Guild Wars 2

I thought they were changing how the runes functioned because the previous (6) did not work when a companion was active. Did they fix the runes or is this an oversight because during a ready up we were assured they were changing the 6th slot for the rune set… Adding 2% more damage to a bonus that was not working previously does not improve the rune set… Anyone with info on this?

It was bugged before and provided a permanent 5% even if you didnt have a companion. They simply fixed it so it now only works if you have an active companion. So essentially they made it useless for everyone except minion necros and rangers. Which is a shame because it was a good precision based alternative to scholar runes. Now there isnt one.

woah, it actually works with minions?

Yeah. It might work with clones aswell. Havent tested. I also assume it works with consumables like ogre whistle and ember. But those have such high cooldowns now I wouldnt rely on them to get the bonus.
