Guild Wars 2

So, the warden actually has new broken behavior.

The reflect from the traited warden will not reflect properly unless the source of the projectile is standing right on top of it.

It was promised in the blog post this issue would be fixed:

Mesmer
In the April 2014 Feature Pack, we’re focusing on giving the mesmer a few more options for applied conditions and support/survivability. Clones and phantasms will receive some updates and bug fixes, including the repair of the Illusionary Warden. Along with a few other bug fixes, the mesmer will benefit greatly from the changes to sigils, especially now that they can equip two sigils to their greatsword or staff. We’re also quite excited about a few new mesmer traits that are becoming available, such as Maim the Disillusioned, which has a great name.

When can we expect a fix?

There is another thread about issues with mesmers that has even got answers from devs: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Mesmer-s-Bugged-Skills-Fixes-on-The-Way

just revert the change u did to iwarden and u got a working iwarden again…seriously i did make bets that mesmers will have new bugs and iwarden still wont be fixed at least i won gold now so i can reroll a warrior.this class obviously gets 0 attention from devs!

Yeah, definitely not fixed. It’s still bugging just like it has been.

Relax, guys. We just have to wait until the next Feature Patch.

Jokes aside, I’m hoping that they’ll hotfix this instead of making us wait (again) for the next large patch.

Either way, keep pushing this thread or the other more-appropriate thread if it exists.

Tested Warden vs Ele + Icebow and Ranger + Longbow, both auto and non auto-attack skills. Here’s a vid of the Ele test:

In fact, while testing with a ranger even targeting the warden still didn’t proc the reflects. The animation happened, but not the dmg.

Also, warden STILL fails to spin on summon:

Wardens still bugged, Illusionary elasticity wasn’t fixed, Illusionary leap wasn’t fixed, still no portal range indicator, heavy nerf to the few viable PvE dungeon/fractal builds for no apparent reason???? (seriously what the hell anet) what have we got left? not much.

Well, there we have it.
Will we ever have a functional iWarden? Will our favorite phantasm ever learn that staring foes to death is not a viable strategy?
This and more in the next episode of GW2: Bug Report.

At this point I’m not even surprised. We should just accept the fact that Mesmer’s core class mechanic is that our skills and traits all have a random chance of not doing anything.

well u can still go veil and portal golems in wvw…apparently thats the role the mesmer will have for the next 6 months. veil veilveilveilveilveilveil!tw veilveilveilveilveilveil portalveilveilveil and phantasms are acting strange atm. mine didnt even attack properly

So I’d love to see an actual fix for the warden’s problems…and then a second fix for the stuff you broke this time while trying to fix the stuff you broke the first time.
