Guild Wars 2

so i bought superior rune of lyssa beacouse of the 6th efect and only beacouse this efect that dont work!!! i mean whaaaaat?!? it says when u use elite skill lose all conditions and gain all boons for 5 sec .. i seriosly hope that its a bug and that it will be fixed soon cause this is getting me so angry!!!

now i realized that it works with a different elite but not with supply crate…. does anyone know if this is a bug i seriously hope it is :/

Sorry peal, read the bug section at the end of each page before you buy: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rune_of_Lyssa

• The 6th bonus is not triggered by the activation of transformation elites including the Guardian’s Tomes although if these transformations are ended prematurely, the effect will take place.

• Supply Crate does not trigger the 6th bonus.

• Condition duration from the runes isn’t reflected in skill tooltips, but it does correctly increase duration.

It is a well known bug that it dosn’t work on Supply Crate, why it’s still not fixed is another question :b

Well that sucks. I find that a lot of our skills & kits act very strangely with other mechanics. Maybe it’s because the coding for them was sort of MacGyvered from existing skill mechanics without fully accounting for the differences our kits and such bring. Supply Crate is just dropping a bunch of our non-elite items (medkits, turrets) at once and calling it elite. Which it is, but I’m thinking the game code reads it as a bunch of non-elites instead of 1 elite. All supposition of course.

Another bug for the engineer and his only useful elite? Well… let’s make another greatsword skin.

The 6th bonus does work for you if you don’t use any of your Engineer Elites, but use non-transformational racial elites… which really sticks it to you if you are a human—which I am .

I have one Elite out of 6 that would trigger this effect, hounds of Balthazar, which isn’t that great. I would recommend checking the wiki before buying any runes just because there are some pretty serious bugs in a few that seem to be very good.

The Lyssa runes are mostly used by people in Condition Damage builds (Firearms trait line) who want to extent their conditions for an extra tick, and now that the Giver’s weapon bonus is working, someone could get +30% uptime from just 2 runes, and 2 weapons, no food, no sigils (which are more specific) and nothing in the explosives trait line.

If you want to keep the first four runes, I would recommend using the Sup. Rune of water for the other two, giving you a +15% boon duration, which will help with your random boon sustainability, and whatever else you are using it for.

ahh im really gonna start reading everything about the things ill buy.. in meanwhile im just gonna use charzooka cause i really dont want to waste this epic runes. I just hope they will fix it.. thank u all for replies

this is why everyone ought to roll asura and join together with a massive Golem assault on Lion’s Arch.

^ signed & supported. Golems ftw!

Here is another related bug:

4xSuperior Lyssa runes don’t trigger the random boon underwater, even if you stow a medkit, but the same thing works well above water.

I actually just made the same mistake. I already was using 2 Runes of Lyssa for the duration, and to mix things up I bought another four to try and see how it would feel on my Supply Crate. Hypothetically, it works as an excellent ‘Get out of Jail’ card, but this bug puts a stop on that. I submitted a bug ticket, and I think anyone who ran into this sort of thing should as well. If nothing else, I hold a faint hope that they might try and help me out with a roll-back to my previous armor or something.

Sadly enough someone posted a bug on centaur runes and that one got a reply already. People (including me) have posted the lyssa rune bug on the same section, but it still has gone unnoticed. :/

I’d never put Lyssa runes on an engineer, but this is good to know just in case.

Precision, condition duration, and a boon on heal to game with Medkit? Even more if you pair with Altruism.

Not sure what’s a no go here, although personally I have switched from Condition builds.

The reason most won’t take 6x Runes of Lyssa Halcyon, is even if it worked on Supply Crate (the only good Elite we have), it’s a very loooong CD Elite skill, and we wouldn’t get as much out of the 6th runes as say Warriors or Necromancers

Which is why I didn’t suggest taking 6x Lyssa? I did say 2x Altruism!

Yeah, but I do think timidobserver.7925, comment was meant for 6x Runes of it! I personal run with 2x Lyssa for the duration, and I’m sure 4x + 2x Altrusim can be quite fun as well!

Actually none of the runes that trigger on use of an elite skill work with Supply Crate. So this not only applies to just rune of Lyssa, but also of the Mad King and Monk, as well.
