Guild Wars 2

Since Echoes of the past update I have this really annoying bug where if I have whatever banner (discipline, strength…) on cool down, and then I switch any utility on other slot for another skill, this skill immediately shares the current cool down of the banner.

Example:

First Utility slot : Balanced stance. (40 secs cool down)
Second utility slot: Banner of Discipline (120 secs Cool down)

I cast my banner of discipline, wait a bit, there’s 115 seconds left on cool down, now I change balanced stance for “For Great Justice” (25 secs cool down), for some reason now “for great justice” shared the banner cool down and is left with a 115 seconds wait.

Any warriors out there can test this out or have found this happen to them, for me it happens always. Don’t know if it is related only to specific skills or banners, but with banner of discipline and then changing balanced stance for For great justice always triggers the bug.

That has nothing to do with banners or warrior skills. I have already reported to ArenaNet twice why skills get disabled a while ago.

You put “For Great Justice” in the same under water skill slot as Banner of Discipline in the normal skill slot (i.e. #8).
If you now use Banner of Discipline the game adds a cooldown to your Banner of Discipline skill and your under water skill at the same slot (“For Great Justice” at #8).
Now you try to switch your #7 skill to “For Great Justice” and it is on cooldown.

This stupid behavior is the reason why I put the worst skills into my under water bar to prevent such cooldowns.
Healing skill and elite skill are unaffected by that because you only have 1 slot for each type of skill.

Thanks for the tip Kejima, gonna test that underwater trick, need to prevent this from messing really important skills, specially for fractals.
