Guild Wars 2

Searching this forum with anything related to Pistol Whip and you get a mountain of QQ.

My problem is, I cannot even use Pistol Whip. I’ve been able to use Sword+Dagger #3, Shortbow #3, it has nothing to do with my #3 being broken because even when I click Pistol Whip it is 100% unresponsive.

Background information: Leveling a char thief because I got bored of my human thief. I learned Pistol+Pistol before Sword+Pistol, so I had 1,4, & 5 unlocked first. I unlocked Pistol Whip, and cannot use it.

I’ve tried killing about 30+ more mobs to make sure I’ve learned it. I’ve restarted my client. I’ve retraited. I’ve changed my skills around. I even bought a brand new sword and pistol … nothing allows me to use it.

Is this a known bug? Searching “pistol whip bug -nerf” … still nothing but sickening whining.

UPDATE: Pistol Whip works for me in the mists, must mean this is a leveling bug or something?

Second Update: Teleporting out of the mists and killing 1 mob allowed me to ‘relearn’ pistol whip. It was colored before and therefore learned … but I’ve just learned it again. So I guess it’s definitely a bug, but it already has a workaround.

I’m a bit doubtful that someone with this bug will be able to find this post sadly, but traveling to the mists and back is a simple solution.

Another thing on Pistol Whip: the tooltip states 9 hits but I see less than 9 (don’t remember ho many and I can’t try it now but they were about 5-6)
