Guild Wars 2

I don’t know when this change happened, but i just noticed, so it has to be fairly recent.

Previously, when you would channel Life Transfer (deathshroud #4 skill) just before running out of lifeforce, it would still complete the whole channel after running out of lifeforce and therefore dropping out of deathshroud.
But now, the Life Transfer cancels when dropping out of deathshroud.

Was this an intended change or is it a bug?
I really miss being able to do that because it synergized very well with siphon!

Wasnt this fixed a few patches back? Havent really been paying attention. But i remember seeing it in some patch notes. Might of been leaked fake ones though. So im not certain.

Intended change that they announced when they nerfed the “life force runs out, but if u get 10% lf before next 10s you can already jump back into DS” thing.

Sucks but now we can hope and focus on making the thing , all other traits and stuff actualy heal us in DS, so keep spamming puppy eyes if you see a red post

what??

Oh i was think of when you get knocked out of DS by taking damage and it continues to life transfer. Yes if it drains naturally it will cancel. That was an intended change from over a year ago.

No, they reverted that.

Death Shroud: Reverted a change that caused this effect to incorrectly cancel abilities (such as stomping) when the necromancer’s death shroud runs out.

If it’s back, it’s a bug. Life Transfer should not be cancelling just because you ran out of life force. If you manually left death shroud, it should cancel.

That said, I just did it a couple times yesterday. Didn’t have an issue.

EDIT: Today, on the other hand, it is definitely cancelling. Bug report time!

I hope you’re right! gonna report bug ingame. however, stomping doesn’t cancel whenn runing out of LF so thats not connected.

Yep, submit a bug report…maybe we’ll get lucky and it’ll get fixed in 6 months.
