Guild Wars 2

Fast-Acting Elixirs, Potent Elixirs, HGH all those affects “Elixir” trait skills, howewer they do not work for Elixir gun skills with “Elixir” trait and Elixir X. It seams that not all skills with “Elixir” trait in tooltip are elixirs. You can see complete list of elixir skills on gw2 wiki http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elixir
Also i am playing hard with elixir build, can you post info about repairing this issue after confirming it ?

this is still going on three weeks later not only that but riffled barrels trait is affecting condition duration with the elixir gun. it would be nice if the elixir gun could be fixed.

I recorded all the particular bugs associated with using the Rifled Barrels trait with the Elixir Gun in another thread in here. Would you believe that that bug has existed for at least two months?

The worst part about it is that it cuts my Bleed duration down by one second, which is unacceptable if you’re an Engineer laying down heavy Condition Damage and use Tranquilizer Darts to stack Bleeds instead of Explosive Shot.

I pretty much had to stop using Rifled Barrels because of that. I miss my range…

I know Rifled Barrels was for sure, working during the Halloween event at least, for the elixir gun. I used the extra range to pull mobs, to help clear before taking on the Mad King. Must have broken between then and now, if it’s not working now.

I noticed Engi Elixir Gun is all messed up as well.

It’s still working, in that it still appropriately increases your attack range. It just does a variety of other stuff to the Elixir Gun’s abilities, such as cooldown changes, condition duration changes, and erroneous tooltip changes.

On topic, I did think that it was strange that the Elixir traits didn’t either work with specific “Elixir”-labeled abilities or clarify that they only work with certain “Elixir” abilities. Though if the latter occurs, then what’s the point of labeling those unaffected abilities “Elixir”?

I can see why it works this way though, to an extent. Even though the traits say they affect “Elixirs”, they only affect Healing and Utility Elixir abilities. Fast-Acting Elixirs, for instance, doesn’t work on anything but these, because Elixir Gun skills have their own cooldown reduction traits, as do Tool Belt skills, and Elites have their own unique traits.

The problem is, I can’t remember if Potent Elixirs works for Toolbelt skills, but I know for sure that HGH and Cleaning Formula 409 do. Likewise I don’t know if any of these traits work for Elixir X, and I know that NONE of them work for Elixir Gun skills, OR the Elixir Gun’s Tool Belt skill (which is also an “Elixir” skill).

So even if the point is to only have particular “Elixir”-type skills be affected by these traits, it’s hard to guess which ones actually will be affected.

Engineer trait line Firearms, the Riffled Barrels trait when selected lessens the healing amount to the Super Elixir skill.
