Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this has been posted, but I notice the anchor skill for mesmer’s trident #5 i believe? is bugged. It does really low dmg or no dmg at all despite the tooltip stating it hits multiple times at a pretty decent dmg. Has anyone noticed this as well?

I haven’t been paying attention tbh, I tend to use it when I want to temporarily disable a mob rather than for the damage it supposedly does.

When an enemy target is under the effect of the anchor all the attacks made to it are reflected back to the source.

It’s a bug. When you apply the anchor you’re actually buffing the mob with reflect damage.

Yep.
It’s bugged and very annoying.

Woa…sad times.

I hadn’t noticed this bug actually. I did notice however, that the visual for this spell will often not appear, which is a shame because it ’s a cool looking ability.

I can’t say it happens 100% of the time… but I’ve noticed that I anchor a shark solo in the ater and suddenly I have confusion stacks all over me while they are anchored… sharks only bleed/poison.

I’ve opted to not use it. The underwater combat is a bit lack luster to me anyway. I feel like we do too little damage underwater compared to when I hop on the shore and kill things faster with equal level/quality weapons.
