Guild Wars 2

Anyone know if Malicious Sorcery is working properly now?

Both the cooldown reduction and attack speed did work before. What “fix” are you expecting? The fact that it should not also increases speed of utilities and stomp?

I don’t think anybody has ever said that’s not working as intended, and it’s certainly a valid reading of the trait text.

(But I still half-expect it to get a stealth nerf in a future patch.)

I just remember a huge amount of rage after the last big change. People were going on about it being bugged.

The ‘huge amount of rage’ after the last update was in response to the changes to Necro’s scepter. Mesmers would also like their Scepter skills improved. Specifically, most would agree that the Clone produced from the AA is a hindrance to the scepter’s overall function and would prefer it removed.

Probably that too, but there was also a stink about Malicious Sorcery.

MS was broken for some time after the June 23rd patch to not be adding the attack speed increase. Sometime between then and now, it was fixed.
And there was much rejoicing.
And then we realized that it still kinda sucks for a GM trait.

At least it gets some use now, though. That’s more than you can say for Mistrust.

The Clone generation is fine. Its when it overwrites Phantasms that it becomes a problem.

Now that its shatter city though its no longer a major issue.
