Most if not all of them are wrong. And not by just a little bit either…

Here’s a quick example on the wiki (which mirrors in-game info):
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Trick_Shot

Thief Shortbow#1
in-game UI: 0.25s
actual: 0.95s

I’ve done some testing on various auto-attack skill activation times by frapsing and dropping a time-code onto the video clips. Here are just a few I’ve found…

Guardian
GS#1c Wrathful strike
in-game UI: 0.5s
actual: 1.23s

Staff#1
in-game UI: 0.5s
actual: 1.0s

Scepter#1
in-game UI: 0.25s
actual: 0.8s

If the info was off by just a little bit, I would have bothered posting. But this stuff is WAY off. And I wouldn’t be surprised if most skill activation times were listed incorrectly. It would be great if you could correct this ANet, as testing every single in-game skill would be grueling. You guys have the actual numbers. Please fix this and help all of your theory-crafters out.
