Guild Wars 2

Edited and put details in OP.

I’m using a staff, my staff is the Cleric’s Pearl Quarterstaff with a Superior Sigil of Water.

I was curious if it’s the sigil causing the problem, it isn’t. I tried putting on a regular staff to see if the animation would work, same thing.

Also, when I say “When I put on the dagger”. I meant that you get access to the spell itself when you put on a dagger, and directly casting would let the animation show.

I’m having the same problem with the cleansing wave.

I get the heal and the condition removal but no animation. The other elements have an animation just not cleansing wave.

Has nothing to do with my quality because I see it just fine with my dagger, just not with the dodge.

Evasive Arcana’s Cleansing Wave:

Works but never shows the animation.

However, if you dodge while in a water field (Healing Rain, Geyser), the animation and heal will work, BUT:
1) The 10 second cooldown no longer applies, you heal with EVERY dodge.
2) You do not need to be attuned to water for the heal + animation to work. Meaning you can effectively cast 2 spells at a time with one dodge.
3) 10 Second cooldown still applies to other attunement’s spells.

What I just mentioned above only works if you have the trait on.

PS.
Anet, if you fix this, please don’t just fix the exploit. It’s hard to see if the dodge worked without the animation when you’re saving an ally. In turn, it also makes it harder to time the 10 second CD.

It’s 14 days now -_-; Still not fixed.

I know the skill point in bloodtide coast, at the south west island is still bugged.

I’m not complaining about the heal itself, I just think its a waste to not have that animation.

I’m convinced its the same spell since ally NPC’s often use the same skills players do, it’s a shame to have an animation work only on an NPC but not on the player don’t you think?

+ It’s really nice to see that you’re actually healing, you can’t really tell with the current animation.

I recently saw some Quaggans use the spell and when they do the water would bounce onto allies as it heals.

Elementalist’s water blast doesn’t do that, I think it still heals just doesn’t do the animation. I’m content with how much it heals I just really want to see that animation work on elementalist’s too.

Other spells that heal on radius (Such as Guardian’s Light of Judgement) also bounces onto allies as it heals. I think this is a bug, or else the bounce should be implemented to help you see who you’re healing.

My 2 cents, hope people notice and bump this.

I don’t know if this is the right section but,
Water Blast:
Spray a jet of water that heals allies in the blast radius.

I just did the Quaggan personal storyline quests (Bad Ice, Past Keeper) and I saw that the Quaggans used the same skill except when they attacked the water (Same animation as Water Blast) would actually bounce onto allies as it heals them.

Since it seems like the same skill, is it a bug that the Elementalist’s version of this spell doesn’t do that bounce?

I’m convinced it’s a bug because other spells that also heal allies in blast radius (Like Guardian’s Light of Judgment) also has that bounce as it heals allies. Also, a lot of ally NPC’s use the same spells player use, so it seems weird that the NPCs would have a fancier version.

Just pointing it out, it’d be really great to have that bounce animation for Water Blast because currently it’s very hard to tell if you’re healing anyone with it at all.

Is there a reliable place to check server status?

Hello,

As of today I’ve had two random disconnects. Both of which caused me to not be able to log back in for a long time (I couldn’t even log in the patcher, and usually got the 42.xx errors).

Just a second ago same thing happened, now I can log back in after waiting for a long time, and I see my Elementalist be 2 levels behind where she was. The moment I click play I error out again.

I’ve been playing for the game for a bit now I don’t know if it’s my comps problem or some issue with connectivity.

P.S
Is there a reliableplace to see server status?
