Guild Wars 2

I was doing the Pirate-JP in LA and while using my flamethrower in the dark hallways with spikes I noticed when I got hit by the spikes I received 5 stacks of confusion on me.

I’m using a full set with Runes of Perplexity, so it seems like the interrupt effect with 6 runes is being transferred to me. I tried checking this out in PvE and WvW but couldn’t find a proper place to test this.

Has anyone else noticed this effect?

Was bugged before but they should have fixed it.. unless it wasn’t.

Correct, this was an issue over a month ago, but the August 6th Patch had corrected it.

Perhaps it was re-broken in the September 3rd game update.
Can anyone else confirm that this issue has returned?

edit
Apparently the confusion being applied to the player instead of the enemy was fixed back then, but they failed to take into account the situation of being hit by a non-killable enemy. World elements that can damage you, such as these spikes, seem to cause the player to acquire the confusion instead as the condition cannot be applied to a non-targetable, non-killable object.

I’ve re-added this issue to my “Tracker – Living World/Game Update Bugs” thread and linked it to your thread on this issue.

• Runes of Perplexity: Set Bonus #4 Confuses Self (still)
  Set Bonus #4 of the Major and Superior runes still apply confusion to the player if hit by a non-targetable, non-killable world object (ex. LA JP wall spikes)
