Guild Wars 2

I tested it with a friend who put exactly 3 long-lasting conditions on me. Traited it very clearly only removed one condition. When I removed Consecrated Ground, it cleared the three conditions with no problem.

Presumably this glitch occurred when they changed the functionality of purging flames to remove three conditions and add the -33% condition duration effect, whereas it used to only remove one condition when you entered and exited the field. However, consecrations traited with Consecrated Ground are treated as different skills (which has another bug associated with it, but whatever), so presumably they forgot to completely change the functionality for the traited Purging Flames skill.

Ah nice find.

When you activate Consecrated Ground it actually swaps consecration skills to ground targetted alternatives, so as you are probably correct that it’s legacy code.

I am therefore curious if:
a) -33% condition duration is broken too
b) it exhibits its “old” behaviour of allowing multiple condition cleanses by running in and out of the circle repeatedly.

Good catch. Fortunately I never run that trait unless I’m using a bunker build in sPvP and in that case I only use it for Sanctuary. It’s bugged for that skill too, but I like that bug (it increases the duration of Sanc). =P

It used to decrease the cast time too, but they fixed it.

happy days

If you ask me, the trait should do a little bit more anyway. ;>

That sounds like a pain to test, so I’ll probably just leave that to someone else. :p
If it really doesn’t decrease the duration, I wonder if that applies to Hallowed Ground’s boon duration as well. I know that displays the 20% boon duration icon at least, I’m not sure about Purging Flames.

As for running in and out of the circle, from what I tried it didn’t remove any conditions.
