Guild Wars 2

I have a problem with Paenula quest in the Plains of Ashford. The problem is that the skill number 5 of the rifle she gaves you (the one you are supposed to use to capture the drakes with less than 50% life points) is locked and cannot be used (it says: “Locked. You cannot use this skill while transformed.” But i’m NOT tranformed in anything!) This means i cannot capture the drakes, and that makes it impossible to complete the mission. This bugs me because i need that heart to complete the map. Any idea?

The number 5 skill is supped to unlock when the mob you’re fighting goes below 50% health. Unfortunately, this has been bugged for a good while now and works unreliably. I had much better luck fighting the minotaurs than the drakes – the drakes would often die before the skill would unlock while the minotaurs could be captured IF you’re fast enough once the skill unlocks.

Tip: watch the bleeds you’re inflicting with the 1(?) skill and use the other weapon skills once the mob’s health gets close to 50%.

The problem is, no matter how much health the drakes have (50% – 30% – 25% – 15% or whatever) the skill just will not unlock. I guess i will try with the minotaurs too.

Worked for me with drakes yesterday, no help I know.
