Guild Wars 2

So, i just noticed that on my staff ele Lava Font only appears to last 4 seconds despite having Fire XI trait. It’s been a while since i’ve messed with traits, but i could have sworn that the trait extends Lava Font to 6 seconds. Am i remembering wrong or is this a new bug, or just a display thing or something?

Unless it is a new bug, it should work fine.

Try leaving the zone and re-entering it after putting this trait in. Some skills do that.

Well, it doesn’t look like it does.

Funnily enough, the duration of Burning retreat seems properly increased, and the tooltip also shows 8 seconds.

You’re using Blasting Staff. It’s a bug that I’ve definitely seen mentioned before.

Check the duration without Blasting Staff?

Blasting Staff and Duration on Fire Fields don’t stack on Lava Font for some weird reason.

It’s a huge thing for Elementalist that’s been around for a long time.

Nope. Tried it out just now, without Blasting Staff the tooltip displays 6 seconds, but the Lava Font still lasts only 4. (It’s easy enough to time with Fire VII)
I’ve had some guildies confirm that they’ve got this bug as well.

Make a post on the bug forums – looks like you found another one, then.

It says 4 seconds when youre out of combat but when youre in combat it should last for 6 even if the tooltip says 4. if its still not then thats something fairly new and id report it as much as you can.

OMG. OP is right. Doesnt work anywhere and with any trait combination.

It is definitely working for me. The only thing that isn’t working properly is that the tooltip for lava font shows a 4 second duration when I have both persisting flames and blasting staff equipped, but it most certainly IS lasting the extra 2 seconds with persisting flames equipped.

I tested with pyromancer’s alacrity (so lava front is at almost 5sec) and fire field ends at the same time that skill is ready to use. Also, I only got 4 ticks at mobs…
For me is not working. How do you test it?
EDIT: Retested, works just fine. Even tooltip is ok. (???)

Okay so, this may work... but I just checked out the conjured Flame Axe’s fire fields. They don’t work with this trait.

It may only be meant to work on standard weapon skills, but in that case I’d like to see the tooltip updated to reflect this. I’m submitting a bug report the now.

Keep in mind guys that only the Fire Field stay longer, not the Laval Front itself. The trait XI don’t increase the duration of your attack, only the duration of your fire field.

I don’ t have any bugs with persisting flames, my lava fonts hits 6 times and my lava tombs 10 times so they both get the correct icnreased duration from the trait.

Only issue I have is with the tooltip showing an incorrect value.
