Hi all,
This post assumes that one has the trait V in arcane (Elemental Attunement). It also involves (but doesn’t require) trait VIII in air (Inscription).
Has anyone noticed sometimes (not always), switching to earth attunement and casting Glyph of Elemental Harmony does not always result in getting any additional protection boon (other than the protection granted by Elemental Attunement trait)?
This is even more costly if you invest in the air trait “Inscription” since the glyph is not giving the boon at all.
I have tested this by trying to cast the glyph both during my attunement swap (i.e., start casting in one element then attune to air before it finishes) and after I already attunement swapped. Both ways result in the inconsistent bug sometimes.
I find that this is a useful way to get a decent duration of Protection when you’re taking a lot of hits, but the fact that it doesn’t work sometimes can be very costly
It may be buggy with other boons too, by the way, but I notice with Protection because it is usually a short duration boon that I am inclined to notice more since it is useful for survival.
