Guild Wars 2

So pretty much when i hit staff 5 i cant use steal when it is going off. With a tell as big as it has anyone with half a brain would dodge so they only real way to land it is to hit steal in the middle of it. Its really annoying so if you could fix this i would love you forever.

After testing this, I’ve found that it only works when you have action cam disabled, and only if you targeted the vault near enough to your target.

But the thing about playing staff is that you have to bait dodges/ blocks to land vaults. It balances out the spammability and high damage of Vault.

You can also precast Weakening Charge instead of Vault for largely the same result, so i don’t think it’s that big of a deal (but would welcome a fix anyway).

It’s not a glitch. You can’t use teleports (Or any instant skills) during a jump skill.

Vault is a jump.

Bound is jump skill also but you can use steal with it ,so yeah it’s a bug and it need to be fixed.

@alchemyst Heartseeker is also a jump and you can steal with it.

The point is that its just not intended to guarantee land Vault with the help of steal or infiltrators signet. (too much damage)

- I recommend using vault when you lock someone up with stun/knockdown/immob or when you know they used their dodges already.

- Other than that give Weakening Charge (#2) + Steal a try, it hits like a truck and is the better burst option.
(fyi using steal with weakening charge stops the animation and makes you hit all consecutive hits + having weakness on the opponent is active damage mitigation)

hope that helped.

Nah, I’m almost certain it’s a bug. A lot of elite skills are buggy. Tempest gets line of sight errors when trying to cast behind itself (red text on the screen, instead of just turning around, like every other skill would do)

Nope not a glitch. This has been known since the game first started. You could use Heartseeker + Steal to teleport thus having a 1300 range Heartseeker. If they “fix” this, I’m done with GW2.

You can use Steal during a Vault to move the damage, but you have to time it in the small window where Vault is interruptible at the end of the animation. Here’s a video of me doing it: https://youtu.be/C4qY-8aFhjg.

It’s because of the restrictions of Ground-Targetted skills.
It’s a known issue as it has been raised often enough during the HoT Beta’s.
However, it can’t apparently be fixed without significant work on the engine, so chances of this happening are very slim.

Pretty much: It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Bound is not a jump skill. It’s the animation. It doesn’t literally put your character in the air.

@alchemyst Heartseeker is also a jump and you can steal with it.

Again, heartseeker’s animation just looks like a jump but it’s just the animation. Try leaping across a gap with it. Same with bound.

Vault has an evade for a reason. It’s best used reactively.
