Guild Wars 2

After about 8 months of inactivity I have been playing a little more the last couple weeks. One thing I keep noticing is that I keep messing up the DS + Doom combo. I’ll hit DS and quickly hit 3 but then I look at my DS bar and it’s like I never cast Doom.

Is my timing just off or did something change? Was there some sort of cool down added when entering DS?

It could be several things at once. If you have been playing another game with more instant response, the comparison to GW2 server response could be unfavorable. Also, there are transformation and cast delays that are real and definitely noticeable. Finally, lag in busy maps like LA will also slow response.
