Guild Wars 2

I looked for an already made topic but couldn’t find one. I’m in HotM and the ranger skill Healing Spring still, randomly, isn’t triggering. The bug fixes from the patch says it’s fixed, but it’s not. This is easy to test for yourself.

I placed the trap ahead of time and it wouldn’t trigger when enemies walked right through it. I also placed it on top of them and it usually didn’t trigger. Sometimes you need to move the enemy off it and back on and then it’ll work.

Quick update. It can actually trigger even if an enemy has never even gone over it. It’s like it triggers based on the ranger’s actions, not the enemy’s. I’ll be editing this post with minor updates unless I find a breakthrough.

healing spring is not triggered by enemies iirc, because it is not a damage trap, but by you and your allies. it only triggers if you/allies have less than 100% health.

pretty sure it’s been like this since it was re-classified as a trap skill.

Well that’s confusing! That would explain why it seems to only trigger when I’m on it. The tooltip doesn’t explain that only allies can trigger it. Plus, it’s technically not a trap when it can’t be triggered by enemies! But that’s nitpicking. Thanks for explaining this. I really had no idea!

Confirmed this. Will only trigger if you or an ally is below 100% hp. If you’re at 100% and taken below while standing on the trap, it won’t trigger.
