Guild Wars 2

I have noticed that after the patch it seems like we’re unable to swap as fast as we usually could. I constantly find myself BF’ing thin air because it didn’t swap fast enough. I have talked to someone about this in my guild and he said the same thing.

I have noticed this as well, with multiple skills. Everything just seems to be a little bit not quite right.

Ive regularly been finding myself pressing skill buttons on all weapons and them not activating. At first I wondered if it was some sort of lag related issue, though I’ve never encountered it before in all 9 or whatever months playing. It’s just ever since the patch coincidentally.

Anet did do a lot of work on the reduction on cast time to skill animations etc. Perhaps they stuffed something up.

I actually took a vid today where, at a point, it felt like it was happening. Like I said it could have been lag but this is what it looks like anyway.
At 2:20 the mes is low and running away, I start firing my skills, you see them start blinking as if queued to cast, but nothing ends up happening (So much time passes my toon even has a chance to catch up and “catch” on the enemy). I know that’s what lag can look like, but what it “feels” like is completely different. On the fast paced sword, its VERY obvious.

Exactly. I’ve noticed this as well with Chaos Storm. It seems like all our skill have a slight cast/aftercast increase.

ive had this several times aswell in Spvp.. but my Spvp gets lagg spikes in general since the patch, while my internets is fine… but even when im not lagging theres a chance my swap wont activate…

In WvW I find that this skill is so incredibly slow that it often fails. What gives. Ninja nerf?

I find skills not casting and having to press the button a few times.

I’ve noticed a weird delay happening on iLeap and Chaos Storm in particular, where there’s a gap between when I activate the skill and when the casting actually occurs (as in, I can see the animation literally not happening for a second). It’s like skill lag, but unlike skill lag I’ve experienced before it’s not happening with all skills I try to use. It’s also not happening to me consistently.

I don’t think it’s impacting my Engineer but I’ve only played her post-patch in the dungeon once, if anyone can vouch whether they’re feeling weird delays on other classes we’ll know how wide of an issue this is.

I’ve made threads in the thief and elementalist forums. They are all experiencing the same odd sluggishness in skills. This is not Mesmer specific, it is most definitely a full game problem.

I have noticed this too and have given up on my Sword/Focus/Staff build for the time being. iLeap can already be annoying when the clone doesn’t Leap as intended to it’s target and instead “Stutters and walks to it” Now this Swap delay.

To be honest i think Anet its purposely trying to make us stop playing Mesmer’s because they are cried about so much.

Yeah.. no. I don’t think so.

Ive had similar problems with a few of my skills on Necro and not triggering. Thought it was lag.

I have noticed the same problem post-patch as the OP and thought it was lag or computer related. Good to know I’m not the only one experiencing this.

That’s strange. I’ve not noticed this on my engineer thus far, or my necromancer. I have noticed it on elementalist though. Sometimes I use the button to swap attunements but I didn’t actually swap.

there is a problem on my leap , im not talking about problems bc of area surface , this is different problem because even low range leap going slow or last seconds (0.5 to target) going slow but really boring…..
