Guild Wars 2

My best guess is it has to do with this..

“Most skills will now attempt to activate as soon and frequently as possible so long as their inputs are held down. This also applies to most ground-targeted skills when instant ground targeting is used”

I can consistently re-create this bug, it happens when you enter berserk mode on warrior and then proceed to cast the primal burst skill. If I hold down the skill for a split second too long it will bug out the burst skill, causing it to cast itself repeatedly even after a weapon swap, and certain skills are used.

Also I have had this bug after restarting the client and my PC. Also is anyone else noticing this? Noticed a distinct lack of mention of this bug on the forums.

Video of me recreating the bug,

EDIT- Ran a client repair, bug is still there.

up, i’ve the same problem pls fix it

I am so glad you figured this out. It was driving me crazy. I suppose when I double tab to create the skill priority, it was causing some issue. Basically emulates holding it down.

I just want to chime in and say:

This bug of the Warrior Burst skill (F1) going off by itself periodically happens on Vanilla-core Warrior too. (I never run Berserker, but I experience my burst skills firing by themselves periodically.)

I think with Vanilla the key is also what the OP said regarding holding the burst skill down too long. Or, in my case, perhaps it’s being triggered by me quickly and repeatedly hitting my F1 button when trying to get Earthshaker (Hammer F1) to fire. Something then goes wrong and the next burst skill is then queued up and activates by itself when it sees fit so it seems.

I have started noticing this as well. At first I thought it was my keyboard/mouse buttons being stuck and pressing themselves, but after a bit of testing and paying closer attention to when it happens, it appears to be a bug like you’ve concluded.

This bug, as well as the the two other very noticeable ones (Banner #5 skill not actually being an ability and Head Butt self stun breaking trait and rune triggers) are something that could really use some attention. I wish the known issues tracker would be updated to reflect if they’re being looked at, and if they’re not, then they should be.

Banner #5 skill still inert

Head Butt self stun breaks trait and rune triggers
