Decapitate (Berserker F1) hits twice on downed foes.. stay or nay?

Title.

I know it's a bug but.. maybe it if stays that way it will have a niche. Thoughts?

I can guarantee that even if it's useful, good, etc ... if it's a bug, Anet will fix it.

Sounds like it.. they did the same for the blinds too back in the day (was a stupid change though). But w/e, it looks like it has been there for a while. May as well enjoy it now while it lasts.

Leap at your foe with a powerful attack. Foes behind your target also take damage.

Are you seeing the shockwave or is your combat log showing two decapitates?

Not this again, it was shown a long time ago that "double decapitate" is just a double skill usage by either:1.- Using blood reckoning2.- The enemy runs after being hit for the first time; the warrior cannot connect because warrior is melee, the adrenaline fills up and some time later the enemy receives another decapitate.

In the heat of battle, the enemy has no idea what just happened until they check the log and see 2 decapitates and thus they wrongly claim that decapitate is bugged.

Well if you are downed, decapitate hits twice as shown by the GIF

No blood reckoning, I promise. Try it out with a friend too, It's actually working like this. Not just a combat log thing.

Please tell me if you can replicate on real players, I'm 100% sure I've done this to other players as well. I could stream a full game too when I stop lagging like in the GIF.

Isn't this happening because of the shockwave the skill produces? If so, then it's normal.

I would hope so.. but other people might say it's a bug.

The shockwave functioning like this would give decapitate and arms a legitimate purpose tbh..

"The shock wave produced by this skill is actually a secondary effect referred to as Axe Wave in the combat log. It is therefore not affected by traits that improve burst skills such as Burst Precision."

if it says decapitate twice, instead of decapitate + axe wave then it is indeed a bug

It says decapitate + axe wave on a the SAME downed target, and even then I'm skeptical because the target gets hit TWICE if it is downed. But if the target isn't downed then decapitate + axe wave doesn't happen on the SAME target. So I'm thinking the latter is intended but axe wave + decapitate on a downed target might POSSIBLY be a bug.

You are laying down so are now "longer"

That's how it works o.o?

Dam... so good chance it is intended?

Simple logic right there. Tbh though, downstate is a weird thing.
