Guild Wars 2

I posted some days ago about a hunter’s shot bugg, but they moved my post and no one will look at it anymore I guess. Some people reacted some obvious things about hunter’s shot, but I’m clearly talking about a bug and not something I overseen/missed/didn’t know.

As you see in the picture, the only skill I use is hunter’s shot. the last hunter’s shot I used I got a crit and an air sigil proc. But that has nothing to do why I got revealed, Directly after shooting hunter’s shot I started to jump, and I got revealed.

Now this does not happen if I get stealth from mesmer/thief it only happens with hunter’s shot.

greetings.

Download some free recording software like fraps so you can record video of it happening.

All this show is that you do damage after hunter shot with your sigil procing.
Personnally tried it : Out of 10 try never get revealed.

- I tried without doing anything after hunter shot.
- I tried and move
- I tried and jump
- I tried and dodge
- I tried with pet attacking
- I tried and then use non damaging utilities skill

Never get revealed until doing damage while in stealth. (even the poison from Poison master didn’t reveal me). Just get rid of sigil/rune that proc damage you won’t have this intended effect.

Well I tried it myself a few days ago. and Hunter’s shot didn’t reveal me when it crit and procced Sigil of Air.

Maybe it has to do with ping? Could a delay in the connection do it? I’m not sure. But maybe tell us what your ping is as well (bottom right in options window).

Or maybe it’s down to chance? Does this happen to you every single time or only sometimes?

this isn’t a new thing.

I read somewhere sigil of air wont cast in mid-air. So after you land it casts and can reveal you. This is known by thieves.

My ping is 40 average, it has nothing to do with delay and it happens only sometimes like 1/20 but it’s gamebreaking ofcourse in fights.

I’m using rune of the pack
I don’t do any other damage obviously you can see that in the combat log.

I’m using also sigil of blood sometimes ectually, so probably this sigil gets you revealed? If it is so it should be fixed.

I thought that was fixed awhile ago. Of course it’s very possible it came back, I think anet tends to copy paste old broken code, which would explain why certain bugs like cloak and dagger off walls, and being able to +5 the blue bl hills were fixed for about a month and then broken again in a new patch.

Yeah it should be fixed, but don’t wait for it.

Just go with Sigil of Force or Sigil of Accuracy instead. Or another sigil that doesn’t proc damage.

I mean I might even change it. When Hunter’s Shot doesn’t work for me, I sometimes don’t know what caused it since there are so many ways for it to fail. The angle could be wrong, they could have evaded or blocked or I was blinded or they reflected or destroyed the projectile or maybe they got hit by barrage. The stealth is quite unreliable when you think about it. If Sigil of Air also causes reveal 1/20 times, then I may just have to get rid of it.

well it’s kinda sad, but i’ll go with force over air then…

Took me whole min to test it. No theory crafting needed.

Thanks. Time to get rid of it. It might only rarely happen, but it needs to be as reliable as I can possibly make it.

You could go with sigil of blood, completely armor ignoring dmg and it gives a bit more sustain.

Wouldn’t all damaging proc sigils have this problem? including fire and blood?

Sigil of blood won’t have this issue as it doesn’t proc a separate skill like fire/air.

Anet doesn’t care that many skills, not just Rangers, fail to go off period.

Anet does not care about bugs nor skills that do not work – never have, never will, but they will take your money and lock your bug report posts.

… and lock your bug report posts.

There isn’t a locked post for the 1st 10 pages on the bug forum (I didn’t look further than that 10), are you sure you are not just blowing things out of proportion?

Yea they lock bug post when they are not posted in the bug forums like this one >_>
