Guild Wars 2

Double-clicking via keyboard or mouse should not be possible on Death Shroud or Plague. A double-click wastes the cooldown so much.

You guys fixed this problem on Focus 4 for mesmers, and as far as I know DS and Plague had these cooldowns before September 9.

Plague you might have a case, but ds… no just no. This has been said many times but some people use it to flash stability, retal, fury, weakening shroud, heal on ds exit etc.

Ok, that makes sense.

But Plague, definitely. It’s not like the stability sticks around there, probably by design.

But… they did fix this with plague – I believe there is a 1 second delay from when you transform to when the un-transform? button is available to be pressed – I know Anet addressed this one time or another

they did add a 1s between in/exit of plague to prevent wasting the 3min CD.

But i must admit it happened to me this week. It was most probably the cause of another lagspike

Mesmer focus was changed because it had no counter/tell in pvp when it was instant. Not because people were accidentally double tapping it. Plague should have a 1 second delay. So there is nothing to complain about.

I have noticed that the plague gets on cool down when I’m taking heavy damage and I try to activate it to prevent getting downed, might have something to do with lag spikes, not sure. Definitely not double taping it …

It has nothing to do with lag or double tapping it. It’s a bug that happens when you run out of Life Force while in Death Shroud and then try to go into Plague immediately. It will cancel itself within half a second, leaving you vulnerable as seen in the videos below.

The bug was introduced with the April feature pack, half a year ago. Even though I have made it clear in the forums, nobody from Anet bothers to read or fix it.

Yup this happened to me too today … and tested afterwards and its not because lag or doubleclick. Before i always thought its because i doubleclick or something. They need to fix this asap … gamebreaking bug.
