Guild Wars 2

So I ran into a mesmer that had a constant, nonstop purplish fluctuating glow around her. It was like the effect of an illusion being shattered, sort of, but nonstop.

I didn’t see her holding anomaly, so I asked her what was causing it. she said “power return, as long as I don’t use all the charges,” which of course was from mantra of recovery. I have used that before and never saw the effect, but I tried it out anyway, and of course, it didn’t happen.

She refused to answer any more questions, so I thought I’d post it to you guys, along with a screenshot. What the heck causes this?

Looks like a visual bug from the cast of either moa morph or mass invisibility. Sometimes visual effects can bug out and remain, and I think that’s what we’re seeing.

Hm. Too bad the individual in question wouldn’t speak to me after the first question or two. She seemed to act like it was common to her, but I dunno. Too bad. It was a very cool effect

Yeah but look at her outfit, this Mesmer looks terrible, 2/10. Clearly having no sense of style what’so ever, they’re also incapable of producing any kind of purple haze effects.

Yup I think this is exactly what we are seeing. It happens to Guardian’s Renewed Focus, Signet of Rage (warrior), and I think Basilisk Venom. Basically, anything that looks like it’s distorting reality (most elite skills have this “distortion” visual effect) can bug out

It’s a cool bug, sometimes it disappears if you sheath your weapon. Other times it will be their permanently until you die or go to another map.

Well, could be that she herself wasn’t able to see the bug. I sometimes have the frost/fire breath animation stuck on a D/D ele while he can’t see it himself.
