That doesn’t have anything to do with PvP matches.

What’s really strange is how it works in the lobby but not PvP matches. I have no idea what explains that.

The lobby uses the PvE/WvW balancing style. E.g. Revealed lasts 3 seconds instead of 5 in the lobby. I suppose that has something to do with it.

I can confirm that this is the case, was trying to use it the other night.

Uh it worked for me!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

OP you are wrong. It works.

Lopez.7369:

In PvP matches? Are you guys sure you’re not mixing it up with the two-piece or sigil?

It’s pretty easy to test. Just hop in a match and heal. If the buff doesn’t pop up, it’s not working.

Have you been in combat when you tested it?

Heal turret procs the 4th bonus. I do know the F1 heal on engie doesn’t for some reason. Haven’t really messed with the rune set on any other classes.

I’m guessing the 4th set bonus only counts certain things as heal skills.

It proc’d in matches.

I was watching Hiba’s stream one day and he said on an ESL it clearly showed it not working when the casters were going over builds. Later he dropped a turret in Foefire in the beginning of the match and it worked.

I haven’t watched that closely to see if works every time, but I have seen it go off in games before.

Lopez.7369:

Are you trying it in PvP matches?

I tried it on my engineer and it didn’t work with Heal Turret in PvP matches.

Besides, if it only counts certain things as heal skills, it wouldn’t work for Consume Conditions in the lobby, WvW, PvE, etc. It only fails in PvP matches.

Consume Conditions is the 6th util same as Heal Turret. By certain things I think it may not proc on F-skills or things that only give regen.

Lopez.7369:

That’s not evidence it worked at all. The leech could have procced from the two-piece or sigil as he happened to heal.

Nope. Leeching sigil only works on weapon swaps, not dropping turrets.

EDIT: I have seen it proc in matches. No one was attacking me. I used my turret and voila leeching symbol on my boon bar.

I just did. It proc’d.

Seems to me like you don’t understand buggy =/= completely not working.

Try getting killed in a pvp match and see if it stop working.

Lopez.7369:

I doubt it. Every other player I’ve talked to said it doesn’t work. I don’t think you’re testing it in PvP matches.

Yeah, right. You weren’t brilliant enough to realize sigils don’t proc leeching the same way.

I joined a practice lobby, healed, and received the proc!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

So when I join a new map with Scavenging Runes already equipped, I did not receive the leech proc icon when I healed! Then when I equipped a different rune and reequipped Scavenging Runes, I got the leech buff! It is indeed bugged but at least you can fix it!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

The actual match!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

I also want to say that even if you swap to get the 4 piece to work during the warmup, when you die in the match and respawn, the 4 piece will stop working again and you can’t swap runes in the middle of a match! Very sad!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

I’m not really sure how you came to that conclusion. There’s no need to get aggressive or insulting, though.

Anyway, hopefully this gets a fix in the next patch. My guess is it’s somehow related to the same thing that makes it break in PvE.

Dude you are the one who became insulting calling me a liar.

The fact that it works for some people DOES NOT MEAN ITS WORKING FOR EVERYONE. It’s bugged, not completely broken. Instead of shouting at each other try comparing the situations you used it under to see what it is that makes it bug out. For instance, was your armour damaged? Did you try unequipping and reequipping the runes and/or armour pieces? What class were you using? Which healing skill? It could be anything for all we know, and if we don’t identify what breaks it they can’t fix it.

I’ve definitely had it bug out on me. It seems to always work after switching runesets, and then fails at some point afterward following a death.

I suspect it’s related to the old bug where in PvE/WvW, Rune of Scavenging’s heal proc would also break when you broke a piece of armour, and then the functionality would be restored upon repairing.

I try it out it worked when i overcharge turret …

4th BONUS IS LOST ONCE YOU GO DOWN, AND WILL NOT COME BACK UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE MAP/REEQUIP THE RUNES

_________________________________________________________________

Try it, the 4th bonus will work normally after you equip them but then try going down and try using it again, will not work.. that’s the bug. Rune of vampirism has been like that forever

Pretty much what AK said, and this bug really hasn’t been fixed…

Vampirism Runes, and Scavenger Runes both have this problem. I made an official report in the Forum’s ‘Bugs’ section. Let’s hope it doesn’t take months to fix.

Woot! Love scavenger. Thanks!

The fix didn’t went live last patch, did it?

Nope. It’s still broken.

Anet: Don’t worry guys! We fixed the issue! You just can’t play it yet because ha ha!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

Lopez.7369:

It is really weird how slow they are to roll out these kind of changes. This would have been a quick hotfix in any other game. It’s kind of weird they can’t seem to do that, considering how much they’ve bragged about their ability to update the game without taking down the servers.

Your making some uninformed claims here. If if ding the problems cause was time consuming, how can you claim “quick hotfix”? What game do you claim would do it so fast? I can list a long standing bug list in any game you can mention, that any random forum poster can claim should have been a “quick hotfix”.

Are you unhappy that they actually fixed it? I am genuinely curious as to what you hope to achieve by making this post.

Do not know what Q&A and such is doing all day long. But give a OK to a bug fix for runes should not take 2 weeks and more.
