Guild Wars 2

I was testing the duration of the activated burn on VoJ on HoM dummies. It appeared to give less than 5 sec (only 4 ticks), which is the stated duration. I tested it again in conjunction with Sigil of Doom, which gives 5 seconds of poison on next hit after a weapon swap. When the two conditions were applied at the same time and with the same hit, the poison clearly lasted longer and ticked for damage more .

Can someone else please confirm that the activated burn on VoJ is less than 5 seconds (regardless of condition duration traits); or in the alternative, explain to me the discrepancies I’m seeing?

You aren’t crazy. I believe I see a bug in activated VoJ as well. I made a thread about it as well. It didn’t’ garner much attention though. I’m not really sure how it’s supposed to work nor can I make a video of it to see the damage so I can’t follow up with any real evidence.

The tool tip shows VoJ at 5 seconds. If it ticks every second, there should be 5 ticks in there somewhere. A video capture of it would allow you to slow down and see the positions in the burn cycle where the ticks are occurring.

Maybe there is someone adept at making vids willing to prove either way?
