Guild Wars 2

Not that this is a big deal, but I thought it’d be fair to make a note of this.

Note: I am also assuming this was not an intentional thing – I could be wrong.

All Ranger weapon skills other than Whirling Defense get treated equally by Quick Draw. Quick Draw is an amazing skill, but it only lasts for 5 seconds – which is a problem if you try to use Whirling Defense since that skill lasts for 5 seconds. This wouldn’t be a problem if the game recognized that you used the skill based on activation, but instead it only notes it if it “completed” its activation.

There are 2 things that I can think of to fix this.
1) Increase the time from 5 seconds to 6 seconds (or 7->9 for time for other skills).
2) Make Quick Draw recognize skill activation rather than completion.

Anyways I just wanted to make people aware of this possible oversight.

Cheers!

Also i noted it doesnt proc if you “use” an ability while not facing the enemy (it get 3-5 sec cd) and you dont get quickdraw back. It is an issue i think.

Tested Whirling Defense with Quickness and was still unable to get Quick Draw’s cooldown reduction. The only way to obtain it is to cancel Whirling Defense before Quick Draw’s buff depletes. Quite a shame

I think it’s bugged in a lot of ways, some of the reductions are not 66% only half.
