Question re: Spellbreaker and Full Counter

[Biff.5312]

So I was in an unranked PvP match not long ago, and noticed that an enemy Spellbreaker had that glittering bubble indicating Full Counter up 100% of the time. Even when fighting him, I never saw it go down. Is this some kind of visual glitch, a hack that let him keep it up all the time, or is there some way to refresh it really often so you never even notice it dropping that I don't know about?

IDK, but I would say it's probably a visual glitch or something like that. I've had something like that happen on my characters sometimes. An aura would wear off but the visual effect stuck around. It hasn't happened to me very often so this might have been a one off thing.

Its a known visial glitch. I have never seen it personally and i hear that users themselves cannot see it.

Really odd some of you have never seen it (depending on how often you pvp/wvw.). I see it quite often. Waypointing in wvw fixes it, but that's about it. Its rather annoying but in 1 hour of dueling a spellbreaker I had it happen twice. I'm not sure if them going to core and back would fix it, but may be worth a try if you're just dueling someone for fun. In pvp its especially annoying though since you cant do anything about it but just hope you dont hit real fc.

Its called a 'fooled counter' Tricks you into believing that the real full counter is up.
