Guild Wars 2

I’ve been completing Mount Maelstrom using a GS/staff on my 80 Sylvari Mesmer, and in the past few hours I’ve noticed that the animation and sound for Mind Stab will randomly occur in a few situations. Firstly, it occurs on illusions when they shatter, but only if disguised as a Risen. Secondly, it sometimes occurs randomly on or near my actual character. I saw it once when I dropped the Risen disguise, but I’ve also seen it randomly happen for no noticeable reason. It doesn’t actually use my Mind Stab skill or make it go into cooldown.

There are a few areas in maelstrom that cause it through either the Renown heart which turns you into a Risen, and also further up North where you can turn into an animal to steal grass or something from some ghosts. Going in and out of the areas considered to be apart of that dynamic event or renown heart causes the mindstab effect. It happens because if you were disguised, it would cause the effect when you leave that area and remove your costume.

I guess the bug here is that the animation will always play when you enter and exit these areas even if you aren’t disguised.
