Guild Wars 2

I recently tried using this trait for my zerker staff ele in wvw but noticed it did not boost the duration of fire fields generated by Conjure Flame Axe on skills 3 and 4 (if the tooltip is to be believed) even though their actual equivalent skills on dagger off hand and staff do receive the boost correctly.

So I am questioning if the trait’s functionality with the skill Conjured Flame Axe is a bug or working as intended?

PS: I also noticed Fire Magic VII does not reduce the recharge on skills 3 and 4 on the Axe despite the fact that it works on dagger and staff skills even though they are the same.

If this happens to be an old bug and is already documented then I apologize for wasting your time.

Sadly Conjure Flame Axe doesn’t seem to “count” as a Fire weapon skill set, even though it’s pretty clearly fiery. However the bit about the fields not lasting as long is definitely a bug, since the tooltip says nothing about only fields from Fire weapon skills, it should apply to ALL Fire fields.

I see…so Persisting Flames not functioning with Conjure Flame Axe field generating skills is indeed a bug. Thanks for the response.

but auto attack of axe counts as fire spell. and you can stack 2 mights for each atk. (another GM trait)

I believe any Conjure weapon could achieve it as long as you’re attuned to fire

yes all. but only final attack of 1 slot. and axe gives 2 stacks and you can maintaint 25 stacks with it. but…it still useless.

Any skill used while in fire, even on conjures, counts for Pyromancer’s Puissance.
