short question about the minor trait Lingering elements: Attunement Bonuses linger for 5sec.

If i take percing shards (20% Dmg to vulnerable foes) and switch from water to fire, the 20% bonus stays active for 5 sec?

A:

Lingering elements is supposed to work for the 5 point minors in each mastery.
fiery shield thingy on fire, 10% speed air, soothing mist water, toughness earth.

However last time I checked, it didn’t work for the earth and air is hard to notice so not sure about that.

It does not affect those 10% dmg in fire, 20% more against vulnerable and so on . . .
Nor boons from elemental attunument or swap fury, common misconceptions too.

I though that 20% dmg on vul foe is generaly, not on 1 attuement. So yes, you’ll have it…for eternity

WIKI: Piercing Shards
While attuned to water, your spells deal 20% more damage to vulnerable foes.

So its only on water. And 5 Sec after the switch if i’m right.

They should just rename the trait “Lingering Soothing Mist”.

“We recognize that the changes to [ele] will essentially remove it from play. In the future,
we may consider whether or not there is an incarnation of [ele] that would be viable
but balanced. For now, we do not expect it to see serious use.” – ANet
