Hello Anet

Id like to report a bug with the trait Pure of Voice for guardians, the trait description says it will remove a condition from people affected by any shout and replace it with the opposite boon. The trait does not work properly with 2 of the 4 shouts guardians have.

Retreat! works correctly, removes a condition and gives you the boon.

Hold the line! does not work correctly, Sometimes it will fail to remove the condition, and I say sometimes because i have not found a way to reproduce the issue exactly, like it will remove the condition like 50% of the time, and it will not give you the opposite boon.

Stand your ground! does work correctly.

Save yourselves! does not work either, same case as hold the line!, will not remove the condition randomly, and it will not give you the boon added to the duration the shout itself gives you. Here is the thing with this shout, since it transfers conditions form allies to you, is it supposed to remove a condition from them and give them the boon, then transfer the remaining conditions to the caster?, or it will transfer them all first and convert later?, whats the deal.

I’ve noticed this bug too. Sometimes shouts will remove conditions and sometimes I have to use more than 1 to remove it.

This really is a pain when it’s a major advantage to a shout build. Still waiting for it to be fixed…

It’s sad that after so long they still haven’t acknowledged all these bugs that make a lot of builds useless due to them.
One has to wonder if they are even reading more than one threat per month.
Add this to Guardians forum as well, more chances to be noticed.

Yeah recently tested “Save Yourselves” and “Hold the Line” shouts with Pure of Voice. It is still bugged sadly…

I recently tested all shouts with and without an ally next to me and the shouts “Save Yourselves” and “Hold the Line” shouts are bugged.

Sometimes they will remove a condition and sometimes not,also they will never give any boon. “Save yourselves” shout transfers conditions from allies to you but does not remove either yours or your allies conditions,so lets say you had a 3 stack of vurnerability and your ally had the same condition as well,you will end up with a 6 stack of vurnerability.

Please fix this, it’s one of our core builds and it’s bugged.

One of our most important builds that includes Shouts has been bugged since the game was first released and up to this date the devs have not noticed it.
Please fix this, it is game breaking for PvP when they do not work…

Problem:

• Shout “Hold the Line!” is bugged with the trait Pure of Voice.
  Sometimes it will remove a condition and sometimes not, both on yourself and on your allies. Also it will never give you or your allies the opposite boon.

• Shout “Save Yourselves!” is bugged with the trait Pure of Voice.
  Sometimes it will remove a condition and sometimes not, both on yourself and on your allies. Also it will never give you or your allies the opposite boon.

The shout will transfer from your allies to you, all their conditions but nothing will be removed. For instance lets say you have 3 stacks of vurnerability and a burning condition and your nearby ally has 3 stacks of vurnerability and a poison condition, you will end up with 6 stacks of vurnerability, a poison and a burning condition.

The rest of the shouts “Retreat!” and “Stand your ground!” work properly both on yourself and your allies.

The tests were made with:

• 0/0/0/30/0 only the Pure of Voice trait selected and
• A normal 0/5/30/30/5 build with Pure Voice selected among other traits.
• The tests were both done with allies nearby and without any allies nearby.
• The tests were both done in the Heart of the Mists with the Practice NPCs and in a PvP map against players that helped with the tests.
• The tests were done with and without any runes/sigils.

Is this getting fixed? It’s one of our core traits for PvP and it’s still bugged.

Is this going to be addressed? Since the beginning of the game this trait is bugged. Please fix it,it is one of our core traits for PvP
