Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is already on the radar, but i discovered that i can use my headbutt stunbreak without getting it on cooldown.

I wanted to stow headbutt to bait dodges, but i discovered i couldnt stow it, but when i use headbutt plus a quick weaponswap it leaps but doesnt stun, and also doesnt go on cooldown. this in it self isnt really big problem but it turns out i can stunbreak with headbutt aswell using the same technique and not getting the full cooldown of the skill.

I think this needs to be fixed asap

Hmm I didn’t realize you could do this in order to stun break. This indeed should be fixed then. However I am afraid we will lose alot of play with Headbutt then.
- it can be used for extra mobility when swapped in casting
- You can intterrupt headbutts yourself to lure out dodges and defensive skills from the enemy

When arenanet fixes this, I’m afraid these will also get destroyed.

yea i am afraid its the case, those were the reasons i used it, but i couldnt let the exploit go unnoticed since i encountered someone who used it against me aswell

I completely understand I didn’t think of using this for stunbreaks. Should be fixed indeed

Oh great, we’ll never be wanting for stun breaks on warrior now. Such a welcomed change

XD

nope, the skill is totally fine.

If it’s bugged they should fix it. They should also fix the bug with berserk mode, sometimes when you enter berserk and activate your primal in quick succession or at same time, yuor primal will go on cooldown without casting. I think the bug is caused by same sort of thing. Also, you can exploit this was well by quick weapon swaping, basically you can enter berserk, swap weaponas and activate your primals as the same time, and it will cast bboth primals at almost the exact same time, but one of them will be off cooldown. it’s hard as hell to pull off, but i have done the following in a 1v1

Berserk+Scorched Earth+Swap+Flaming Flurry>Flaming Flurry.

Keep in mind the “+” means doing all that at the same exact time. the “>” means do it after

EDIT: Never mind they fixed it, just went into game to make a video and I could not do it anymore you can still make scorched earth go on cooldown without casting though it’s rare.*

Interrupted goes for 4cd which is kind of funny as it is a stunbreak. All stunbreaks ingame goes on full cd and in case of stunbreaks with cast animation you do not gain any effect. Example is Dh f3, if cast is interrupted you do not gain block wall but it still goes on full cd. Thats how should headbutt work as well, if interrupted tough luck.
