Guild Wars 2

With the latest batch of patches Anet has finally implemented a visual countdown for the pets f2 skill, while this tiny quality of life fix is great it has brought to my attention a bug of sorts.

I shall preface this saying that I mainly roam in WvW on my ranger. Whilst roaming I have noticed that my pets f2 skill takes on a blue hue and takes longer than the normal cooldown to recharge, so essentially chilled. This effect will remain on my pet until I change map.

I unfortunately don’t have the means to capture gameplay so the best I can do to show what I am referring to is through screen shots. Here are two screen shots of me in a Borderland spawn. The time elapsed from the WvW timer between the two screenshots is 37s, my pet wolf has had 23s of its f2 cooldown lapse during those 37s.

I can only assume this applies to the other pets skills as well, unfortunately there is no visualization of the cooldowns for those skills.

This is the reason why i litteraly stoped using my ranger in spvp since last update.

It happened to me also. Please fix it asap, pets are useless now.

Are you using the pet F2 cooldown reduction trait?
If so, that may be the culprint as that trait got broken when they added invigorating bond.

This blue tint might just be visual skill facts bug, that is effecting the real cooldown not being correctly ajusted. best to report the problem right away by submitting a bug report in game and in the bug thread of the fourms.
