Guild Wars 2

Steps to Recreate
1) Equip 6 Superior Runes of Lyssa
2) Activate the Thief elite ability “Dagger Storm”

Expected Results
The Rune of Lyssa ability, “Remove all conditions and activate all boons” should trigger the instant “Dagger Storm” is activated.

Actual Results
The Rune of Lyssa ability does not trigger until after Dagger Storm finishes channeling.
I assume this issue also occurs for any channeled Elite ability.

Additional Bug Info: The Rune of Lyssa effect actually completely fails to trigger if Dagger Storm is interrupted in any way (Dodging, being downed, etc). It will only trigger about 1 second after the channeling is 100% successful. This extremely reduces the utility of the rune for channeled Elites.

It occurs after the elite is finished, doesn’t matter if its cast, channel or instant. Its to prevent cancelling midcast and going into partial cooldown. If your elite has a say 180 second cooldown you could break the cast 3 times after 50 seconds (to avoid rune cooldown) and then do a full cast to get the lyssa effects 4 times for one elite “cast” Very useful if your elite isn’t something you really want to spam. It would be nice to have it complete if it started prior to channeling (read long cooldown trigger) But it’s likely this was disregarded for some coding reason or another, or balance, or who knows what, but it isn’t a bug.
