Guild Wars 2

I am only finding this with the warrior class. Whenever I use a skill, for example the Greatsword Whirlwind Attack, the skill takes almost a full second to go into animation after I press down the skill #3 key.

It is not lag as I re-logged to thief and everything was much faster in response. It is not the map, I tried in wvw, LA, starter zone, etc.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Now that you mention it… yeah, Warrior as a whole seems to have a bit more delay than all the other classes. Played some Engi and Ele recently and they both seem to be much more responsive.

Exactly! So I’m not the only one

I am having the same problem. What the hell is going on?

Game is almost unplayable with this skill delay.

I also noticed this first when I was in the molten dungeon. And when I switched to necro there was no skill lag at all.

All the time I thought my internet was lagging, but now I only see this on my warrior.

I can’t tell you how many times i click my heal and it doesn’t pop. Maybe there is a small bug

Actually yes, noticing this quite a lot since the new patch. Various warrior skills are lagging quite badly.

you used any of the new skills/traits?
maybe there is a memory leak of some sort

I’ve noticed on my Warrior that just can not use any of the Rifle skills without them lagging

haha I thought it was just me. I don’t play other classes so I can’t compare, but yeah, I have to spam my skills now, or they won’t fire off, for some reason.

That.

Thought it was me :S It’s most noticable on Rifle and Hammer for me, especially hammer F1 skill.. takes like 1 second to hit it and sometimes it undershoots (doesnt reach target ring altho way in range) .

At least it’s not just me, that has noticed this. Was so bad last night that I thought it was my controller having issues so i changed the batteries, didn’t help though….

How do we get this moved to the Bug section?

I’m wondering if it has anything to do with a change to the skill queue system?

They buffed us so hard that they realised warrior needs input delay, nice. And i thought it’s my internet.

Warrior GS always had a noticeable delay right after the 2nd swing of the auto-attack chain. If you try to use any skills right after the 2nd swing, it will be delayed.

What these ^ guys said.

How do we get ANet’s attention about this ._.

Yeah, same for me. Fix it please ?

What an odd bug, my skills have been fine :S

ever since patch ive noticed this….its frustrating the living kitten out of me….i want a dev to acknowledge this or it looks like putting warrior back away again -_-

I’ve been experiencing this as well. Even weapon switching seems to lag which has been screwing with my attack choices.

I’ve also noticed that the overshoot on Bull’s Charge, Rush, and Shield Bash has gotten even worse. Many times tonight I’d see these attacks go wayyyy past the target. Sometimes missing altogether, sometimes hitting, but me being so far away that the target recovered from the stun by the time I got to him.

I thought I was getting this last night, but I think it just turned out to be server lag. I’m still not entirely noticing what you’re all talking about.

I got delay when i play Norn War but it’s fine with other race and same job.

I think partly the wind up animation until damage point is a bit longer on most warrior weapons

Yeah I have experienced strange lag as well.

Yep I also can confirm their is a delay. Tried on my thief and mes and no delay. It seems to be more noticeable with gs skills. I thought my warrior felt different after the patch. We are already kitten in so many ways this just really makes it million times worse. Please anet investigate this.

I’m tired of dying to relentless skill lag, this has been happening for a while, i first noticed lag of all kinds when culling went and over the passing weeks it has just got worse.

I don’t mean just in wvw it is in normal pve as well, skills just wont pop, jormag is a classic when i’m using banners and they just wont place.

I have over a 100Mb’s connection and running sli asus top 670’s

This for me is game breaking and in wvw is totally unacceptable and needs to be fixed asap.

Has anyone from A-net or the website replied to this yet ?

100% agree with this, warrior is the slowest class and the skill lag does not help.

when you select class it says warrior is trained in martial arts lol who the kitten came out with that lol someone didnt tell someone something lol.

Also getting weird skill lag

Something else I’ve been noticing: using Rush results in a Wiley E. Coyote character animation. That is, the character looks like he’s running for a second or two before he actually moves.
