Simonoly.4352 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 If you double-tap Illusionary Riposte to immediately cast Counter Blade, the whole skill chain is cancelled and goes on full cooldown. I can't imagine this is intended... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birch.6237 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yes this is extremely frustrating when trying to interrupt casts and it just keeps on whiffing and going on CD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoly.4352 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 As far as I can tell, this still hasn't been fixed. If you double tap for an immediate use of Counter Blade the whole skill chain is interrupted and goes on full cool down. It's not very nice to use in its current form.

Linken.6345 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Well your interupting the first part of the skill dont you have to let it play out before trying to do the next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipomoea Jalapa.6897 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The problem is that "letting it play out" is such a guessing game. The timing seems to be especially sensitive to lag and FPS. It's so much harder to accomplish a successful Counter Blade than it is for a scepter's Counterspell, which as far as I can tell is supposed to have the same kind of mechanic.

It seems you have to wait for the skill icon to flip to Counter Blade before you activate it. It's odd because it was never like this before and it's not like this with other similar skills such as Counterspell on Mesmer and Crippling Throw on Ranger. As Ipomoea mentions the timing with lag and FPS causes issues with this. It's also just a pain and feels odd that we can cancel a skill in this way.It would be good to know if this is intended.
