Guild Wars 2

The 6th rune ability of Lyssa, which grants all boons and cleanses conditions when using an elite skill, can be interrupted after the elite skill itself is activated. I could see the potential reasons for a delay in the activation of the Lyssa rune ability itself, but for it to be separately interrupted once the elite skill is used is illogical and must be classified as a bug.

This bug has been in the game for a long time, but I see no previous mention of it here. I am 100% confident this is what goes on when I use the Warrior elite Signet of Rage. Yes, the elite itself can be interrupted, but when this occurs the skill goes on a very short cooldown. When the Lyssa ability is interrupted, the elite skill goes on full cooldown and I have no extra boons or condition wipe.

I acknowledge this may not be an easy fix and is a relatively minor problem, but it isn’t how the skill should work and it would mean a great deal to me if you could correct it. Please make this right, Anet.

I knew something was off with my damage. Empowered is important to my build; now it’s near-worthless.

This is a stealth nerf, to be sure, but is it really unintentional? The tooltip has been changed.

Anet, please clarify.

Many have noticed that the chill duration of Winter’s Bite seems less than the tooltip (3s). The results of my stopwatch testing are:
Base chill duration: ~1.8s
+100% chill duration: ~3.6s

Y’all did a great thing fixing the projectile speed of the axe; please finish the job by improving the chill duration of Winter’s Bite.

I have recently tested this. The problem is not the sigil and rune duration, which work correctly, but the initial chill duration of Winter’s Bite.

I’ve tested this with a stop watch and that length is approximately 1.8 seconds. With +100% chill duration, the length is approximately 3.6 seconds.

Please fix this, Anet.
