Guild Wars Wiki notes

  • Ray of Judgment scatters heroes in both normal and hard mode. In hard mode, all NPCs will scatter from it.
  • Recharge of "Brace Yourself!" was lowered from 12 seconds to 4 seconds.
  • Activation time of Signet of Creation was lowered to 1 second.
  • Spirits summoned by Signet of Spirits suffer an AI glitch that makes them idle during battles. They often delay several seconds between each attacks due to targeting priority script (which prevent them from attacking the same target of any ally spirits), and usually doing nothing at all against single target when you control a massive number of offensive spirits.
  • Spirit Siphon should be self-targeting to function properly. But if you cast Spirit Siphon while targeting anything out of your spell range, it will make you run to the target to cast even if the spirit is adjacent to yourself. If the nearest spirit is outside of casting range from your target, Spirit Siphon will fail.
  • Kun Shao will not give out tournament reward points for the May tournament to most people.
  • This update introduced the following bugs, which were fixed in the June 19th update.
    • "We Shall Return!" bypassed Frozen Soil.
    • The Flux Matrix damaged party members.
    • Equipping "Brace Yourself!" (PvP) caused the client to crash.
    • Order of the Vampire gave the stolen health to the caster instead of the attacker.
    • Signet of Spirits' recharge time was left at 10 seconds instead of being increased to 20 seconds as intended.
    • Signet of Binding had a bug which prevented spirits' defensive effects from being applied properly.
    • A bug prevented players from receiving credit for completing objectives in the Random Arena Zaishen Combat quest.
    • The descriptions of all Blood Magic and Death Magic well spells have been changed, however the functionality of these skills has not been changed. Concise and verbose descriptions of Blood Magic and Death Magic well spells were appended with "You do not sacrifice Health if there is a fresh corpse to exploit.". In verbose descriptions, "Exploit nearest corpse to create a Well of [Name] at its location." has been replaced with "Create a Well of [Name] at your location.". In Concise descriptions, "Exploits a fresh corpse." has been removed.
    • "Incoming!" (PvP) has the wrong skill description, stating that "For 4...9...10 seconds, all party members within earshot take 33% less damage.".
