Meetshield.1756 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Hi Arenanet, your love your game. My Class is Broken.I play Scourge Healer, so I run Scourge Support Traits. Top Top Top Baby! And I LOVE it. I don't do as much damage as Trailblazer Scourge, but I have fun keeping my friends alive and cleared of Condies.So I was a bit surprised to notice i'm dieing all the sudden after the patch, which should have reduced Condi Damage Stacks. I did some testing and apparently the Trait Abrasive Grit is bugged. It now only clears a condi on the first application of barrier. Then you have to wait 5 seconds for the barrier to dissipate before you can clear another condi, and wait 5 seconds again. I know, I'm Necro I have lots of Condi Clear right? No not really... Stun break / Mobility Skill / Well of Corruption kind of required on Necro, so Abrasive Grit is our Condi Clear...I know this was working before the recent balance patch, so I believe the hook that refreshes barrier was calling the function for the Abrasive Grit code. (Like I know what a Hook or Function is). You guys are so smart. Anyway I'm sure you could maybe just move the Hook to trigger on barrier Application as the Trait Reads. Not having this Condi clear is making me think Support Scourge is pointless, and I should just mindlessly fall in line with the mass Trailblazer Zombie Zerg meta... I know Anet is a place that fully supports diversity and variety and wouldn't want to kill an entire branch of Healer / Support Necromancy just from a simple overlooking of a Condi Clear trigger. However all I want for Christmas is my Abrasive Grit back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Za Shaloc.3908 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Bump. I started playing with a support Scourge because, well...despite being optimal I love the playstyle. This has been an unfortunate bug. The might application does not work either. Hope this gets fixed because it's honestly pretty big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunacy Solacio.6514 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Actually that issue was existing before the change on Barrier. I saw it mentioned on the forums and tested it myself to see it. As long as you already had a barrier on, the trait would not activate, because it's only removing condi on initial barrier application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meetshield.1756 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I feel pretty confident it worked before the patch. I was dropping shades on myself while attempting to flee from mesmers and clearing conditions each shade... Now i just die to Mirage like everyone else.

Lunacy Solacio.6514 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I forgot to reply to this already.... oops. Call it a combination of having been up too late when posting, saying the wrong thing, and misreading the date of the post >.>Yes, as of the 12th, it bugged, and I tested it promptly upon seeing it mentioned, probably was the 14th. And it's been bugged since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xevius.6174 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Still not in the Bugtracker... This is Insane -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarran.9845 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Can we at least get this one on the bug tracker or is the bugged trait going to become a permanent change like has happened in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xevius.6174 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 It seems like Bugs are new Features... 1 Month Buggy and no one of them Noticed it until now.Thats insane.... but wrong Textures on an Outfit are noticed and fixed in 2 Hours... very nice...

Meetshield.1756 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Anet if this is hard to fix thats understandable. Just add it to the known issues / issue tracker and we will know its on someone's todo list. Getting fixes to the LFG sorting is somewhat of a slap in the face, when we the Scourge community are trying to help solve our own condi oppression issues by clearing conditions on our self and others.One way or another condies are worse because of this bugged trait. There is a lot of barrier going out, and it would be clearing a lot of condies, but instead its just not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
