Ice elemental audio glitch
bumping for visibility since it’s an old issue returned or possibly never fixed at all.
Added to the bugs list on this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Updated-Ele-Bugs-as-of-8-13-2015-patch/
Out of curiosity, does this bug affect both Glyph of Lesser Elementals as well as the elite Glyph?
I remember reporting this some time ago, but i haven’t noticed it in a while, so it may have been fixed and then broken again.
Basically, the audio is completely wrong for ice elemental NPCs ice lance skill – it plays what sounds like the frostbrood norn death audio.
Long time ago, they changed the ice elemental’s guttural audio pool (Earth elementals are still using the original one. Fire elementals use the harpy’s guttural sounds.) towards the jotun’s/centaur’s guttural audio pool (Most frostbrood Norn are using it now, too. Although they used the Norn’s guttural audio pool before.). So, if you see an ice elemental, you will hear a “Noooooo!” at the moment. This audio line inappropriate of course.

I’ve only seen it on npcs, so idk – do ele’s ele’s (hah!) use that ice lance thingy?

it’s actually only played when the mob in question uses this particular skill – and it’s always a death sound. maybe i’m just not understanding but i don’t see how the scenario you describe would generate this bug?
I just had an earth elemental play the same sound when i spawned it from rubble in Mount Maelstrom.
What the kitten is going on here?
