Guild Wars 2

I did a quick search on this bug, but either it hasn’t been addressed or my search-skills are far behind. If I did make a duplicate, feel free to remove/merge.

This bug seems to happen to Signet of Agility and Assassin’s Signet only, but shares the cooldown with several other skills when swapped in.

ex: Cast Shadow Refuge so it is on recharge (60 sekittenraited), swap some other utility for SoG/AS and they will start at the same recharge as Shadow Refuge is currently.

This is very annoying when swapping skills right before combat (I can imagine it is hell in WvW/PvP)

It has to do with your underwater skill slots (and the skills that are in them) going on cooldown when you use a land skill.

Workaround is to equip 3 useless utilities underwater.

This usually happens, when the newly slotted skill is used in the same slot in your under water skillbar. As Shadow Refuge is not usable under water, I guess the Signet of Agility you swapped to is in utility slot 7 on your under water skillbar.
The game sets your under water #7 on cooldown the moment you use #7 on the normal toolbar (to prevent exploits).

Edit: dang, too slow… ;-)
Can’t tell if this is a bug or WAI.

Thank you for pointing out that thread and explaining the cause of it.
