Guild Wars 2

I accidentally cancel Death shroud and Plague often by pressing my keybind two times in row very fast while in fight. Does this happen to anyone else?

I was wondering if Anet could put a 1sec keybind lock on these abilities once you activate them so you don’t accidentally cancel them?

It happens to me a lot. Mostly due to lag. I can definitely confirm that it’s NOT an issue of accidentally clicking twice, at least not in most circumstances.

yeah me too… happens to me most of the time.

Yes, it happens to me as well.

It only happens to me when pressing my F1 twice quickly as well Isabis. So unfortunately Boz I think it could be numerous things that effect Death Shroud as I have never had it kick me out due to lag. I already submitted a request to Anet regarding a 1 sec cool down just for that reason… We’ll see what happens

Happened once or twice when I was almost sure that I didn’t pressed F1 again. It may be possible that I just got spike of damage and it ate whole live-force though.

You can be sure about Plague, because 0 does NOT change to Exit Plague Form after using Plague.

1 sec cool down is terrible idea. Some more skilled necromancers (not me ofc :P ) go into DS use on skill and leave it. It may be crucial for them to do it in less than 1sec.

What sAdam said. 1 sec cooldown is in fact yet another necro nerf. The best response to this ‘problem’ is: l2p. Which goes for me as well since I mess up too occasionally.

With Plague form, yes. But no CD, not for Death Shroud, cheers.

1second delay is a nerf? If your popping into ds for less than a second, your definately doing it wrong

And yes happens to me (even plague caus I have that bound to something other than 0)

Edit: spelling and bracing myself for flames. I just don’t see how popping ds for a 1sec fear and leaving instantly is a good idea. I guess only if life transfer is down but if you need a fear that bad, you might as well just stay in it for a bit and let some cd’s reset

I pop in and out of ds all the time to get a fury boost I traited for. I pop in, out immediately and start stabbing with fury boost.

Ah ok makes a bit of sense then cerulean. I don’t play a dagger build and completely forgot about the fury boost.

…and all the other possible effects on leaving DS.

That would suck. Can’t count the number of times i need to jump into DS and back out in under a sec. If your running a build that has an aoe or other effect when going into DS some times your just using DS as a means to get those boons or apply the conditions. In these cases all you want is a fast DS and back out.

Does going into and out happen? Sure but only if you hit it twice. This game does not have a Global CD like other games so you just have to learn not to spam a button trying to get it to work. Since there are very very few things that can keep us from going into DS, come to think of it i can’t think of a single thing (other than Moa) that does keep us from going into DS.

If your just stopping a stomp there is no reason to stay in DS other than to get off the fear. Have done this many times.

It’s probably happened a couple times to me but, imo, the benefits of being able to pop in and out of DS quickly (#3 fear for interrupt, DS entry effects, etc.) far outweigh the negatives of accidentally going back out of DS.

In BWE 3 they had a 3 sec cd before you could leave DS. It was such a large nerf to the Prof that I even thought about not playing it anymore. It was horrible, for worse than all the other nerfs we have gotten. This is even after they tell us “Necro’s need a lot of love” but then they just nerf us again.

Yes I do this as well. I think it’s from playing wow and mashing a button trying to hit it as soon as it comes off general cool down.

It happens, With DS is not so annoying but with plague i hated it…

This has killed me a few times, as I try and quickly switch to it in the heat of battle, but accidentally press it twice. Maybe not a 1sec cd, but instead a 0.5sec cd. That would probably fix it without hurting the play style (since popping in and doing a couple of abilities generally take longer than 0.5sec purely because of casting time)

I do find myself doing it less now that I bound the F1 key to C instead, but I still do it.

Dredlord.8076 – you know that the real noobs are the people trying to abuse the oh herpkitten3 seconds in DS buffs that have a internal 10 second CD, DS is a necro transformation, thus should have the same rules as other transforms (as in not having the transform button be the go out of transformation). The general solution would be that in the first second (the time needed for a DS ability to start casting) that the F1 would be disabled.

Only one of the abilities have a internal cd and its 15 sec not 10 (and it is reported as a bug and lets hope gets fixed). All the other have less than 5 sec internal cd (and that’s if they even have one).

If you can’t learn to not push the button twice, move on to a different Prof, or at least just stop crying about it. Please don’t Nerf all Necro’s just because you can’t l2p.

I was wrong 0 becomes Leave Plague Form.
Sadpanda.

Couldn’t agree with you more, AFS! I think quick access to and from DS is highly important to the concept of utilizing DS the devs wanted. There are tons of abilities that launch on DS that are utilized well when not in DS.
3 sec of fury may not seem like much, but i covers a full life siphon off of #2MHDagger.
