Tiah.3091 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I noticed that sometimes my Bladesongs get randomly blocked. I'm obviously thinking "well, perhaps the buff expired". Then I read somewhere, that if you get a Psychic Riposte and then do some other action (weapon attack or a spell cast) then the buff just doesn't work. I'm thinking -- okay, that's weird, but I'll try to cast Bladesongs ASAP after dodge/block. Then this happens: I mean, I literally just dodged a dragon tooth, then immediately casted Harmony. And it got blocked entirely by Rev's Staff 3. How's that fair?! Can we get a fix on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beddo.1907 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Wiki: Furthermore, if you cast any skills while the bladesong skill is sending out projectiles, they will lose their unblockable fact. Does not have to be a full cast to cause this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadnir.5038 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) At least the video support your claim. You indeed consume psychic riposte when using harmony and curiously all blades are blocked. The wiki offer an answer, though: Bug: Furthermore, if you cast any skills while the bladesong skill is sending out projectiles, they will lose their unblockable fact. Does not have to be a full cast to cause this. Edited January 14, 2023 by Dadnir.5038 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rolled, I casted Bladesong -- Bladesong got blocked. (I did cast mantra AFTER all the projectiles were already in mid-flight, and some even already hit the target). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its bugged since the release Well, I haven't played the game since 2018. I tried it out briefly at EOD release (for like a week or less), but didn't notice it back then. Last week I decided to give it a second try. 24 minutes ago, Dadnir.5038 said: You did have your AA glowing as if it's casting. The AA also count as a skill. Okay, that makes sense. Thanks! (Granted, I can't say that made me feel any better. The bug is still annoying AF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidrex.5649 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Wait, so you legit have to stop doing anything or the trait doesnt work? is this really happening? that renders it unusable what the kitten 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfat.2604 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I tried very hard to not do anything when I got the buff and before using bladesongs, and I think it worked less of 50% of times. Sometimes it’s me still can’t fully control myself, sometimes I can’t tell why it still didn’t work. This trait is like gambling, I hate it. Yet, it’s 100% the only grandmaster trait worth to take in competitive mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. It's unfortunately the best trait on Virtuoso anyway. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC duration in game says 1.5s evade, on wiki its 1/2. They didnt add a bug detail to spb discipline trait that makes it reduce cd of the bursts by ~28%. Neither anet knows about gs3 on guardian using PVE values in pvp for a long time already. (Doubt anyone edited that on wiki as well) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Anet should do us all a favour and remove the text suggesting that the next bladesong will be unblockable or just remove the skill, since it's probably one of the most useless end core skills for mesmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
