Guild Wars 2

different from the Minor and Major runes? Both the Minor and Major runes give Boon Duration, but the Superior only gives chill duration. Why is it this way? So you can runt 45% boon duration from Water/Monk/Sanctuary?

No one has an answer to this? I think its the only rune in the entire game that has different stats from major to superior.

Sadly, I think the best answer we can give is “It just is”.

45% boon duration would be OP in PvP and the GW2 is completely balanced around the form of the game that the fewest people play…go figure…

As opposed to 40%? You could get Water/Monk/(water/monk/sanc major) for a total of 40% boon duration. That 5% extra is that significant?

Sigils and runes in PvP often have different, or lower effect anyway to begin with. Balancing it around sPvP is not an acceptable answer.

It is presumed to be a bug, as I don’t think there’s been an official response on it. One of many bugs that runes have. PvP balance is not and should not be a reason for the change as Boon Duration runes give only +10% instead of the PvE 15%. Don’t expect it to be fixed anytime soon but feel free to bug report it until your fingers bleed.

Also reported it long ago. There shouldn’t even be a programmer required to change this if their engine isn’t borked. Seems like they just don’t care.
