Guild Wars 2

Met a warrior in SPvP that had constant haste on. It allowed him to take down almost anyone within 1-2sec.

Are there any known exploits that allow for this to happen? Or was he just extremely lucky with his haste procs 100% of the times?

And no I’m not crying cuz we lost or anything, we won each match we played against the team with him in. It’s just that how fast he was hitting and how fast his whirls finished (around 0.5sec) seems a bit strange to me.

Hello.

I strongly believe it is a bug/exploit that he randomly stumbled across.

I was randomly killing monsters when I activated Haste (skill on my thief) and it seems to last forever, after killing 5 other monsters. There was no icon depicting the presence of haste after its initial 4 seconds duration.

After killing 5, and coming on and typed all these, I went back and attacked another creature. Realised the haste effect has disappeared. Hence I do not know how to initiate the exploit. Just posting here to alert the development team regarding the exploit.

Usual duration is 4 seconds, with 60 seconds cooldown.

Subsequent attempts to find out the cause of the glitch were unsuccessful.

Fyi, when I initiated haste, I was knocked down by Ice Wyrm in Dredgehaunt Cliffs while my haste was still activated. After which, I experienced the ‘endless’ haste for 5 creatures before I realised the presence of the glitch/exploit/bug.

Info about my character at that point of time:
Level 65 scaled down to 49 in Dredgehaunt Cliffs map.
Fought an ice wyrm, started fight with Cloak and Dagger followed by backstab.
Activated haste and was knocked down after ~2 seconds.
Haste seems to last infinitely, but ended when I spent 5 to 8 minutes reading online on bug reports and typing this post.

Total number of creatures killed with exploit:
5-7 I don’t remember. (including the Ice Wyrm that gave me that exploit)
Realised the presence of exploit/glitch at 5th monster.

Would like to add that I have the trait Critical Haste. 10% chance to get quickness (2s) on a critical hit (30s cooldown).

It might also be that quickness was immediately activated so many times in a row on my first hit, which is slightly unlikely. Those creatures I killed were some travel time away from one another.

Saw my first two thief today using the haste exploit in WvW. It seems that it becomes more common. One of them was using a pistol, and could easily stack almost 10 stacks of constant bleeding. The other almost instantly ‘exploded’ when he used Daggerstorm within reaction.

We certainly need a Report: Exploit/Hack option for player reports.
