{{User:Mike Zadorojny/sidebox}}

This page exists to report skills the behave differently from what their descriptions claim. For skills that have been considered but won't be changed (invalid or unfixable issues) see [[ArenaNet:Skill bugs/Nofix]].

For conflicts between descriptions and skill behavior, use the following template to report your issue:
<code><pre>{{skill bug|skill name|claimed behavior|actual behavior}}</pre></code>

An example of this, using a fixed bug, would be:
<code><pre>{{skill bug|Conflagration|All ''arrows'' deal fire damage|All ''projectiles'' deal fire damage}}</pre></code>
This would give:

{{skill bug|Conflagration|All ''arrows'' deal fire damage|All ''projectiles'' deal fire damage}}

For other suspected bugs, use {{tl|skill icon}}, followed by a description of the suspected bug.

Comments can be made on the talk page. Other skill issues should go on the balancing pages or the suggestions page.
An ArenaNet employee may add a {{reported}} icon to indicate that the issue has been reported and is awaiting resolution. Anyone may change this to a {{yes}} symbol if they verify that the issue has been fixed in-game. A {{no}} icon may be used to indicate that a bug is not considered a valid issue, or that the issue is unfixable.

These attacks target a foe, who if kiting might not get hit once the attack completes. Their descriptions haven't been updated since the targeting functionality was changed.
:Actually, you mean adjacent to you, not your foe (cyclone axe) right? -- [[User:Halo|<span style="font-family:Castellan;color:green">'''Halogod35'''</span>]] [[Image:User Halogod35 Sig.jpg|15px]] 13:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
:: We don't understand what you feel the issue is with these skills. The description matches the functionality: When you hit the skill, you will hit every adjacent enemy around you. Since this skill can be used without even having a target selected, you are not attacking target foe and all adjacent foes, but rather just all adjacent foes. Much like some of the Elementalist fire skills that just nuke everything in the area. --[[User:Andrew Patrick|Andrew Patrick]] 17:41, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

::The second point, of [[Illusion of Haste]] and [[Faithful Intervention]] not re-applying while the respective enchantment is still active, is by design.  Neither have a duration, so don't need to be refreshed.  If the enchantment falls and is re-cast it will apply appropriately.

:::Ok, let me explain (sorry for my bad english^^). For first thing setup your pg with a 55 model (superior runes on all armor pieces and a -50 offhand). Load two hero, one mesmer and another monk. Mesmer will be your resurrector: simply need to have a superior rune of fast casting on mask, 16 fast casting, 12 restoration magic and flash of my flesh how single skill on your bar. Monk will heal resurrector: simply need to have a superior rune of healing prayers on scalp, 16 healing p., 12 divine favor and healing skills at your advice. Either heroes need to set to avoid combat. Enter into menagerie, order to Wynn to spawn a pet of level 12 at least, flag your heroes to the external of the fence, attack the spawned pet and let him kill you (initially disable the skills of the monk, otherwise the monk tries to heal u). After first kill re-enable skills of monk and let to pet to kill u for many minutes (usually let him to level up to 20). At your advice, try now to go away from the pet and try cast any of skill that u have on the bar. Try also to ping your energy bar: you will say that it is a zero even if it is filled. I hope i have explained it clearly. - [[User:San Matteo|San Matteo]] 06:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I'm french so I don't have a good english. I'll give an exemple : 
1/ I'm in [[Tahnnakai Temple (explorable area)]]. I'm at the beginning of the room where [[Quansong Spiritspeak]] is. I take aggro with one Temple Guardian. He KD me because, like Abyssals, "this creature causes knockdown on a critical hit. " So, I take alcohol (5 mins). I cast dwarven stability. Now, the Guardian don't KD me anymore. The Dwarven works on a knock down due to a critical hit. Now, I go to Quansong Spiritspeak. He cast [[Earthbind]]. Now, I become knockdowned if the Guardians triggers a critical hit on me. The Dwarven Stability fails.

{{no}}"Foe" in the description of [[Weapon Spell]]s referes to foes of the [[target]]. [[Foe]] in desrciptions of Enchantments (and hexes) referes to foes of the caster.

:I don't understand the complaint here. Maybe I'm missing something. Weapon spells are cast on allies, so the foe of the caster's ally is the same as the foe of the caster. The only situations I can think of where an ally changes into a foe are when charming an animal, losing your minions, or in PvE when NPCs turn on you and attack. I don't see how these situations constitute a rewording of the skill descriptions. It doesn't seem like people are generally confused on what is meant by "foe" and "ally" in the weapon spell descriptions.

::::Well, if my notes hadn't been entirely scrapped...  http://wiki.guildwars.com/index.php?title=ArenaNet:Skill_bugs&diff=1272867&oldid=1272781  Basically, no spells will cause harm to an ally, even when they theoretically should.  You can see this when you cast Scourge Healing on a foe, then Heal Area.  The animation triggers, but no damage is dealt to your party member.  As best as I can tell, this is part of a global no-friendly fire game mechanic.  Similarly, if you cast Shield of Judgment on a Bone Fiend, lose control of it, and attack it, you won't take damage.  However, you WILL be knocked down, indicating that the effect is processing normally, but you simply aren't allowed to damage your allies.  Vengeful Weapon, Weapon of Remedy, and Xinrae's Weapon are the only spells for which this does not hold true, to the best of my knowledge. In retrospect, it may be a result of their lifestealing, rather than dealing damage, which is a separate mechanic. [[User:MA Anathe|MA Anathe]] 02:54, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

::It's the concise description that's in error, actually - but it's splitting hairs. Suppose someone has anti-interrupt (Mantra of Resolve etc.) active. If they cast a skill and you use Psychic Distraction on it, the following happens: 1) the target's skill is interrupted. The interrupt fails because of the target's anti-interrupt. 2) The target's skill is disabled. 3) Then, as the foe finishes casting, the skill [[fail]]s because it's recharging. As such, the description should read: ''Elite Spell. If target foe is activating a skill, that skill is interrupted and disabled for +{{gr|5|12}} seconds'' just like the standard (non-concise version). Currently, the concise description cites the interrupt as the primary effect of the skill, then inferring that if a skill was interrupted, disabling occurs. This is not the case. It's semantics. By the way, Power Block uses what appears to me as a player the exact same mechanism, and its current wording is incorrect for a different reason. ~[[User:Seef_II|Seef II]] &lt;[[User talk:Seef_II|◈]]|[[Special:Contributions/Seef II|۞]]&gt; 08:42, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

:Did you test this? Because I went and tested it when I noticed the note today, and it worked just as its supposed to... it's possible it was fixed when they removed the delay between the end of the cast and the rez/teleport.

::I admit I haven't tested it recently, but I know it used to work. If it doesn't work any more feel free to fix the rebirth page and mark this resolved. [[User:Misery|<font color="#DD0000">Misery</font>]][[User talk:Misery| ]] 07:37, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
:::I checked this out too and confirmed that Rebirth is working as expected in conjunction with Glyph of Essence.  The bug must have been addressed in a patch at some point.  Thanks for the report though! [[User:Leah Rivera|Leah Rivera]] 23:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
