Guild Wars 2

The title says it all. I discovered this way after testing out ways to increase astral force and with a bit of luck managed to find a way to get it from 0->100% within 6,5 second roughly. This is extreamly easily repeatable and doesn’t require any enemys or allies. Has anyone else found this way/ is it reported yet? is there other ways to acquire astral force than staff dmg/ healing + glyph of rejuvenating (bug on this one also; doesn’t have to heal to increase astral force)

TU+the wisp GS trait. Not sure its a bug.

yea its not hard, ive got it a bit faster in a world event

yeeh i guess its one of the neutral zones if its a bug or not i mean technicly you oughta get astral force from damaging and healing allies not trying to heal allies with full health for example=P

not 6.5 sec I guess but its there.

From first drop of astral force generation to f5 available = 5s exactly. Just staff 2 then auto attacking. Can be 1s quicker if I got heals to hit my pet.

In some instances, I have been able to get back in to Astral form in about 3s after leaving it. It is (surprisingly) very easy to get straight back in once it expires, especially for large groups and tonnes of prolonged healing skills that can last even until after Astral form has expired (and give you a big boost towards entering it again immediately).

I’m quite confident this is not intended though, and the numbers will likely be adjusted before launch.

It’s the only viable form of astral force generation that doesn’t require shackling ourselves to the staff. It seems in line with how quickly the staff builds it, given the cooldown on Troll Unguent.

It also seems in line with the warrior’s “To the limit” healing skill.
