I’m not sure if this has been raised before, but we all know this scam is happening right before our eyes. Pretty much all abilities (please let me know if there’s more), react fine with the quickdraw trait, so i guess is working as intended that this just doesn’t work… for whatever reason.

So my question is why is this so? I mean is it really that op to have two 5 sec reflects in a 25 sec window (effectively 15 sec of downtime)? Is it because of the vulnerability it applies? What’s really the reasoning for this?

Just cancel it right before it finishes.
It will get the QD effect.

It’s a bug.

I’m pretty sure it was just a bug that they forgot to fix, simply as that.

That’s indeed the case, breaking near the end lowers the cooldown to 5ish seconds, guess i’m ainda of glad it’s due to a bug, still hoping to see it fixed though.

It’s a bug and something else as well. It doesn’t obtain the Quick Draw bonus even if you perform Whirling Defense with Quickness (though it’s not worth doing so any how). Another bug persists where Quick Draw + any weapon skill trait reduction cooldowns do not stack. However, Mesmer weapon skill traits + the Illusion recharge trait does. I almost want to call bullkitten but this is Ranger, afterall…
