Hi,
For a long time there has been some problems with the Ele’s Lightening Flash cantrip. There are currently 2 that I can report, and both can be a game changer in a fight, especially in PvP : -

1) Getting stuck after Lightening Flash. Sometimes I will lightening flash during a fight, and will end up in the new location without being able to move. It is not because I am stunned – it never recovers. My ele will still turn and face the direction I am trying to run, and the graphics will change as if I’m trying to run (legs do not run though), but I will remain stuck there until either I do Burning Speed, RTL or Updraft, or until I die which is often the case because I cannot move.. ;-)

2) Lightening Flash showing a green target, which I thought meant the target was valid and will succeed, but then when I click nothing happens other than seeing a lightening flash. Again this can then cause me to die because I am usually using it tactically in a fight.

It is mainly the first bug I mention that causes a problem for me because you are literally a sitting duck. It seems to happen fairly often too. I can’t be sure but I think it happens when I’m about to be struck so I lightening Flash out of the way just in time, but as I said, I am definitely not stunned.

I think others may have reported this in the past, but I wanted to bring it up again as I think in the context of an Ele fight it is a pretty serious fight changing bug!

If it makes any difference: I play a female Sylvari d/d ele.

Thanks.
