Guild Wars 2

After leaving deathshroud, there is sometimes roughly 1 second of all the necromancer’s skill being inactive. This happens while you are not in deathshroud and happens completely randomly. It was introduced something like 3 patches ago when the weapon swapping in deathshroud was also inadvertently prohibited.

Please fix this. Necromancers aren’t exactly amazing right now and both of these annoyances really cap the powerlevel on Necromancer.

Thank you.

This bug was here even before the patch where they disabled Weapon swap in DS. You’ll notice it happening a lot when you get CC and kicked out of DS, or sometimes just switching out at the wrong time and your heal/utilities will be locked.

I’ll try to reproduce it a couple of times in videos if it can help getting it fix.

As for the weapon swap, they stated this was unintentional, but that they weren’t changing it back. Very unfortunate, but considering their statement I don’t think that part can be considered a bug any longer.

I really don’t know how to consistently reproduce this, but I did add it to the list a while ago, something I often don’t do for bugs I can’t recreate well. I think it has to do with being forced out of DS while under control effects.

Been getting this a lot today. It may be due to server latency or a bug; I’ve yet to pin point it myself. I do notice that all of my utility skills don’t show up on my bar for a full 1-2 seconds at times.

I’ve had this happen a lot in large WvW encounters (30+). Haven’t been able to reproduce it in the mists at all.

Yes, this skill lock out has gotten me killed. The weapon swap in DS really took away from the ability of all necros to ‘master DS’ right now DS is nothing but a bad damage buffer that lowers your damage output as conditions a considerable amount.

^Unless you’re underwater. Underwater DS is awesome… of course I don’t really go underwater because someone, somewhere, decided we will have only plague form as an underwater elite… but still, I really wish I had that ‘fear wave’ on land. It makes the fear damage trait actually good and the utility on the #4 and #1 come in handy as well.

I also considered that is was because my ping. Then again when I`m in WvW and I`m in deep kitten, I usually end up dead(wish I was looking like a War or Guar so I won`t get kittening focused all the time).
