Guild Wars 2

If you are using staff as necro, if you go down while casting staff skill 2 (or just after casting it), and you press 2 before the skill bar of the downed state appears, it will trigger the downed state skill 2 (fear), but it won’t activate the effect and it will just put the skill on cooldown.

Here is a video of the bug:

This is something that happens to many classes, unfortunately. I’ve had a target low on health, hit heartseeker once on my thief, but get downed by aoe or something at the same time, and down skill 2 becomes on full cooldown. Noticed it with other classes as well. It is an issue that has existed for around a year now I believe. That is when I first remember seeing it happen.

I’ve wondered how often hs spamming thieves get hit by it lol.
