Guild Wars 2

Interact now works while in Death Shroud. However, activating Death Shroud interrupts all actions.

As a 0 cast time skill, it should not interrupt skills being performed by the caster mid-performance. This interrupt defeats the purpose of gaining interact in Death Shroud and must be a bug.

Why give the ability to perform actions in DS if we can’t perform an action we started when entering DS?

Hopeful the developer team will take a look at this issue

+1 this must be a bug looking at others class that can cast spells without getting interrupted while interacting, DS should have same privileges ,,,

We can cast spells when we are stomping, some of them but ds is a transformation I don’t think it’s a bug, honestly it would be slightly op if we could go in and out of ds while stomping.

I dont think the transformation part is a good argument since it works with plague which is also a transformation.

But i agree it may be to strong…

Keep this thread going, it needs attention.

The plague works the same way the old ds stomp worked… you need to kind of hit them both at once. You can’t just stomp and hit plague midway through.

Four professions have instant cast stability that can be used during a stomp without interuption:

guardian – stand your ground
warrior – balanced stance
elementalist – armor of earth
mesmer – mantra of concentration

engineer & thief can stealth before stomp
ranger – at least has stability that can be cast before stomp and will last the full stomp duration

Necro is the only class lacking all of these options. Mechanically speaking the OP is right – instant cast DS shouldn’t interupt a stomp. They could always “fix” it by making FitG base 5 seconds instead though. (yes I know that’s unrealisticOP)

The elementalist can also mist form, and the engineer has an elixr to make him invul

Especially in light of the recent bug fix to DS, please also correct this Death Shroud glitch.

Human racial elite Avatar of Melandru, elementalists Mist Form, engineers Elixer S are transformation skills too but those do not interrupt if casted mid interaction. Afaik necromancers Death Shroud and engineers Elixer U are the 2 instant cast abilities that interrupt interaction and I believe it’s not working as intended.

I’m going to fight on the Necro side of this argument.

If elementalists can stomp then activate mist form…. Necros should be able to do the same with death shroud.

Signed! I expierince this too and if it is not a bug I would like clarification on it.

It pretty much comes down to this.

There’s no reason another class can change forms, teleport, or use instant cast abilities to aid in a stomp and a Necro is interrupted when they enter of leave deathshroud midstomp.
