Guild Wars 2

Seems to happen especially in fractals and dungeons more so than open world (though it happens quite often in HoT maps too), my mesmer will get stuck in combat. I don’t mean that some mob tagged me or that I accidentally hit them, I mean I will kill some mobs and go somewhere else and it may take 3 or 4 minutes before my health comes back and my walking speed goes back to normal. Sometimes its even worse and I have to go out and find more mobs to kill and finish them off before my character goes out of combat. It happens all the time and I don’t know why. I don’t have illusions out when this happens, I’m not using skills that could hit a mob, and I don’t get hit by anything but my character stays in combat and its incredibly annoying.

Does anyone else have this problem and/or a way to address it?

Yes, that has happened to me on several occasions. I am not in combat, but my weapons are drawn and I cannot change skills or map travel. I have to kill a mob to break the cycle usually.

I frequently get the same thing while exploring the open world. I’ll dodge past mobs, get the “evade” text and find my movement reduced to combat speed anyway. No clone generation, no damage taken.

Sometimes the same thing happens when I blink or my Signet of Inspiration goes off and feeds me a Might instead of swiftness. Instant reduction to base combat speed even when I haven’t agro’d anything.

Every other class, not an issue. I can block and evade on my Guardian, lightning flash with my Elementalist and death’s charge on my Reaper without getting thrown into combat speed. But the Mesmer? Completely unreliable. Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn’t.

I have this problem regularly. Is annoying. Usually I try to find some trash to kill, but for someone who’s a Chronomancer, it’s rather time wasting.

This happened to my Chrono last night, in fact. Had to seek out a mob to kill.
