Guild Wars 2

Hello.

I strongly believe it is a bug/exploit that he randomly stumbled across.

I was randomly killing monsters when I activated Haste (skill on my thief) and it seems to last forever, after killing 5 other monsters. There was no icon depicting the presence of haste after its initial 4 seconds duration.

After killing 5, and coming on and typed all these, I went back and attacked another creature. Realised the haste effect has disappeared. Hence I do not know how to initiate the exploit. Just posting here to alert the development team regarding the exploit.

Usual duration is 4 seconds, with 60 seconds cooldown.

Subsequent attempts to find out the cause of the glitch were unsuccessful.

Fyi, when I initiated haste, I was knocked down by Ice Wyrm in Dredgehaunt Cliffs while my haste was still activated. After which, I experienced the ‘endless’ haste for 5 creatures before I realised the presence of the glitch/exploit/bug.

Info about my character at that point of time:
Level 65 scaled down to 49 in Dredgehaunt Cliffs map.
Fought an ice wyrm, started fight with Cloak and Dagger followed by backstab.
Activated haste and was knocked down after ~2 seconds.
Haste seems to last infinitely, but ended when I spent 5 to 8 minutes reading online on bug reports and typing this post.

Total number of creatures killed with exploit:
5-7 I don’t remember. (including the Ice Wyrm that gave me that exploit)
Realised the presence of exploit/glitch at 5th monster.

Would like to add that I have the trait Critical Haste. 10% chance to get quickness (2s) on a critical hit (30s cooldown).

It might also be that quickness was immediately activated so many times in a row on my first hit, which is slightly unlikely. Those creatures I killed were some travel time away from one another.
