Guild Wars 2

BlackDevil, could you link an updated version of your build?

(Not sure if the roaming build linked on your stream page is just missing 2nd sigil on the 2-hander, or if you did other changes other post-patch?)

Bumping, as this is still bugged. 6 months since I last reported it. It’s been bugged since release afaik.

Just to clarify – an example so you can test it yourselves:
1) Go 25+ deep in Illusions traitline.
2) Try the first sword off-hand ability (#4). Mouseover cooldown displays “12” (correct). Actual cooldown on use turns out to be 15 (should have been 12) seconds.

NOTE: If one also picks up “Blade Traning” in “Dueling” traitline, displayed cooldown is still “12” (should have been 9), actual cooldown is 12 (should have been 9) seconds.

Confirming that its still bugged the way Phloww describes it.

BUG: Mesmer Sword skill #4 (first off-hand skill), Illusionary Riposte, does NOT get a reduced cooldown from Illusionists Celerity (the 25 trait-point/adept effect in Illusions trait tree), even though Illusionary Riposte is marked as a clone skill.

Programming bug/reason, making an educated guess: Sword #4 is a 2-part skill. It’s overall marked as a clone skill, so should benefit from the trait. But the 2nd part of the skill, which starts the cooldown, is not marked as a clone skill by itself. As such, a coding glitch/bug makes the skill not benefit from being a clone skill after all?

PS: This has been reported before (not be me), but the newest report I found when I did a search was back in 2012, so I feel its warranted to report it again.
