[Bug?] Embrace the Darkness Temporarily Disables Facet of Nature Activation

[Za Shaloc.3908]

I haven't experimented too much to truly find out what is causing it, but oftentimes when playing a Mallyx Herald, I will be unable to activate Facet of Nature shortly after using Embrace the Darkness. When I mean shortly, I do mean a very small amount of time. However, this bug does not seem to persist with any other legends' upkeep skills. Has anybody else experienced this? I don't see any reason for this not to be a bug, but perhaps I am missing something. Rather annoying when I am trying to play, even if it is a more minor bug than many others that have hit Revenant. I made this video a while back, but totally forgot about it. Bug(?) still seems to persist today and I have seen no mention of it anywhere, so I thought I'd share it.

Its always a thing. If u activate 4 of 5 facets (excluding f2) the 5. is also shown as having a cooldown due to a lack of energy-bars

That's not what I am saying though. Embrace the Darkness has an upkeep of -6, Facet of Nature has an upkeep of -2 (PvE/WvW, this video was taken in PvE). Total this is -8, and the max amount of upkeep you can have is -10, so both upkeeps in Mallyx should be simultaneously activatable. What you are referring to is shown in the video when I swap to Glint because I have -9 upkeep going so cannot activate Facet of Nature. When I swap to the other core legends (Jalis, Shiro, Ventari), I can use FoN immediately after using their respective upkeep skills. This is not the case for Mallyx: there is a small (probably about 0 .5-0.75s) period of time when FoN is disabled from activating. I could have done a better job at demonstrating this, but I don't know much at all about video editing and made this rather quickly last month. The end of the video shows it slowed down more so it is more apparent.

Ye but it counts way higher than just +6 when activating not at all legends ,but with some and with some skills only

Hm interesting, do you know which other ones behave this way?

Yeah that’s definitely a weird bug. I expect it will never get truly fixed like most Rev bugs

[ZDragon.3046]

clearly its because you cant be intune with corruptive darkness and nature at the same time hue hue....

weird bug tho

For example, If you activate all facets from herald (6-9) ,then you have cooldown on the 0-one

To me it always felt like a fail safe to avoid more bugs, hence why it was done that way.

Because if you think about it, to implement it just like that shouldn't really affect anything unless they've done something for that to happen.
