Guild Wars 2

Can’t heal. That’s it. Using a healing skill does nothing, regen does nothing, water fields do nothing. It’s that bad.

Edit b/c it did it again. More info below. Seems like it just wants to turn itself on after getting hit by an agony strike. Can’t heal any time after agony hits.

Looks like thief.

Could it be latency issues? I’ve had similar experiences when I’m lagging badly, though it doesn’t happen often.

Some guildmates and I ran into this bug a few days ago and submitted bug reports about it, but it’s worth reposting here. We were doing the Cliffside Fractal and were at the boss. During the fight, multiple of us used our heals. They completely executed and went on cooldown, but none of use that healed around that time actually recovered any health. By the next time our heals were available, everything seemed to be back to normal. I haven’t run into this problem since then, but it was very worrisome. I was on a Mesmer, and a Guardian and Engineer, at the very least, were also affected. I was using Ether Feast with 3 Illusions up.

I was using withdraw. I exited the game and re-logged back in and it fixed it. Found out mid boss fight in swamp fractal.

Next time if you’re going to make a thread about game breaking bugs, you should give some details. No one can help you without details.

It happened again. I was in the dredge fractal this time fighting the ice ele. It was working the entire time and then it just stopped… I am using withdraw but like I said before, any healing from water fields or regen also didn’t apply. Going down cleared it.

This happened to a mesmer in my group a few days ago, too. We were fighting the ice elemental at the end of the dredge fractal, and he couldn’t regain health from his self heal or any group heals used on him. Maybe something’s wonky with agony? He didn’t have agony on him while the bug was happening, but maybe it hit him earlier and the healing reduction effect somehow stacked up and lingered.

Good point, I didn’t think about that.

When it happened to me, I got hit by mossman axe the 1st time and couldn’t heal. The 2nd time I got hit by 1 tick of ice ele aoe and couldn’t heal up after the agony stopped ticking either.

Maybe it’s linked to the Water Runes #6 effect not working …

Seems like the common theme is Fractals, thus far. The agony theory seems like a decent place to start.

The lack of healing during res and related to agony was pointed at least twice in the last month, but those threads got buried in the neverending tide of bugs that Arenanet implements with each patch.
Maybe someone can rescue those threads, there was a lot more info in them.

Cast skills break if you have an autoattack. See ele shatterstone and focus Flamewall, and probably a lot of others.

bumping once so the devs get to see that it’s most likely agony causing this skill to bug
