Guild Wars 2

While playing in Dragon Stand I noticed that when I’m using the #1 skill for Mesmer with a greatsword I don’t do any damage to the Spitfire. Other weapons and skills will do damage but just not the first greatsword skill. (Yes, the shield around the Spitfire was down. My Phantasms were doing damage but not me.) Anyone else having this problem?

I did Dragon Stand again and had the same problem. I made a short video about it.

I had to shrink and compress the video because my upload speed is terrible but you can see my problem. I’m using skill 1 and it does no damage, doesn’t even hit the Spitfire. Skills 2, 3, and 4 do damage just fine. Can any other Mesmer or Anet mod confirm that this is happening?

It’s worth noting that the anet team read these forums, but they don’t very often respond here. If you want a direct response from anet, a support ticket is the way to do it.

Though, that said, I strongly encourage you to continue as you are: video proof, and getting confirmation from other mesmers, is excellent support for what the QA team at anet need to reproduce this: the details of how to make it happen themselves.

Yeah, I’m hoping other Mesmers could confirm if this is also happening to them. It’s pretty easy to reproduce, assuming you have HoT expansion:

1) Be a Mesmer/Chronomancer
2) Use a Greatsword
3) Go to Dragon Stand.
4) Attack a Spitfire while shields are down with first skill

I’ve only done south lane with my Mesmer but I’m pretty sure all Spitfires are the same.
