Guild Wars 2

Was standing at the bank when I started taking condition damage from a necro. I moved away, and they followed me to continue doing damage. Eventually they left me alone, but I saw them doing the same to other players. They were swinging their scepter but my combat log shows the scepter itself was not doing damage, just stacks of bleeding. Is their ability to cause damage in the lobby a bug?

Including a screenshot showing the bleed damage with the source.

Your signet on skill 7 is to blame. The other necro must have used a skill that inflicted conditions on himself, and then your signet transferred them to you.

Ok, that makes sense for me. But I’m pretty sure I also saw them doing it to other non-necros. I could be wrong, maybe they were actually necros, but I’m pretty sure when I was clicking through the other people I saw taking damage, it was a DH and a revenant.

Ok, just sorta impromptu tested it on some poor random in the lobby (sorry, stranger!) but yeah, self-inflicted conditions do transfer to people in the pvp lobby, so that’s a big ol brainfart on my part. But that seems… obnoxious.
