Guild Wars 2

From time to time when I use Withdraw I get no healing. This isn’t often or reliably repeatable for me. I figured for a while maybe I was getting hit by damage and just didn’t notice. But there are times when there is no incoming damage for sure.

I have spectated some fights and seen this anomally happen to others using this skill.

Is this a bug? Does this happen to anyone else? Is it some sort of lag issue?

Check the combat log to be sure. If you have Poison and take a hit right as you use withdraw it can look like it did nothing.

It happens on every profession. Sometimes skills just fail to activate properly. The failure is just way more noticeable when it’s a heal, invulnerability, gap opener, etc.

I doubt this, I’ve never had any skill except a port fail for me. If you have evidence with substance like stream vods though submit bug reports for those skills so they can be fixed.

Agony can prevent healing.
