Guild Wars 2

Is anyone else having trouble with this heal? It feels like it has some kind of ‘pre-cast’ which makes me either interrupt (not with dodgerolls) it or simply ignore it and cast the next spell I use. In heated fights I often go for the heal.. and then 2sec later see that nothing happened and it’s not even on CD.

I only feel it with this skill, so I hope it’s no l2p issue. Was just wondering if others feel the same and if there is a way ‘around’ it.

That would be the ridiculous 1.25 second cast-time.

Pompeia.5483:

That would be the ridiculous 1.25 second cast-time.

That is another topic but not what I mean.. it’s like it also takes ages until the 1.25cast even starts.

Like I said I often press the heal and then notice nothing happened, I used the next spell in rotation and heal is NOT on cd.. so it didn’t get interrupted.

i haven’t been experiencing any issues with this skill at all
are you saying it has queueing problems or something?
or just an actual delay when you click the healing skill?
have you tried repeating in a situation where it’s not a “heated moment” but try seeing where you notice it not functioning correctly between other skills?

You don’t happen to be talking about WvW 3-way skill lag issues are you? These days whenever 3 servers are in the general vicinity, you’ll experience skill lag. Skills 1-5 would cast with a small amount of delay, but skills 6-10 are the worst with longest amount of delay & queuing.

No it is just something that happens in normal 5vs5 unranked arena games.
Just noticed that I either interupt myself or this spell just doesn’t trigger as smooth as any other spell on classes I play. It is weard to discribe and I haven’t tested it outside of heated fights.

In this thread I feel like I’m imagening things but a guildy actually said he feels so too.

I’ll test it HotM tomorrow. The last few days it felt like there is a ‘pre-cast’ or delay on the skill that.. well.. makes me sometimes skip/ignore the heal and use the next spell I intended to use after it.

Edit: For more information.. I gernerally have 30-60 ping and enough fps ins sPvP so that shouldn’t be a cause.
