Guild Wars 2

I havent seen this bug on the forum yet. So here we go:

When using the skill Chaos Armor, you always get the boon Protection as soon as you use the skill. The rest of the boons and conditions will be applied randomly as you get hit.

Now, if your chaos armor is applied to you from a skill combo (i.e chaos storm + face retreat), the following will happen:

1. protection is NOT applied as soon as you have chaos armor on you.
2. Protection is NEVER applied at all! When you get hit with Chaos Armor on you, you will never get the boon, only the other boons and conditions are applied.

Maybe (1) is intended, dont know. But it must be a major bug that protection is never applied when you get hit.

Because protection is the main reason chaos armor is worth anything, this is really a big problem (especially because I as a mesmer has been so stupid to choose Superior runes of the earth, which only makes sense if chaos armor from skill combos works).

Unless I remember wrong the protection is not part of the chaos armor boon, but is an additional effect on the Chaos Armor skill.

Well, if the combo is different from the staff skill, it should have another name.
Or else chaos armor /= chaos armor? Its rather illogical to have two forms of chaos armor.

I can to some extend understand that protection is not applied by deafault when chaos armor is applied. Maybe that would be OP.

But to not have it as a random boon when beeing hit? Why should chaos armor be handicapped. 1) its not logical and 2) it makes the effort of creating combos not worth it. Protection is vital to the use of chaos armor, imo.
