Guild Wars 2

Problems with how Chillblains (Staff skill No. 3) and Greater Marks (Death Magic trait) interact:
- Poison field is not made larger.
- If a mob hits the end of the mark, it is not chilled or poisoned. A mob has to be hit where the poison field lands to be afflicted with chill and poison.

What this means is the mark cannot be used as a “trap” with the Greater Marks trait.

I can put up with the other bugs because they’re mostly related to functionality and quality of life, but this bug actually makes Chillblains worse. It would honestly be better if Greater Marks didn’t affect Chillblains at all.

Wait…wha? I would just like to see the bug fixed. Why would it be better if it didn’t affect it all, if you don’t mind me asking?

There is a bug compilation thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Necromancer-bugs-compilation-updating/page/8#post249149

Because a non-greater mark’d chillblains will work 100% of the time.

Eh, I am sure that it will be fixed, too. Though, nachtnebel is right. I have seen one or two people post this in the Necro bug list.

I didn’t see a bug thread, but I honestly think this deserves its own thread. Unlike the other bugs, this trait actually makes an ability worse. That makes it more urgent in my eyes.

I added this bug to the Necromancer Bug Compilation thread, Stickied on this Necro sub-forum.

@Lopez
Posts like this, usually dissapear in less than a week, then another player creates a new thread reporting the same bug. And then we have 30+ threads about bug reports hidden in the pages 2,3,4,5 of the Necro forum.

Thats why we collect all bugs on the Sticky, easy to organize, easy to check if the bug was already reported, and easier for the developers to check all bugs and start fixing them.

I hope you understand why is this way.
