I put a sigil on one of my weapons that increases a duration, yet when I looked at the duration on my skill bar for that weapon it doesn’t show a change.

Is it supposed to show a change in the seconds for a specific condition for that skill, like the traits show up the changes in blue?

The Sigils that add condition duration should show up in the tooltips. I tested that in the Mists with Cripple, Vulnerability and Bleeding and they all showed up just fine.

However, Sigil of Force (+5% damage) has never shown up in any form. The +crit% and +condition damage% sigils show up in your Equipment submenu stats.

Specifically the Superior Rune of Smoldering. It is 20% burning duration but it doesn’t show up as affecting my skill that causes this at all.

I think you found the reason most players don’t use that Sigil…..

Condition duration increases rounds DOWN to the next lowest FULL second. Burning is typically so short it takes a LOT of increase to meet that criteria. (you would have to be applying 5s of burn to use that Sigil and get any increase).

The fractions do still show up in the tooltip, though. The OP says it’s not happening with Sigil of Smoldering.

I tested it in Heart of the Mists and observed that the tooltip changed even with a 1s burn duration, showing a 1.25s duration with Sigil of Smoldering.

In the tooltip the duration is rounded up/down to the closest quarter of a second.
Examples ; 1.1 secs will show as 1 sec, 4.4 secs will show as 4.5 secs.

When using the burning skill only full secs r used, so 4.5 secs only does 4 secs of burning.

@OP; what skill(s) r showing wrong durations according to u?
Btw, the weapon with the Smoldering needs to be your active weapon.
