Guild Wars 2

Fellow necromancers, a wave of a death hand to all of you.
I would like to know if someone else has encountered this particular bug yet: switching from signet of spite to signet of locust sometimes put the SoL in a partial cooldown (20 sec). Meaning, I’m a slow depowered snail, without a reason.
This is annoying in general PvE, but becomes very grating in dungeons, when I need to switch beetween them back and forth.
Does somebody else know of this?

I believe you are experiecing the bug that applies to all classes and skills if you also use that utility under water, but on a different slot.

For example: you have Skill A on slot 7 under water. On land skill B occupies that slot.
If you swap in Skill A in slot 8 on land it will copy the cooldown of Skill B.

The solution to your skill conflict is: don’t use Signet of the Locust underwater.

Yeah its to do with underwater utilities. Best way to avoid this type of bug on all classes is to only put skills you never use on land on your underwater skillbar.

I experienced this bug in TA up path mostly: especially after the bosses. The Champion Nightmare Vines and Malrona come to mind markedly (and after Malrona this bug is a hassle). I knew of the underwater/land duplicity and how it affects skills cooldown.
Does this mean I’ve found a brand new bug to add to the necro cluster? We could almost use them as skill, instead of locust swarm…

No its the same issue. You dont need to go underwater to get the bug. You just need to have certain utilities on your underwater set. It doesnt put the skill on its own cd. For example i had it bug on my signet of fury on warrior. It went on 180 second cooldown (banner cooldown).

Thank you for your answer and explanation: I’ll swap underwater skill asap.
