The ability you gain to turn into a mist when falling below 10% health isn’t working very well in SPvP, as it has trouble triggering because it kicks in so late.

Different from the Superior Rune of Infiltration which also triggers at 10%, but will leave you invisible in a downed state.

I think it wouldn’t hurt anyone to raise the trigger percentage to 20 or 30%, so it might see more use. Someone with 15k health would trigger it at below 1500, but more often than not will you receive burst damage exceeding that number, making the 6th rune of vampirism redundant.

Am I the only one who believes it should be changed to 20 or 30%, instead of 10%?

P.S. Yes, toughness would help, but the idea is to make it more attractive to people no matter the build, whether bunker or GC.

Maybe 20, but here’s a better fix: have it not interrupt the current cast. I use 5x vamp 1 x ogre because I’m sick of that thing interrupting a life saving heal.

If it worked like the old Mist Form, it wouldn’t interrupt your cast. This would probably be at the bottom of their to-do list.

Still, worth mentioning until they get around to fix other runes, like the Superior Rune of Strength 6th ability.

While we’re talking about this Runeset …

Have you ever tested out the 2 piece bonus in conjuction with the 4 piece bonus? The 15 second cooldown will stop the 4 set bonus from activating on heal, rendering the set useless past the 2 set bonus.

This ALSO applies to “leeching” sigil as well. Swap weapons while this 15 second CD is active, and it won’t activate!

Most worthless set in existence for this game. Do not use this trash. As it’s one of Arenanet’s MANY gloriously stupid oversights.
