Adrenaline - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Additional note. I have lost adrenaline getting attacked, rather than gained it. When getting struck I generally lose a "little" bit of adrenalin per attack. I've noticed it particularly with different flavours of devourer. Not a "full" measure, but a tiny little bit. It does add up though. Sometimes it takes me a lot of extra strikes just to charge a skill.

To toss out a question about adrenaline...

Adrenaline skills aren't stopped by Distracting Shot, right?

Mario 64 Master · May 22, 2005, 01:55 AM // 01:55

Depends what skill specifically. Any skill that has a casting/swinging animation (cleave, evicerate, executioner's strike) can be interrupted with an interrupt skill. For skills like watch yourself, it can't be interrupted because it just happens instantly.

Whether a skill is adrenaline based or not doesn't tell you if it can be interrupted.

In the arena, I've been using Distracting Shot on warriors using Sever Artery and then it seems like 5 seconds later they're using it again.

The problem is, you need to time it so the arrow hits as they're taking the swing, and before the swing connects. By the time you see the "sever artery" icon appear in the view, it's already too late to distract them. Swinging a sword has a refire of 1.33s base, and you can only interrupt during the swing animation, which is a fraction of that time. Distracting shot requires 3/4 second to charge plus air time, making it impossible to actually distract a sword attack skill (or a 1s cc spell) without essentially predicting what's going to happen.

Asrial · May 22, 2005, 07:56 AM // 07:56

Gotcha. That makes sense. I'm trying to stop a quick fire attack, not a charge up like rez signet or something.

Slade xTekno · May 25, 2005, 05:37 AM // 05:37

Does attacking while enchanted by Illusionary Weaponry generate adrenaline?

taion · May 25, 2005, 06:11 AM // 06:11

Attacking with IW generates no adrenaline.

This is incorrect, being attacked never removes adrenaline and taking damage always gives adrenaline, though less than if you attack successfuly. However there are skills that can drain adrenaline or prevent it from being gained, Sympathetic Visage, Soothing Images, etc.

I believe it's also Balthazar's Spirit that makes you gain energy and adrenaline when taking damage.

Sever Artery is another adrenaline skill that warriors get. it only cost 4 adrenaline to use. so it that 5 seconds that you gave them I'm sure they were able to swing that sword 4 more times.

Samurai Kun · May 31, 2005, 08:01 AM // 08:01

Oh so it only gains when you make succesfully attack? Sometimes it feels you get it while you take some damage. Because when in PvP, if I rush into the enemies I get killed but my adrenaline is full on every 4 skills. And I have hitted once or twice whitout eny adrenaline rasing skills. It's good when I get resurrected I have full adrenaline and I'm ready to empty my strikes to a monk.
It just feels like I get adrenaline when I'm under attack...

Shmash Witdaclub · Jun 01, 2005, 03:41 PM // 15:41

Has anyone else ever had a problem where they have been on a mission and their adrenaline never went up at all? I tried to use berserkers stance and that yell to try and get it up and it never moved. Being a hammer warrior this was very frustrating considering i could never really do my job on these missions.

This has happened to me at least 4 times. I /bug every time it happens so the GW crew will read about it.

Arvydas · Jun 01, 2005, 04:57 PM // 16:57

maybe they evaded your hits, so u get no adrenaline gains from landing hits.

Prowler250 · Jun 01, 2005, 09:12 PM // 21:12

When my friend joined my guild, his adrenaline stoped chargeing even when attacking, when he left it started chargeing up again. Any reason for this???

Shmash Witdaclub · Jun 03, 2005, 03:23 PM // 15:23

There is no way that mobs throughout the entire mission evaded my attacks. It still has only happened to me the 4 times, I hope it never happens again. I just think that there may be some sort of bug here.
