Guild Wars 2

The taunt applies instantly, but you can still cancel cast your F2 to use it only for the interrupt. That’s really, really cool.

What happens if you use the F2, then swap pets immediately?

Thats a bug, you can do the same with necro sigils for might, warrior f1 for +20% damage etc.

Balance patch was rushed

pretty sure the taunt stops.

but I have to tell you guys, BW is everything I was hoping for. it’s responsive, it’s instant, range is decent. makes 2v1’s really easy =) bird just eat through light/medium armor, aoe blinds, weakness. it’s too good.

What setup (condis or power) you are talking about?

I hope it’s not a bug since it still has an ICD. This makes it really interesting IMO. Will be sad if they patch that.

And yes, the taunt stops immediately after you cancel cast, you’re using it only for the interrupt.

I pretty much only ran 2/0/6/6/0, so im using 0/0/6/6/6 post patch, settler stats. it’s one of the only builds that’s not struggling in this insane power/condi burst meta, from what ive seen so far anyway. im really enjoying the weakness spam and near-perma prot. it’s what we needed.

The more I think about this, there is no way it’s a bug. You’re self-nerfing by canceling 2 seconds of CC and still suffering the ICD. I think this is intended, and if so it’s now a staple of WvW and PvP.

That sounds exactly like I had always dreamed it would be. This makes me so happy.

Perhaps my drakes will be able to reliably land their F2 for once. I can’t imagine how effective I will become…

I’m thinking pink moa. Decent AoE heal + daze that can actually land sounds good.

right now im running BW with traps actually. u can potentially hard-CC a bunch of people for 4 seconds with the knockdown and taunt. they stunbreak, do Entangle and profit.
