Guild Wars 2

Ever since the April 15th patch, I’ve noticed an increase in skill lag, or skills not even firing – taking multiple button presses to even get them to cast. This can be seen more often where multiple keystroks in quick succession are made, and the 2nd or 3rd skill casted doesn’t fire… then requiring a few more button presses to get the intended skill to fire.

IE; Ele Static Field, Change Attunement to Fire, and then Attempting to Meteor Shower. If the keystrokes are done quickly, the Meteor Shower will not cast. Similarly, I’ve had difficulty getting my 6 ‘heal’ skill to fire after casting a few items in quick succession.

Does GW2 have a skill cast queue, and was something changed with it in the April 15th patch? I can only assume that the required delay time between keystrokes has been increased.

This ‘bug’ is even more pronounced in heavy zerg-on-zerg fights. Where you have 60+ people, likely all mashing buttons.

Further complicating matters, sometimes, after dodge-rolling – while holding the movement “W” key pressed at the end of the dodgeroll, you fail to keep moving, requiring you to lift up and repush W to continue moving. This happens more often while strafing and dodge-rolling while casting skills. In WvW areas, this is a particularly delicate bug. As not being able to move after a dodge-roll, oftentimes gets you killed, when otherwise you’d continue to move out of trouble.

Thank You in Advance!
