Guild Wars 2

Using a warrior, when this trait (that makes you stable when hit with pull, knock down…) activates while gathering resources, it ruines anything gathered after the activation.
I checked it both with wood and ores.
Since one of the main reasons to use this trait is to make smoother resource gatherings in places like Orr, having it ruin anything you gather on activation seems as stupid as something can be. Probably an easy to fix bug though.
Oh, and also, the description of the trait doesn’t include the cooldown period, as it does with other traits or effects with activation.

I have had an issue where when harvesting, I will get attacked, enter combat, and draw my weapon, which causes my harvesting tools to fail to harvest nodes. This will result in ruined ore chunks and ruined logs, and has been around since forever. The problem is easiest to reproduce if you are out of combat, then get hit by an enemy while harvesting.

I know that a little while ago it was said that ruined ore/wood from harvesting was normal if you were in combat

We’re getting the correct amount of loot as you say, Dan, but we’re getting it ruined. What’s the point of using a skill that protects you from control skills to be able to harvest safely, if it’s ruining the materials as result?
I’ve heard about the issue before, but experiencing with Last Stand makes it 100% of ruined materials since activation, so it’s easy to spot.
