Guild Wars 2

Healing surge gives adrenaline out of combat and it doesn’t go away. Easy way for people to gain adrenaline before a fight. Not working as intended.

Where did you test this? I just tried it in PvE(cursed shore) and it works as expected. After using Healing Surge my adrenaline was full then it immediately started draining at the usual out of combat rate. Same as using Signet of Fury.

Maybe you were in combat and didn’t realize it. Like from fall damage or something

I’ve had this happen in LA a few times when I accidentally used my signet of fury (after taking falling damage, my adrenaline then drained properly.)

Were you in a city when this happened?

had just got out of a dungeon run, loaded in cursed shore, no mobs around, nothing to hit me, no fall dmg, just didnt have my adrenaline go down

herhaps it has something to do with my traits? just logged in, pressed heal, adrenaline hasnt gone down

took off all my traits, left town to make sure it wasnt some in town bug, used skill, adrenaline never went down

Managed to replicate it but this only seems to work until you get into combat at least once. Then it behaves normally.

What Khisanth said. After I played with it, it does indeed work until you get into combat (both for Healing Surge and Signet of Fury); once you’re in combat, it goes back to normal.

Does that mean adrenaline will be empty when you enter combat? Or could it be abused to start a fight with full adrenaline? While not much of a problem in PvE, it would certainly uhm, not be liked as much by anyone who isn’t a Warrior in PvP or (even moreso) WvW.

It only works once per entry into an instance.
