Guild Wars 2

Hi,
i do some experiments with a ranger/druid build and discovered a bug. There are some bugs around that sounds similar, but there are nearly one year old, so i create a new one.

Quick Draw (Ranger Trait) sometimes does not trigger when leaving Astral form. I could life with that but unfortunatly, it seems (im not sure here) that leaving the astral form sets the cooldown back too 9 seconds. I have uploaded two videos about this bug. I used sigill of concentration there, so take a look at the hourclass beside the buffs. Sigill of concentration allways trigger the right way and have a cd of 9 seconds, too.

There are some cases when this bug does NOT appear, so please test like shown in the videos. Here some cases that are as expected: When i leave astral form before quickdraw coolddown is gone, then i can swap weapons like allways, with quickdraw. When qickdraw triggers at the beginning of astral form.

Please fix this bug as fast as possible. I can’t play my druid build with this bug, because playing around this bug costs me a lot of attention and therefore i do a lot of mistakes during the fight. Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I am using the sword on the first weapon set and the horn on the second one. Maybe this has something to with the bug.

This bug is caused by interrupting a celestial avatar skill as you exit the transform. Quickdraw is consumed on the skill that was interrupted.

In both examples, you interrupt the cast of Seed of Life (The #2 skill) causing quickdraw to be wasted. As a temporary work around until it’s properly fixed, I’d suggest exiting the transform manually between skills. Alternatively you can avoid using any of the 2-5 skills in CA when your energy is running low.

Hopefully that helps in the meantime!

Thanks for your answer, this is definetly a good workaround.
However there are cases when its really hard to avoid it (e.g. using skill 4 on low astral power, if you need to use it), so i would be happy if this get fixes soon. It seems that this bug is now in the game for one year!
I do some tests: Interruping normal weapon skills don’t resets quick draw, its definetly a bug.
