Guild Wars 2

As a warrior when you have a banner (not Battlestandard) on cooldown and you try to swap a different skill and put a utility signet in, the signet will take the same cooldown as the banner has left.

I use Banner of Discipline, while it’s still on cooldown I try to swap Signet of Might for Signet of Fury, now Signet of fury is on cooldown for the same amount of time the banner is on cooldown for, even if it’s longer than possible for the signet to have.

This has been a long standing bug with warriors and myself and other warriors have submitted bug reports recently and months ago. Perhaps posting this on the forum will have better success…

Wait, you can swap skills when they are on cooldown? Since when?

This is not a bug. Just do not let the cheater

There is some sort long standing bug here and it has been reported previously. I’ve repeated it in Lion’s Arch (with no combat interference) but it is intermittent and can’t be reproduced on demand. Essentially a warrior can swap utility skills and the new one immediately goes onto cool down when it should be available for use. The bugged skill can even go on cool down for longer than when it is used normally, and this is because it inherits the cool down time erroneously from a banner used in another utility slot, or something.

No need to call the OP a cheat.

I’m not swapping skills that are on cooldown. The skill is completely unused before I try to swap it. But when I do swap an unused skill to a signet when a banner is on cooldown, the signet suddenly shares the cooldown with the banner that is on cooldown.

Also I can reproduce this bug with 100% accuracy anytime I want to.

OK. Now I understand what you are saying.

Yeah, that sounds like a problem.

It’s a very annoying problem because I often have to swap out signet of fury for signet of might when i can’t crit and I always use a banner. Not to mention this bug has been going on for months, and I can’t remember which patch gave it to us.

Just frustrated of using the in game reporting tool and urging other warriors to do the same to no avail…
