Guild Wars 2

I posted this in the bug section and its really been annoying me and I wanted to make sure everyone knows about it.

This bug has been happening ever since they fixed all professions F1 abilities functioning with the rune of vampirism proc. Although for necromancer, the fix has hurt the power necro, due to the fact vampirism runes are almost always the go to choice for zerker/marauder builds in this meta.
You can notice that when I use my deathshroud, roughly 3 seconds afterwards I am forced out causing us to lose even though I had full deathshroud.

yes I noticed this too..

In my case (and it happened a couple times) the scenario was this:

I got under 25% health, went to DS and then as soon as I got the next hit the vamp rune kicked me into mist form out of DS…

this just sucks since DS can be used sort of as a panic button but as it is now, vamp runes are just not usable as necro..

solution would be if the 6th ability would be this:

“you become mist if your life falls under 25% (60s icd)”

instead of “… if you get hit under 25% life”
I think it used to be like this but I might be wrong

I am pretty sure it works as intended.

Here is the rule:
-All skills will proc if it meet the requirement.
-If your HP is below 25% and get hit, it will proc the skill.

In the video, you got hit when you are above 25% which brought your HP to below 25%. In this case, vamp rune didn’t proc yet because you didnt get hit while below 25% and then you enter DS and then got hit and then all the requirements met "When struck below 25% health you become mist. (Cooldown: 60s)”.

If anything it is just a bad timing and rune functional.

In fact the real bug is, vamp rune allowed you to use skill at all in that situation.

Tell me if I got this right: from what I can tell from the video, if vamp runes proc while in DS, instead of turning you into mist, they just force you out of DS into “normal” mode. Correct?

im sorry for being a kitten but why are you using vamp runes again? the 6th slot is a guaranteed U DIE button

I don’t understand. You mean the mist form from vamp rune procs like it should? Because in the video it looked like it dropped you into normal mode instead of into mist. I could see the mist form icon on your status bar, but all your skill slots were enabled, whereas they’re locked out when you’re in mist form.

Thats exact, and thats the bug

Its not working as intended, vamp rune triggers when in DS you are hit by an attack that out of DS would trigger vamp rune, but that should not happens cause when in DS attacks hits LF, not your HP…

You just want to win in the argument, don’t you? It doesn’t matter how much LF you have, Your current HP is the standard to trigger all skills in the game. If your HP is below 50% and then enter DS with 100% LF, and then a Thief hit you you will trigger his Panic Strike. Vice versa, if your HP is full and enter DS with 40% LF and a Thief hit you but it will NOT trigger his Panic Strike because your HP is above 50%.

OK, I got it now, thanks. So the 6th rune bonus isn’t proccing Mist Form, but instead simply drops you out of DS. That’s definitely is a bug. It’s normal for transformations to overwrite each other, but in this case the rune transformation isn’t proccing at all.

Jelzouki.4128:

What don’t you understand???

You said

still in vamp but out of deathshroud yes

which confused me. “Still in vamp” implied that Mist Form was working properly, whereas it looked like you were dropped out of DS but not into Mist Form in the video. I thought maybe you were in Mist Form very briefly and I missed it in the video. That’s why I was confused, that’s all. I get what you’re talking about now, and you’re right that it’s a bug.
