Guild Wars 2

Is anyone else finding Zephyr’s Speed not working when you try to stomp someone in TPvP under the effect of quickness.

It does the action but it doesn’t give you the stomp and you have to re-do the stomp at normal speed.

Beastmastery – Zephyr’s Speed 5 points.

Can someone please confirm this, or am I the only one having this problem.

I could of swore I read someone else was having this problem, It may of been you though that I read it from..

i honestly wouldn’t be surprised, they were screwing with rangers or something on test server it seems

Yeah, not sure how long it’s been bugged but my team mates in TPvP have asked me to stop using QZ to stomp.

Also Runes of the Water and Runes of the Flock don’t proc any of there effect’s you only get the state bonuses.

So many new bugs with the latest updates.

Flock is the one that gives buffs to people around you right?

I honestly don’t think it has ever worked..

It didn’t work many months ago when I tried it.

I can tell you that there have been times in WvW where I’ve tried pet swap stomps and had the animation play out with nothing happening.

You have to stand still and wait for the stomp to finish even after the animation is done. The quickness stomp animation lasts around 2.5 seconds but Zephyrs speed only lasts for 2 seconds so the actual stomp takes around 3+ seconds. You lose even more seconds from the time it takes to activate the stomp after pet swapping.

Its not really worth it anymore you will only shave 1sec off the stomp at best now after the quickness nerf.

That 1 seconds is all you need. But I’m sure there is a bug it’s happened almost every single time I’ve tried to QZ stomp. I’ve stopped using it all together for stomping now its a good way to res downed people.

When I’ve done it, it seems like the animation ends and it appears the stomp failed, but if you wait another .5 or full second and do not restomp, the downed target does actually get stomped. I’ve been meaning to test this outside of an actual match to be sure.

Oh I get what he’s talking about now..

Yea you’ll finish the stomp and then the actual person will stomp a bit later, Its always done that I think

this has been in the game a long time now..

but thought I would bring this up..

If you use any other class with access to quickness say like a warrior the same happens altho from past experience warriors quickness stomps seem faster on that delay or it might just be me going crazy, but there could be small differences in the code’s.. maybe.. if anyone wants to test and do side by side shots of ranger v warrior quickness stomps please do.. I would but I dont feel like making a warrior atm

i’ll check it out in spvp

K tested it on SPvP, Quickening Zypher feels its giving just as fast as stomp as warrior (though warrior does feel slightly faster, it could just be a visual thing)

However the pet swap quickness doesn’t feel like its working…The animation is faster yes, but the actual stomp time appears to be the same.

I seem to remember something about needing quickness all throughout the entire stomp or it wont work. The animation time of the stomp is longer than 2 seconds, and activating quickness when you’re already stomping does nothing.

I live in Australia, so that might be half the reason my QZ stomp always bug’s out on me.

Wish Anet would give us some information on how it works between the 2, cause you might be right about the 2 seconds from QZ vs the time it takes to stomp someone.

The problem is you need to pet swap before you stomp, so by the time you activate the stomp you only have like 1.5seconds of quickness left so your stomps will still be over 3 seconds (you will only get a 3 second stomp if you get the full 2 seconds of quickness, which you wont.)

It does work its just not very good for stomping anymore. Pet swap stomps will take 3-4 seconds depending on how fast you can activate stomp after pet swapping. 3 seconds is the fastest you can get if you pet swap and stomp at the same time.
