Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

i have a question about the DS change. I know i could wait till patch day but im bored atm so… here’s the question:

Death Shroud: Players can now interact with objects while in Death Shroud

We’ll be able to interact with objects in DS. Will this also mean that pre-casted skills before entering DS won’t be canceled? For example if we are stomping a foe (stomp-cast) and we enter ds it won’t be canceled post patch (correct me if i’m wrong). Wouldn’t it be like a spell-cast that wouldn’t be canceled as well?

What do you think/know?
(Sorry for bad english)

as it stands, DS is a transform, not a 3rd weapon set. it got its #5 skill only after being moved down to weapon slots in the UI and it doesnt trigger weapon swap signets.

Instant transforms, like mist form, small engie, plague form, can only be pre-cast. You cant interact, but somehow the instant transform didnt break the chanel

Lich has cast time, and so DS was actualy only transform that did this. If it will break the chanel and only allow to restart the animation once in DS is something we there fore cant know.

Would be a huge and underestimated buff if we can pre-cast weapon skills before entering DS without cancelling casts or even channeling skills don’t you think?

That it would. I’m more interested to see if I can start a stomp or a res and hit ds mid res or stomp without it canceling the stomp ot res.

i wouldnt worry about that , rather the void it will cause on your skill bar, 1,5 sec of no main slots due to transform back & forth ; low health + low LF + high presure.
P.S. it is a speculation ofc

Here’s another question: can we use Death Perception with ele conjures?

Im pretty sure only the stomp precast is a question.

Any weapon cast should be interupted on DS, were not ele attunements. It would even more of a slow cast and pray machine, if youd be stuck chaneling your staff auto for another 1,3s before actualy starting to cast 1,2,4, or 5.

Also pretty sure DS + ice bow wont work

It might if you enter death shroud, then pick it up.

Still, we won’t know until post-patch.

If you’re able to interact it might work, yes. Not that its a big deal since in PvE you’d be able to hit near 100% crit chance in a decent group anyway, but yeah.
