Guild Wars 2

Based on the notes from the 15th…

“Rune of the Pack’s on-hit effect now works properly.”

I also noticed the tooltip ingame mentions that it has a chance to grant might, fury and swiftness when struck.

1. Does this only proc when being attacked, and the tooltips were fixed to reflect so? Or does this proc on on your own attacks? Thanks for any clarification.

2. I assume that it proc’s all 3 boons every time on proc, and it’s not one of the 3 at random?

Just figuring this out before I decide what runes to buy. Thanks!

you’re correct on both accounts. Only procs when you are hit, and it gives all 3.

Most runes only proc when you are hit. Sigils are the ones that proc on attack. There are some exceptions, but they are few/far between.

Keep in mind that Gemstones and Crests will have higher stat bonuses on them than runes (But lack fancy secondary effects) and may be preferable for you to upgrade your gear with.

Thanks for the info, I’ll definitely keep that in mind!

Last question I forgot to ask.

3. How long does the duration of the boons last?

I was going to post the same question when I saw this thread. Anybody tested how long the boons last?

Bumbing for justice.
How long do those boons last?

It’s very late atm, I have full rune of the pack on my character and will check tomorrow morning for duration. (approx. 7ish seconds, I think. Will check exactly tomorrow)
