Guild Wars 2

So I know this might not be a bug because as a stun break it’s instant cast… but if I cancel the well it goes on full cooldown (like marks). All I get is the 1 sec of stability.
I suppose the same happens when someone interrupts the cast by instantly corrupting/stripping stabilty.

Is this working as intended? Or should the cast time for the well just be changed to instant too?

i think its likely ‘working as intended’
since you’re gaining stability from just activating the skill its had an effect and… ugh i dont know how id explain it without sounding stupid

like eles churning earth, the actual attack is at the end of the cast… but it pulses cripple, as soon as it starts pulsing cripple if you or an enemy cancel it then it goes on full CD, you can cancel it before the cripple pulse starts and it wont go on full CD, im assuming WoPs stability is activated as soon as the skill is pressed and it counts similarly to churning earths cripple

tl;dr just a side effect of it becoming a stunbreaker (and needing stability to be used as a stunbreaker since its not instant cast)… its probably the same for warriors stomp (but im too lazy to check)

Ironically the one second of stability was added as a CC protection during the cast time of the well… so it cant be interrupted :/
However, if I start casting the well and then realize that I need to dodge a huge incoming attack I’m faced with the decision to either waste my well or take a gigantic hit.
So sure, the skill mechanic might work as intended but wasting the well doesn’t seem like an intended possible result of the skill’s design.

Said it before, they should have made the “stability” stun breaks instant, since you can just WoC it (infuriated me when i tried to do the stomp on my warrior to kick people off a poit that was getting well bombed).
