Guild Wars 2

Okay so if I remember correctly, these should not cost initiative but they do. Total of 3 initiative. No where on tooltip does it say this should happen. Strange because I didn’t notice it ocurring yesterday.

Can confirm. It only drains initiative while in combat (1 per dodge). Doesn’t seem like much, but when you are dodging 10+ times in a fight, it starts making a difference. Here’s hoping it’s just an oversight/bad code copied from death blossom or something.

Most/all of the Physical skills eat initiative (Fist Flurry takes one on each hit, etc.) Presumably this is a holdover from an old design where the utilities cost initiative. Pretty sloppy that it made live to be honest, but it should be gone next BWE.

A dev did respond saying the ini consumption on physical skills was a bug somewhere on the forum after the POI. Probably copy pasted the coding for imparing daggers to impaling lotus as well (@OreoWolf)
Just keep reporting in game whenever you see a bug.

Karl has already stated that i’s a bug and will be fixed.
