Guild Wars 2

I use raven and owl as my pets.
But their F2 ability is like 80 percent of the time on a longer cooldown. The numbers are in blue like if the pet is chilled, but its not. Ive tested this even out of combat and when i press F2 it goes on cooldown with some chill effect on the skill.
Are there maybe other pets with this? (Cant test this now cause im not at home).

Also, when i lay down a frost trap and an enemy is walking over it, the enemy is not affected by the initial trigger. Only the seconds pulse creates the chill effect. If i compare it with the fire trap, the fire trap immediatly triggers the effect from the first pulse. I seems to my like it should work the moment someone triggers it.

I can second this.

Some of the pig family (Siamoth? Warmog? Not sure now), sometimes the bear… This bug is here.
The thing is – you can actually cast the ability sooner than the cooldown goes down. The cooldown stays the same, you’ll just have no idea when you can use it again.

About the ice trap, yes, the trigger is delayed. I’d like to have it adjusted as well. Just as Viper’s Nest having 3 targets only.

Pretty sure that’s a bug with all pets in general and not just certain ones. At least I’ve noticed it on quite a few different ones.

And yah, its really annoying and has sadly been in the game for quite some time, so its either a low-priority bug or just something they haven’t been able to figure out a fix for.

That pet F2 bug has been around for years. I first ran across it fighting Jormag in 2013, and have never figured out what exactly is causing it. It’s happened to me on lots of pets, not just the birds.

Swapping pets or switching to completely different pets doesn’t clear it. The only way I’ve found to clear it is to change zones, or logout the character.

I’m not sure what exactly causes chill bug but its initially triggered when the pet is chilled. This is only a visual bug however, it doesn’t effect the actual CD. for instance if my wolf has chill bug, the F2 could say its on like 7 more seconds of CD but when i press it the fear will go off and on CD (still chill timer). so it actually doesn’t effect anything but our minds

Maybe if it got posted in the bug forums where they look for bugs it could get found and fixed xD.

Has been, many times, and is currently in the Ranger Bugs thread there.
