Guild Wars 2

Whenever my lvl 80 ele enters labyrinthine cliff, skills 7-9 are locked and cannot be changed, until I log out or change character. They are not in cooldown period and whatever skills currently assigned are still functional, just cannot be changed to other skills. I don’t know if it’s specific to this character / class and I wonder if anyone had experienced it.

When the Bazaar first came out I didn’t have this problem. It started to happen since the last patch, and it seems to happen every time I enter that map. It also has happened to me in some fractals, such as urban battleground and cliffside fractal.

They should only be locked if you have any of the aspect skills. Apparently it counts as a transform.

I checked that too. I made sure I don’t have any aspect skills on me. It happens even when I first entered the labyrinthine cliff zone. Also it doesn’t explain why the same problem happens in fractals occasionally.

Urban Battleground is “expected” in that they have screwed up the transformations. They are behaving like tonic transformations rather than these forced transformations. Unfortunately they have no idea why.

Getting one of the three skills (speed, high jump, long jump) has been implemented as “transformation”. Skill #5 undoes thies “transformation”.
A few patches ago (two months ?) the dev unintentionally implemented a skill-swap-prevention during transformations. The issue has not been solved yet.

To solve your issue, ditch your crystal skills and you can change the #6 ~ #0 skills again.
