Guild Wars 2

Anet,

It just came to my attention that fury does not last actually 4 and half seconds as the tool tip says. It starts at like 3 and a half or so. I even used all 3 of my meditations at once and it only last 12s rather than 13 and a half seconds.

I just tried with a stopwatch and it seemed to be the correct duration. How did you test this?

hitting all of my meditations at once and while hovering over the fury boon so there was no delay

I can confirm, they last 3secs. I’ll check shortly in pve.

Edit: But when I use all 3, the fury duration is around 11 secs. So that seems right. Hmmm

Sometimes the duration of effects is rounded down to the whole number. Skullcrack shows as 2 seconds post-nerf and it was 3 seconds pre-nerf, when in reality it is 3.45 post and 4 pre.

It’s best to use some external method to find the true duration, such as a stopwatch or even better a video recording and some sort of video manipulator with an accuracy of at least 0.1 seconds.

The game DISPLAYS the lowest whole number on buff descriptions. So at 3.9s duration left the mouseover for buff will show 3s. Before the buff expires it should display 0s for 1 second. Same thing applies to conditions and any modifier really.

That’s why popping one buff shows 3s and popping 3 will show 11s.
