Guild Wars 2

Did they break it? after i get out of DS i have no heal/utility/elite skills for a whole second, and due to its nature one of its uses was as a “oh crap” button, so this is screwing me up

You are not alone. And signets inactive function doesn’t work until you use them initially. It is not entertaining … it is frustrating, borderline an atrocity.

Can’t say I’ve had either of these problems. I was popping death shroud a lot last night too and constantly running signets.

… not fair :‘(
On the other hand, I wouldn’t wish my frustrations for other ppl.
It just feels so odd, that signets are sometimes working … like 1 in 10 they work as they should right from the start. And DS … every kind of kb/interrupt seem to be capable of triggering me getting kicked out it.

In Fractals today I did have the issue once of my utilities being locked for a second. It wasn’t crucial, but I did notice it.

I have noticed being knocked immediatiely out of DS on any form of interrupt or KB last night during tPVP play. I did not notice it in pve play.

thought I was the only one that noticed this, glad I’m not alone >.>

From what I’ve read around the forums it seems the update screwed with most classes signets. I have yet to experience any trouble with DS though.

Can fully confirm,when out of DS i get 1 sec of blank utilty skill bar+elite +heal.Pretty frustrating in pvp!!!!!Fix it pls!

I can confirm this bug too. It happened to me several times in PvE, sPvP and WvW since the last patch.

happens to me all the time.

I am having this issue as well. It can cause some serious problems for my playstyle as I use DS when I’m low on health sometimes and leave when my heal CD is ready.

Same here so bump for justice and possible full ui and design fix of DS!

Might be better to post this in the bugs forum?

I’ve had this issue as well in sPvP. It lasts for about .2 or .3 seconds, for me. As per Leadfoot’s advice, I’ve made a thread in the bug forum (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Leaving-DS-Healing-Utilities-Elite-Gone). Feel free to post there concerning replication and other insight. Take care everyone!

Just to add some tests:

I got Reaper’s protection, so it may be the culprit.

In WvW, if I’m hit by some CC while in DS, I get out of DS, DS is not on cooldown, and my bar is locked for 1 sec. I can go back in DS immediately after.

You can test it with any vet guards that protect flags or camps.

Its not RP, dont have any points in Death Magic and still happens.

bump got this prob too

Andele did you notice the same effect though: You’re been CC and then kicked out of DS with DS not on cooldown? That seems to trigger the skill lock, since the patch “something” kicks us out of DS.

btw i dont know if its related or not, but since the patch if you enter DS while in a transformation (IE the ghost one in ascalonian catacombs path 3 or in a charr in the ascalonian fractal) you turn into “yourself” with the DS effects. What it did before is applying the DS effects over the transformation.

My guess is DS finally fully counts as a transformation (didnt get turned into DS moa since patch vs a mesmer despite being in DS) using the player character as the default skeleton for the texture and effects, thus just being late on going out of the full transformation and into original form.

I noticed this tonite in PVE. It happened several times, most notably with the giant’s stomps in Nageling in Diessa Plateau where it happened multiple times, but also with some other encounters.
