How exactly does Lingering Curse work? I’ve eliminated all trait points and trait skills except for the 30 pts in Curses necessary to activate Lingering Curse and the trait skill itself. I also removed all gear that increases condition duration so that the only cond dur increase I am getting is from Lingering Curse. Base poison dur on Putrid Curse is 4s and a 33% increase would make it 5.25s (rounded down from 5.3s) However, the actual duration is 6s. Likewise, on Rending Curse and Blood Curse, the base duration is 5s for both, 33% increase should make it 6.5s (rounded down from 6.65s), but the actual duration is 7s. Can somebody plz explain this?
