Guild Wars 2

I was wondering why the Water Magic Grandmaster Trait Cleansing Water does not interact with the Sylvari racial healing skill Healing Seed which grants your allies and yourself a constantly refreshing source of regeneration? Surely this should provide a source of condition removal and yet it does no such thing. Is this an oversight by Anet or another design choice to neuter racial skills as much as possible? Have they ever said anything on this subject prior to my post? Many thanks for reading!

EDIT: Cleansing Water does not seem to interact with the 6th bonus of Superior Runes of Dwayna which grants regen when using a healing skill.

My guess is that it’s because the seed that pops up is the source of the regen, even though it scales off of your healing power. This is somewhat akin to the Ranger’s Fernhound pet, although that doesn’t scale off of the player’s healing power. The problem is just that you are not the direct source of the regen, so it doesn’t proc your trait.

I think it also does not work with undercurrent.
But I can not check the elem bug thread to be sure, because it does not exist anymore -.-

I just cannot find the energy in me to say it enough times how unproductive it was to delete this thread instead of mirroring it on the bug subforum.

But you are the source of the regeneration for the Runes of Dwayna sixth bonus, no? How come it doesn’t work for that?

I’m not sure; I remember it functioning properly in that regard. You may want to do some more precise testing with a friend before submitting a bug report.

I have tested it with a friend and again on my own in the heart of the mists. In both cases the condition was not removed when I used my signet to heal.
