suggestion about necromancer's shroud
Can developers please add one sec COOLDOWN to shroud disable? It is most annoying thing when you accidentally hit button two times and get killed with full life force pool.
No they won’t, they fixed rev facets, and engi turrets but they won’t fix shroud.
Why? Because fixing it mildly inconveniences shroud flashing builds, despite the fact that nobody has used shroud flashing builds in over 2 years.

Am I the only person who hates this?
Man, I’d really love to see this issue fixed, yes, I see it as an issue.
Especially with unholy sanctuary; at low health i often try to hit F1 but get hit a split second after my dodge and before my shroud, so i end up killing myself by disabling. Shroud flashing builds don’t seem to exist much anymore, so this should definitely change.
I can apply over 3 stacks of bleeding.
i still find times when i still flash ds for some situations. Just try not be so spammy when hitting your ds/rs button…

This needs a fix. Nearly impossible to not accidentally cancel it with WvW skill lag… >.>
personnally i don’t see this as an issue. It’s just something tha you need to get used to. A matter of experience.
No core profession should be balanced around an optional elite specialization.
This change would make me hate necro. Just because you spam the button and accidently flash shroud doesn’t mean others don’t find shroud flashing useful. Forcing me to stay in shroud for longer wouldn’t be good.

They already tried this during HoT beta with Reaper’s Shroud, but the feedback they got made them remove it. You’re a minority in wanting this, no matter how loudly you shout on the forums.
Also as I wrote on reddit, balancing around lag and people’s inability not to spam buttons is not the way a company should balance.
Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death.

Pls edit your reply to “then you are lost”.
But in all seriousness, yes people just need to stop bashing f1 or anticipate said lag. As someone who used to live with the most terrible internet, I know you can anticipate it. Its as simple as “if your skill doesn’t go off at first, don’t press the button again” because you’re lagging.

And yet they already fixed revenant facets, and engi turrets because of this. Literally every single flip skill in the game except for necromancer shroud has had this problem fixed.
The bug is so common that it’s mentioned on the official wiki page for death shroud.

What exactly did they fix for rev facets? Because if I spam Darkness (both instant cast like shroud) like a madman, then the exact same thing happens as it does with shroud. If you hold down your shroud button to go into shroud, it doesn’t instantly pop you out of it. So it is a l2not frantically tap your shroud key issue.

Revenant facets require two distinct double taps, and you’ll notice there is a slight delay on the second flip. While shroud can exited before the icon on your UI even changes from entering shroud.
I do not double tap shroud, this issue is as much a hardware and network issue as it is a player one.

That’s because the beta weekened “fix” was a full-on 1 second cooldown. What they ought to do what they did with other sequence skills where there is just a tiny aftercast that only affects the sequence. This allows the skill to be double pressed, but disallows misfire.

OP’s original suggestion was a 1s cd so I think we can both agree that shouldn’t happen. A tiny aftercast wouldn’t be out of the question but I still think stand by my original statement that catering to people don’t know how to not spam or (to a much much lesser extent) people that are just lagging is a bad idea in general.

Im not common user of forums just came here to suggest some smart and logical thing such as making very little cd on shrouds (reaper or standart doesnt matter need on both). I started play my alt which is necro and I find its very stupid and not logical that you cant spam shroud on low health and when u have 1-2 sec cd left because you will enter and exit in less than 0.5 sec. And lets be realistic there is alot of abilities in game with such low cd (0.5-1 sec) for reason of spaming hotkey when needed. This is a very little fix to necro, devs could describe it like them said like “quality of life change” or smth I dont care, but its obviously needed and sounds logical. Have no idea if devs actually listen to random posts but waht ever. I said waht i want.
