Guild Wars 2

I reported this in the bug section, but I’m wanting to know if others are experiencing this bug? I was seeing this and thought maybe it was lag or something else til other necro’s in my guild complained about the same thing.

Whoever was stomping you either blinded you or had stability. Not a bug

Now i’m not sure but I think you can also “miss” by not having someone targeted (happens most if you instantly press 2 on down) or if there’s a mild obstruction like a step or a small decline/incline between you and the target. It sometimes fails for me too without the stability/blind issue. Actually just happened on Skyhammer when I tried to fear a thief, had her targeted, didn’t have blind, it completed way before stomp, didn’t start “too fast” and she didn’t have stability. I was sort of around the side of the control panel on the steps. If it had worked I would have feared her off the edge. It wasn’t meant to be. :p

Happened to me today two times. Without a stability or blind. Not sure, maybe it’s a lag issue.

I also noticed in wvw that the downed state fear seems to fail often. And most of the times it fails neither blind nor stability are present. (lag also no issue, last fail was in 1 vs 1)

Happens a lot in PvP for me (no stability or blind). I think it might be lag…?

I think the issue is actually the targeting involved, especially when working with the #1 downed skill channel. Oftentimes when I try and switch targets, it decides to… not… and makes me miss my intended target.

Or something like that. The targeting causes me to miss way more than it should, just can’t think coherently on WHY it seems to do that.

It happens to me to sometimes in WvW, without noticeable blind\stability, but I guess I just assumed it was lag, either not seeing the blind\stability or the usual skill lag in WvW and it not firing before the stomp registers. I mean in any big fight it seems like only #1 works reliably, so it didn’t surprise me that #2 Fear lags.

A target related problem would make sense too, though I hadn’t considered that.

@ OP happens pretty often honestly.. If you are downed, just wait till you are dead..
Anet knows necro downed state is a farce and utterly inconsistent with all the gimmics on other professions..

hence the dmg increase on downed since they are lazy in fixing stuff…. (not that it wil matter since we are stompmaterial ^^)
