Heal Scrapper Med Kit animation bug

[Katsume.1786]

Hi. 
I am recently having what i think is a graphic bug with engineer med kit. I like to play heal scrapper in WvW and the build uses the med kit but the problem is that sometimes the med kit animation will not turn off unless i go to a different map or restart the game.

 

the bug animation continues even if i die, glide, mount, swap weapons/builds/gear templates, use waypoints inside the same map i am currently in and etc.

i do not use the med kit outside WvW maps, so i don't know if it happens for pve also.

 

I submited a support ticket and repaired my game client following the support staff instructions but the bug still happened after that, so i was told to report the bug via in-game system when it happens and also to report the issue here, so this is what i am doing.

 

at first i thought it was an issue with dx11, but i turned that option off and the bug is still happening.

besides looking like a "walking firework" the bugged animation also have the sound effect from medkit skill 1 persisting at the same time (like a gas leaking).

some other scrappers from my guild also have this happening to them with med kit and elixir gun.

This occasionally happens to almost every weapon effect in the game since launch. Nothing you can do to your client will fix it besides changing map or relogging entirely.

Thank you. I do play since launch too, but never had this happen to me before so i thought it was something new. for me it started to happen only a month ago.
