Bug? Mesmer goes into attack stance after using WP.

[Mysty Meadows.1425]

Wherever I go, as soon as I move from arriving at a WP I will go into an attack stance and there is no threat etc of attack, and I have not clicked any skill.

Also, harvesting in our GH causes me to go into this stance as well.

If this is a setting please explain so I can turn it off.

I only see that happen if I'm running Virt, the dagger-halo spawns seem to trigger it.

I am running Virt. Come to think of it, it does happen after the animation channels. I REALLY wish we could turn that ridiculous dagger escort image off unless in combat.

I asked this same thing a little while back. Someone pointed out to me that it happens when you have the Illusionary Inspiration trait that triggers a heal when daggers spawn. I, too, wish it would not put you in combat stance. I like that trait.

I do run that signet. Okay so perhaps it is an oversight by Anet or unavoidable currently?

Probably both tbh. It's really little more than an annoyance, but it does make you wait until you have all 5 pointies in your halo before you're out of Combat. It slows you down for a few seconds when you zone into a map, not a huge thing but still it shouldn't put you into combat mode if you aren't already.

"Features are bugs with seniority" I just wish the dagger squadron would buzz off.
