Guild Wars 2

Ride the lightning after the patch goes on a full 40 second cooldown when hitting yellow inanimate objects or open world bosses. It also does not seem to be damaging stationary yellow objects.

This sounds fine, as in the interview it was explained that it only halves proc on players. This naturally prevents people using siege/rabbits etc to break combat…. Also dragons etc are not considered standard bosses (as was shown back when condition damage meant nothing to them!).
I think if it worked this skill would simply be back to being abused, just more situationally…

You can still obtain the 20 second cooldown by hitting ambient white creatures. I am still hitting world bosses for damage with the skill.

I’m not sure if the cooldown procs correctly on Engineer turrets, haven’t tested it yet.
