Not sure if its a bug but its dam annoying and makes using bear impossible in PVP

So on a mag warden using the bear and it gets killed - mag warden is then forced into a summoning bear animation for 2.5 seconds.

While taking damage i cant afford to be doing this waving my arms about rubbish, often being forced into block cancelling the animation and carrying on with my fight bearless.

So the magic morph of this ability actually dose nothing other than force you to re-summon it, This is just a hindrance and often results in death, not just in PVP, but even intense PVE dungeons.

isn't it supposed to automatically re summon, with no forced animation?

    No it's part of the trade-off for having a free ultimate


    You get a free ultimate. The trade off is it has to be cast.


    Just like everything else in the game and animation HAS to happen. You don't just get a free ultimate that does everything for you so you have no counterplay against you for being an unstoppable god.

    You can afford 2 seconds if you actually use your skills like a legit player and CC.

    This isn't skyrim. Everything has checks and
    balances. You know, like a actual MMO

    Have you ever played a warden? The bear is supposed to resummon if it dies instantly and without an animation once per minute. This is a bug if it is forcing the player to do the animation.

    Edit: only the magicka morph, not the stamina morph.

    I agree, the bear should resummon itself without needing an animation on the warden's part. Its called eternal guardian for a reason and the tooltip clearly states that the bear revives itself.

    Definitely a bug, I made a thread about it a few months back. No official response yet...

    I think the trade off is losing an extra ult slot for an "OK" single target dummy/duel ult with the AI of a toaster.

    This bug has really annoyed me to the point where I stopped using my magwarden and switched to my stamden.

    Too many times have I been stuck summoning the bear when it died. Absolutely the worst if there is some mechanic you were trying to do when it happens.

    I bet a lot of players don't really notice. Hopefully we can have a nice fix soon.
