Guild Wars 2

Currently you can activate the rousing resilience passive effect by just using balanced stance,don’t even have to be in combat mode either and theres no need to break out of cc first.

I believe that was intended.

It was certainly the case as far back as when Rousing Resilience was first introduced. I don’t recall if it was ever patched, but it was certainly brought up a bunch.

If it was patched, I guess it’s been reverted. But I don’t actually think they changed it to follow the tool tip.

Its been like that forever (well since rousing resilience was released) and as mentioned above it has been brought up on the forums multiple times. ANET either intends this functionality or doesn’t care to fix.

That’s strange..i havent used balanced stance in ages coupled with rousing so i just noticed it now.Nothing gamebreaking or anything its just weird if they intend it to happen only on balanced stance,don’t see the reason behind it really.Tooltip also says rousing should only activate when breaking out of a cc.

The tooltip is what’s strange here. I personally recall them clarifying that balanced stance would always activate RR even when not breaking a stun was intended as a buff to both the skill and the trait. They were both quite weak once upon a time.

You not noticing is also quite natural, as you would often use Balanced Stance to break out of a stun in the first place. The Last Stand trait only activates when stunned so that obviously always procs RR too.

You may find Anet’s statements about this in the release notes somewhere.

Guess i should have checked wiki first.

Using Balanced Stance while this is equipped will grant bonus-toughness whether a stun is broken or not.

Still think it’s weird but whatever,not a bug then so..End thread.

Tooltips are often not accurate.
Same as warbanner. Tooltip of warbanner

“Place a battle standard that revives fallen allies and grants fury, might, and swiftness to allies”

But that isnt correct, when the fallen allies has poison on them they cant be revived.
People that don’t know that think there banner isnt working, /bugreport for nothing.

That’s almost correct. They can be revived with poison on them, but the ‘heal’ from the battle standard will get the poison reduction. Still, if the downed person’s HP is high enough (for instance, from a person already trying to res), the standard still revives.
