Guild Wars 2

Ok, this is a pretty ‘random’ bug I’m experiencing, so I’m just going to come out and say it:

Do any other Mesmers occasionally start to run REALLY slow when they receive or have the Protection boon ‘proc’ on them?

Running around the other night with the Signet of Inspiration on me to try it out, and Protection proc’d. Afterwards? I’m running really, really slow like some extra in the Chariots of Fire video! I had to leave the instance for it to reset.

Same has just happened in Tixx: a Guardian is giving out Protection all over the place and suddenly I get one and I’m running really slow again.

I’ve submitted a bug report, but as this is so very bizarre, I thought I’d also ask here, too.

Actually protection Boons might be putting us in combat resulting in the slower run speed, as I have noticed being stuck in combat run speed for unusually longer periods of time.

Wow, I thought it was just me.

I’ve been experiencing the same intermittent slow downs also… even doing the jump puzzle where supposedly no skills are active and on my bar.

It stopped as soon as I removed the signet of inspiration.

I just completed a Tixx run and I was permanently slowed the WHOLE instance. I did not have any sigils equiped at all.

I have a complete set of Rune’s of Lyssa, where I’m granted 2 buffs whenever I heal. When the instance started I was fine, but after a couple of heals I slowed down and it seemed to coincide with protection buff. But about 5-10 minutes it, it was a permanent slow.. Even with NO buffs at all, my speed was less than half everyone else. I actually speeded up when I dodged!!

At the end, I got “chilled” and for 2 seconds I actually ran fine then the chill went away and I was slowed again. It seemed like the Chilled condition worked in reverse.

I was NOT chilled, but my movement was slowed. When I got chilled, my movement was fine. Even using the focus, did not speed me up. Wasn’t until I left the instance did it go away.

I had this bug today as well, I had to relog to “get out of combat”, I was out of combat but running at combat speed, all my utilities and gear could be changed though. Was frustrating to have to log out and in.
