Ranger downed skill "lick wounds"
I can confirm this bug is still in the game. Quite often this skill will summon the pet, but it won’t revive the ranger. I’m sure if anyone at ArenaNet plays a ranger that they have seen this bug.
Yup. Stopped using it because it just doesn’t work.
Yes. Very frustrating. Usually, it doesn’t work, and quite often, it does the exact opposite (it kills me). Nice that a skill designed to heal you, kills you.
works like 25% of the time. Really annoying cause it cancels your other heal when trying.
this bug happens ALL the time, its not just a sometimes thing; its about 90% of the time. And I’m talking only about when the pet is alive; i wouldn’t expect a dead one to heal you.
Also, I’ve noticed a few times that it did work that, even when the pet is killed, it continues to heal. This effect I find is consistent.
Interesting note: I play pure dps (for the underpowered challenge of it) but when I’ve played a bunker/beatmastery build this downed ability worked 100% of the time. I have no idea why.
Of course this is a major kittening bug and should have been fixed LONG ago but what I am asking you guys is: have you learned any tricks that get this spell to work consistently or at least a higher percentage of the time (and don’t say “make sure your pet is alive first”; we went over that n00b)?
