Do you have the Runes of the Vampire (or something like that) equipped? It is supposed to turn you into a mist at 15% or so. This, however, is bugged and incompatible with your Death Shroud. Each time you use it, it triggers automatically, making you unable to attack in any sense.
+25 power
5% to cause your next attack to steal life when hit. (cooldown: 15s)
+50 power
your next attack after using your heal skill steals life. (Not in)
+90 power
You become mist when below 10% health. (cooldown: 60s)
The last part randomly activates each time you enter death shroud. I don’t know if the other parts work.
Since 3 days I’m having this stupidly annoying Death Shroud issue. When I’m in combat, I press f1 to enter Death Shroud. The interface changes as it’s supposed to, except that the ‘leave death shroud’ slot is just completely blank as if I have no spell. The problem is that this bug ‘silences’ me for 2-3 seconds, in which I can’t cast any death shroud spells. After those 2-3 seconds, the ‘leave death shroud’ is suddenly available and everything works as expected.
In addition, if my Life Force is depleted before the 2-3 second interval has expired and I return to my normal form, the bug is still present. My entire skillbar from 1 to 5 is blank, and I can’t cast anything during this time.
EDIT: I found out the source of this bug. It actually has nothing to do with Death Shroud itself. I was planning on making a Necro build fully focused on siphoning health and death shroud, so I took the Vampiric runes for my armor. Somehow these Vampiric runes are the cause of the bug.
I’m having a blast playing this game, but I think my system should be able to get higher FPS than it currently does. When I enter the personal story, I hit 40-50 fps. In the outside world and sPvP, I hit 15-25. WvWvW is unplayable (at 7 fps max).
