Scrapper / Engineer bugs post 2-6


Recommended Posts

^ Atleast in the pvp lobby it does, its just that the barrier is applied before the damage is, and with such a minor barrier that often means the hit bleeds over into your health without you noticing it outside of the yellow hit numbers (would be interesting if this had a CD/target instead of global ).

The gyro bug has happened to me about 4 times today (once in spvp, where i had to let the enemy kill me to get my core functionality back). Retraiting scrapper does not seem to work.

If it is applied before the damage pairing it with the condi damage reduction makes little sense. You definitely never have leftover barrier from this trait after taking the damage, so you have to have other sources of barrier to even make use of the second half of this trait.

Stuck with a permanent 1 hp barrier.

Stuck with a permanent barrier glow.

Do you by chance play an Asuran? In regard to the stomp bug our guild had a bunch of Asuran's and we all got hit with the stomp/res bug...but we haven't been able to duplicate it on scrappers of other races. (This stomp bug predates the latest patch by several months)

@miriforst.1290 said:I made a reddit post about this a few days ago and have reported it in the bug section.At first i thought it was using the gyro at really low hp targets, and that it would bug out because it didnt set up fully.

But the most reliable way to trigger this (i cant say for sure if it is the only way) is to go to hotm, find the training npcs and down them. Then you need to use your gyro and stomp manually. The act of stomping the same target my gyro was stomping triggered this for me every single time, 100%. It might also possibly trigger on allies stomping the same target but i haven't had time to properly test that. If anything this tells us how rare actually stomping instead of cleaving is nowadays.As you cannot stomp normally while gyro is off cooldown we can not choose not to activate it, and due to its frailty often the scrapper is needed to personally ensure a stomp, so this would happen pretty often.

Once this bug has happened you need to either die or swap instance. Retraiting scrapper does not work.

I wonder if there is a problem determining the outcome of the new decisive renown if both are stomping and if that then causes a conflict.

But i had this happen before this patch (but more rarely) so it might happen from a number of different situations.

I found one situation which is easy to reproduce in which this occurs.

Just to add this to the list of bugs, hopefully someone else is noticing the issue with Perfectly Weighted.

After some testing on the same mobs with and without Perfectly Weighted traited, not only did the 10% damage modifier not apply to the tool tip but I saw no difference in my auto attack damage numbers at all. The damage buff applies to all my other hammer skills but not the auto.

I can confirm the stomp bug with my charr scrapper. Previous to the last patch it happened from time to time but after the patch the bug is persistent 80% of the time. It seems the bug is related somehow with the function gyro, are we maybe sharing the 20s ICD with ther gyro once it is activated? Cannot confirm this but it maybe enlights some developer to find a quick fix. NOT ABLE TO STOMP may be considered a minor issue when zerging, but when roaming/havoc and in pvp the first stomp means the difference between victory or defeat. This problem is CRITICAL right now because it denies a whole spec if you pretend to play it at competitive level.

Yup, I'm saying it again....please take a look someone at arenanet!

My guess for the function gyro is that there is a timer that is supposed to be set that resets the variables for when the gyro is reset, but something must be preventing the timer from going off. I'll just throw off a couple of random thoughts on what I'd check for.

1.) Perhaps the timer is only set within the deconstructor of the gyro and the gyro isn't being properly deconstructed until the owner dies or relogs?

2.) Maybe the timer is behind a cast to the gyro's target to check if the target is dead, but the target of the gyro is set to NULL after it dies to get AI to ignore the target, which would fail the cast?

This bug has been around since Heart of Thorns. I would love to see it gone.

This BUG is not since HoT. I have player scrapper since HoT and I can assure you that the real BUG has appeared since the last patch, when they have introduced modifications to the srapper spec (barriers). Before the patch, from time to time, the STOMP/REZ action got bugged, but it happened rarely. Since the last 13Feb patch, this BUG has extended to happen almost always (80% of the times in my case). Some players have studied the BUG and it is for sure, as you point, something related with the function gyro and its internal cooldown, this cooldown seems to affect the scrapper itself, leaving him unable to stomp or rez unless reinstance or death. Scrapper right now can't be played in sPvP or WvW at competitive level, because stomping or rezzing is just a lottery right now.

This bug is actually since Heart of Thorns, at least in pvp. It's just getting worse now.
