Guild Wars 2

I logged in yesterday after about a month of time off and I couldn’t help but notice that all the spirits would now cast their on use skills instantly as opposed to the 1-1.5 secs delay before. Is it just me or did they stealth “fix” this to prevent self rezz? I only got to play the nature spirit once yesterday for the rezz and failed at it but it could’ve been just me taking a little too long to drop the last 1k health.

If it’s not just me observing this, can somebody confirm or deny self rezz as an available option still?

It is, I use it on an almost daily basis. For whatever reason though, it doesn’t activate sometimes, like it just doesn’t register and attempt to activate. I attribute it to server lag.

Happens to me alot as well, it’s especially painful when you have 2-3 people down in a group fight and you press it and nothing happens.

That’s why they put in the delay in the first place. Rather than tracking down the bug and fixing it, they just put in a delay so that it was impossible for you to actually use the skill quickly enough to trigger the bug.

That caused more problems (IMHO) than the original bug. Glad to hear they switched it back. I would rather take my chances with this bug happening or not, and have a chance to instantly res my friends. Than have the spirit mechanic changed so that I could never instantly res my friends.
