The bug causing 100 blades and other skills to end prematurely while under the affects of quickness is also caused by superior signet of rage procs… If I get a critical hit on my first swing of 100 blades an it procs the quickness buff, I have to move to stop 100 animation in order to enjoy the affects of the buff (which is silly considering 100 blades is THE ability you want to use while under the affects of quickness)
So, are banners only supposed to affect 5 people around the banner? it was not that way before, however last night all I saw was a pathetic handful of people gaining the bonuses from my banner.
If this is intentional, joy, my banner warrior is useless in larger scale fights.
I made a mistake with my post earlier in this thread. Upon further testing I found the stability from battle standard is correctly lengthened by +% boon duration.

I can confirm this. Getting quickness from any source while using 100 blades does not speed it up and shortens its length as usual (Superior Sigil of Rage, Discipline – Last Chance: Gain quickness when an enemies is hit below 25% health).
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned (I didn’t see it on the list), but in the Fear Me! tooltip, the ranges that determine fear duration are measured in feet, but every other ability in the game is in arbitrary “range” units. My guess is that 1 foot = 20 range, but it would be much easier to understand if the tooltip were put in line with the rest of the game.

Tactic trait Inspiring Banners does not apply the cool down reduction while underwater. Banners have a 120 sec cool down while underwater instead of the 96 sec cool down on land.

Guild missions say otherwise.
Flurry & Whirling Axe seem to be bugged for Asura. I always wondered why Adren lvl 3 Flurry never did its 12x Hits (4 numbers pop up), figured it was just designed that way.
Same thing goes for Whirling Axe, 5 numbers/hits pop up but the attack says 15×.
So the other day, did the quest in the Sylvari starting zone where you get turned into a Sylvari and low and behold Whirling Axe and Flurry both did the correct amount of damage/hits when I had been transformed. As soon as I was back into my normal Asura body, it was back to the bugged amount – Any other Asura experience this?
I’m not sure if this is intentional or not, but under the effects of ‘quickness’, savage leap only goes half the normal distance aswell as shield stance’s duration is cut in half (may apply to other blocking skills)
Frenzy: If used after you start channeling Hundred Blades or Volley, it will shorten the cast time but not speed up the animation, causing you to lose some hits/shots. Works fine the other way around (Frenzy and then HB/Volley).
Along the same token, if you use HB when you have only 1 sec (or just any small amount) of quickness left, the skill’s animation will be fast but the last couple of slashes will not do any damage (because the quickness buff ran out before the channeling is done). Same with Volley.
Vengeance: If you die before the timer is up and respawn quickly at a waypoint, the buff will still be active. Shortly after spawning the 15 seconds are up and you are killed on the spot.
Vengeance: If a mob turns friendly when it loses all its health (quest mobs, skill challenge, etc), it doesn’t count as “killing it” for Vengeance, causing you to die even if you “kill” it."
Please add that I had an experience just yesterday where the npc’s didn’t turn friendly, I killed them before dying, yet vengeance still killed me anyway a few seconds later after killing the mob. I’m saying this to say, friendly or not, it’s bugged whether you kill them all first or not, you die either way. It’s definitely a no win situation.
Vengeance on its own only has a chance to keep you alive once you kill a mob. Sweet Revenge (trait) increases this chance to 100%. Except, of course, that the trait is bugged and for whatever reason doesn’t do this properly. The 100% chance not working is listed under the Sweet Revenge bugs.
I’ll be doing a bit update tomorrow night once the patch goes live and we can fully test the “fixes” contained in it
Tactic trait Inspiring Banners does not apply the cool down reduction while underwater. Banners have a 120 sec cool down while underwater instead of the 96 sec cool down on land.
Anyone else able to verify this? Just tried all 5 banners and they all go on 96s cooldown underwater.
Besides that, thread updated. Please tell me if I missed anything.
I did i quick read nothing directly pointing to this.
Procing Sigil of Intelligence does NOT grant the 100% crit chance to Kill Shot. The Icon informing you the next attack will crit is there and is “consumed” after the burst skill lands, but the crit chance isn’t 100%. Not sure if this only applies to Kill Shot or all burst skills.
Intelligence sigil testing: Steady Weapons vs Light Golem.
Greatsword: Fine
Axe: Fine
Longbow: Bugged (there’s a hidden pulse of damage not listed on the tooltip and it didn’t crit. I’ll add the tooltip bug to the list too.
Hammer: Fine
Mace: Fine
Rifle: Fine (tested 3 times with only 4% base crit chance)
Sword: Bugged
This seems to be an obvious bug because Triple Chop is an Axe-1 skill meant to be used with Auto Attack.
The Axe-1 damage is greatly reduced because the channelling is always being interrupted.
Thank you!
Edit:
It always had a cast time (with a cast bar – the short one), but it was not channeled (with a channeling bar – the tall one).
All other skills that are not instant (shouts) now interrupt it.
This is extremely annoying; thanks for pointing it out and getting it on the list so quickly.
Hopefully ANet notices and gets a quick fix in for this; otherwise, it may be time to spend a bit of time experimenting with with Sword or Mace main hand.
Discipline – Inspiring Shouts: Doesn’t grant you adrenaline if shouts are used too quickly after emptying your adrenaline bar by using a burst skill.
you literally have to wait for the “animation to play” and only after it’s done you gain adrenaline by using a shout. incredibly annoying, is this by design? i guess if it is, it’d fall under the “quality of life” category.
Adrenaline gain is completely turned off during the burst animation to (I’m assuming) prevent the burst skill from generating adrenaline. Flurry would give you one bar back straight away. I’ll add it to the bug list as something needs to give way,

oh, when i said “animation” i wasn’t talking about the skill’s animation. i meant the animation that empties your adrenaline bar, that’s why i put it in airquotes. if i remember correctly, this still goes on for a bit after your burst skill animation is done.
oops. forums being buggy and not let me edit posts at the moment – I’ll amend it when it fixes and I’ve had time to fully test it myself.
edit: just tried with eviscerate and I’m unable to replicate it – I’ve tried shouting at various stages and it gives adrenaline as it should. Doing it before the hit actually lands causes the added adrenaline to be consumed (tested by bursting with 1 bar and shouting before the hit landed) which is correct, as adrenaline is only consumed if it hits.
Are you sure you weren’t activating the shout right before the hit landed, thus causing it to add to the current adrenaline which is then duly removed when the attack hits the opponent?

hm, if this is the case, then earthshaker has a really long casting time after the animation and sound effect played and you hit the target. i’m gonna upload a short video and edit this post with a link to it.
the problem there is within the game mechanics itself. It’s the same for kill shot (or any other burst). You gotta actually wait for the adrenaline to empty before using the shouts. There is a lag where the adrenaline is not emptying right after the skill connects. Who knows, maybe ANet would fix something like this or not.

Flurry on my Asura warrior doesn’t hit all 8 times.
It will do damage for the first three swings, no damage for the next 4 – doesn’t say “miss” but doesn’t do damage either – and then damage for the final hit.
I believe this is Asura related/hitbox related. When I use potion of Ascalon Mages to transform and then use flurry, I get damage for all 8 hits.
Bulls charge started right next to a target will do the charging animation as if traveling to the target although you are already next to it. The resulting hit comes after the charge channel which is a max of like 1.5 seconds I think. Whatever the amount of time it takes to cover the range of the skill.

that’s what i mentioned about eviscerate and shild bash. it is giving those skills just an unnecessary ~1sec extra casttime…
Short Temper does not appear to give more than 3 stacks of might no matter how many attacks are blocked. In addition, the might that it gives is not affected by the duration increases from runes that increase boon duration.
Recently against underwater mobs, while in the middle of DPSing with a spear, I’ll get “Invulnerable” messages. If I’m alone, the mob resets, several seconds pass, and then I can hit it again. I unfortunately have no idea right now as to what is causing it, but I do know it doesn’t have anything to do with me pushing the mob through a rock or anything, as it has happened in the middle of open water.
Has anyone else experienced this? It’s been a recent occurrence, and might have something to do with Tsunami Slash.

“He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”
Does ONLY work while OUT of combat. Does NOT stack with swiftness. Don’t know if this is a bug or intended. But at the current state it’s entirely useless.
Imo it should stack with swiftness. At least it should work while in combat!
Annoyance: Mace 2 and Sword 5 block abilities have me accidentally hitting key twice and I cancel the block. Just remove the cancel effect please. I can hit 1 and Have autoattack cancel and gain adrenaline if I wish. Furthermore this seems like a really awkard strategy to build up adrenaline pre-fight.
Horn: Ability 5 seems to sometimes have less than 1200 range in SPVP. The guy seems well within range, but I see no weakness condition applied.
Sword 3 Hamstring: Very hard to land in PVP. I suggest making it autoface the enemy target, just like the way eviscerate or axe throw does. Or give it a wider angle.
sometimes like when fitting an ettin you can push them outside of auto attack range, or they move outside of the auto attack range with a greatsword. they also can walk outside the auto attack range. you can still click the attack icon and it still hits them, but for the most part the auto attack stops.
Signet of Rage (Elite) interferes with certain abilities.
Example: I press 4 and then 0 very quickly within half a second. Despite pressing 4 first, signet of rage is activated and also INTERRUPTS horn 4 ability putting it on a interrupt cooldown. It also interrupts sword 3.
Arms – Oppotunist: Doesn’t work with Geomancy sigils.
Opportunist is a major trait to gain Fury when immobilizing the target. Geomancy sigils cause aoe Bleed when swapping weapons. Why are they expected to work together? Was the intention to refer to the Attack of Opportunity minor trait (increased damage to bleeding foes) or perhaps Deep Cuts (increased bleed duration)?
Discipline – Brawn: Increases burst damage by 0.1% per point (to a max of 3%). Should this be 1% per point?
This was an intentional change towards the end of beta. Basically a stopgap measure to lower the burst damage being thrown around while not nerfing the damage of defensive and supportive builds. Though I’d like to see this pitiful “special warrior stat” removed and later replaced with something different and significant.
Tactics – Empower Allies: Only applies when you are hit.
This isn’t quite correct. The trait buff shows up when I hit a target golem without getting hit in return. I believe it is just tied to being in combat and appears with some delay. Of course this often means you miss out on the power buff for your initial attacks and so do all your allies until YOU get combat flagged.
I had some trouble with the dodge animation seemingly cancelled out mid-roll and getting me hit. I’ve seem to have the culprit which is also described in the bug reported to delay hundred blades.
It would seem the greatsword skill #1 chain #2 has a very unlucky interaction with basically any other skill. I’ve been able to repeatedly delay most other warrior skills when activating them right at the end of the greatsword slice cast.
tldr: The greatsword skill #1 chain #2 cancels dodge-rolls and delays the activation of all/most abilities not only Hundred Blades.
Edit: I can confirm the same issue with Axe skill #1 chain #1 and sword skill #1 chain #2 cancelling dodge and delaying activation if used at the end of the cast. I encourage others to try out other weapons and on different classes even. I recall hearing my Thief buddy complaining about cancelled dodge-rolls as well.
Note1: It might not be the ending of the cast causing the issue, but rather the activation of the next ability in the queue messing it up and causing the delay/cancellation.
note2: I’ve only been able to produce the dodge-roll with auto-attack toggled on whereas the skill-delay is consistent at the end of the cast regardless of auto-cast.
