Guild Wars 2

I am not going to straight assume that this is a bug, but I am more and more leaning towards it because I can’t find any reasonable explanation.

Sometimes my endure pain is doing nothing or only on half its duration.
I understand that there are some spells/skills that go right through endure pain, or like in this case the “Leech” effect from the sigil as you can see below. (which I dont understand btw, bug?)

However I often notice that my endure pain vanishes way to quickly or does not react at all. In the example posted you can see the end of a combat log from a few minutes ago.
My whirlwind attack shows this was a fast going combat with lots of stuff hitting me. 5-6 people on me at that time. It was a desperate try to get out of that, thus I popped endure pain. Only to make it work for a split second and not 4s like it should have been up.

Is there a way to remove endure pain? I assume its not a classical boon thus not affected by boon removal.
Endure pain mostly seems to bug out when my Hp is already below 20%, above that I never saw it fail.

Also, can you please list skills that go through invulnerablitiy. I remeber some thief ability, but I forgot what it was called.

Edit: Before you ask, it was no conditions damage. I know its not displayed but I am pretty sure this was not the case.

Reckless dodge seems to work less than 20% of the time, charges/rush only work under very specific lag conditions, but don’t worry they made adreniline decay faster.

Huh, so it isn’t just my imagination that Endure Pain sometimes feels like it doesn’t do anything Good to know not to count on it.

to be honest it never happened to me, is this something you notice often? did it start after patch or did you have it before? could it be that it was lag related?

I’ve recently learned that retaliation was going through Endure Pain. This can be significant: rushing through GvG-like guild zergs with the Whirling Axe (so hitting lots of targets), I’d lose about half of my HP to retaliation only. People have recommended that I use Defiant Stance if I wanted true invulnerability (but it’s even got a shorted duration!).

Also all health steal aka leching skills work trooh endure pain so when there is venom share thief endure pain is pretty much usless 1 stack of venom leeches for 300 shared to 5 its 1500 dmg venom share thief can put out around 16 stacks so its around 23k dmg as health steal.

And don’t expect the dev to fix it because you will be disappointed too many skill bugs but instead of fixing they choose to nerf nerf every class oh bug let’s nerf the class

Oh I am familiar with minor bugs that don’t seem to get much attention. Used Rush-ing past targets and occasionally Whirlwhind-ing in random directions since launch :P

It can be a lag issue.
With dodge i can be hit in the middle of a dodge. With an immobilise I can see the chains moving with the dodging and I end up immobilised at the end of my dodge. It happens very rarely.
An other option is that an action is already going on so your action gets qeued. For example riposte of the warrior can get qeued after an auto attack, delaying it with about 1 additional second in worst case.

do you run the passive endure pain in the defense tree (i think?) aswell? they cancel each other out.
