Guild Wars 2

This bug is so pis_sing me off.

• SOMETIMES, when you are running and use the “ride the lighting” skill, the character stops completely and is immobilized for approximately 2-3 seconds.

This bug needs to be fixed asap because on wvw when i try to get away from an attacker and I use this skill, it immobilizes me at the end of the casting and the attacker can easily over pass me since it is a 2-3 second immobilization.

I press and press the upward, side movement buttons but the character just stays there sitting like a duck.

How to reproduce this bug:

• Make sure you have auto target off in the options menu.
• Make sure you are not targeting anything and make sure that the skill will not target a nearby enemy.
• Press the auto run key, so that your character is auto running.
• Use the “ride the lighting” skill, and wait for the glitch to happen.
• The glitch does not occur in a 100% basis, be patient and keep trying it will eventually happen.
• The character, which was in auto run, will stop at the end of the spell. If you try to move by pressing the upward motion key it wont move. If you press the key more times it will eventually move. However, this “immobilization” takes about 1 -2 seconds which means that in a WvW your attackers are 1-2 head of you instead of me being 1-2 seconds ahead of them.
  A really annoying glitch on wvw and pvp that puts in disadvantage to elementalists.

Any word from the developers? On the last patch you guys did not fix it.

Had this other day in spvp, used rtl to hit enemy, fell down into water near where 3 recap point is, was stuck solid in the water, had to ask enemy to kill me..
This bug has been in game for months, wouldn`t hold your breathe waiting for a fix.

This has been reported in-game and on the forum for a long time. Also sometimes it just stops (fx when you are auto-running or have the move-forward key pressed) then the skill causes you to stop running. You have to press the movement key TWICE in order to resume moving, negating what you tried to achieve (getting away / move faster).

I think I experienced that in pve, too.
But in general my little asura ele lately has some weird skill issues which negatively affect her movement.
