Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed a bug while using all 6 pieces of the centaur rune on an armor. The swiftness buff that you’re supposed to receive when using the healing skill doesn’t proc when i’m either downed or killed in WvW and i use a waypoint. I’ve noticed this happening before the latest patch. Usually loging out and loging back in resolves the issue.

There has been an issue since launch (at least) where being downed causes one or more armor pieces/weapons/accessories to no longer properly give the stats that they have on them and sigils, runes and upgrades no longer grant the buffs/stats they normally would.

It has never been acknowledged or fixed.

If you feel like you are a little squishy, that your attacks aren’t doing as much damage as they normally do, or that your runes/sigils are not proccing, you must unequip and re-equip all items to ensure they are working properly.

One way, as you stated, is it log out and then back in for them to work again, another way was to manually unequip and re-equip all armor, weapons and accessories for them to properly register.

However, simply hitting your Towns Clothes button (in hero screen or the hotkey) will achieve this same task. No logging or manual unequip/re-equip required.

It is a very ridiculous bug that many feel the effects of each day, but just can’t attribute it to something causing it.

Always, after being downed (even if you recover, are rezzed, or are killed and then waypoint), at your first opportunity when out of combat, switch to Towns Clothes and back to ensure all armor, weapons and accessories are giving the proper stats and buffs to your character.

Ah i see. Didn’t know it was like this since launch but then again, i never used runes that were procing effects based on skill usage. Good to know there’s a work around but i hope that this will get fixed. Thanks for your answer

Not many do know that this actually is a bug, and that there is a workaround for it :\ Spread awareness
Hopefully this bug is what was causing your rune to not proc after a downed state so you at least know how to get it to work again quickly, instead of there being a different issue of there actually being a busted rune mechanic :\
