Guild Wars 2

The Engineer Grenade Kit cast time is too long when compared to the tool tip.
I’m not sure if this has always been the case but I only now noticed it.

The tooltip says the grenade cast time should be 1/2 second. But it’s 1 second from the bar appearing to being full. I tested this over the course of a few hours by starting timer for 2 minutes and throwing as many of each grenade type as I could.

In order to confirm that it wasn’t just latency on my part I had some guidmates perform the same test on different ISPs located in different areas of the US in low population areas of the game. We all experienced 1 second cast times on grenades.

I was never able to throw more than 1 per second.

Is the cast time wrong or is the tooltip?

Thanks!

P.S. If I can get OBS working I’ll do the same tests tonight in video so I can record the actual cast times and upload to youtube attaching to this thread.

I’ve just managed to record me throwing grenades for 2 minutes.

The video shows that grenades have an activation time of 1 second, not 1/2 second.

Please fix the skill to match the tooltip, or fix the tooltip so it matches the skill.

Note: the youtube video is still uploading. It should be finished uploading in 10 minutes from the time of this post.
