Guild Wars 2

The trait line says that it increases the duration of all symbols by 2 seconds now.
Is this supposed to affect the hammer symbol as well or is the trait only supposed to do the 50% duration that it had originally?

I’m interested too.
When this change from 50% to 2s was introduced?

The +2 second change was introduced in Oct 15th patch – but as you say doesn’t seem to apply to Symbol of Protection, which still uses the old system – which is funny because it’s the only one that would benefit positively from the change.

It used to be +50% rounded down, so traited you’d only get an extra second out of Symbol of Protection.

Most of the time you’ll still get perma-protection from the auto-attack chain with it traited – but those who like to reposition in between strikes for maximum effect will likely suffer the loss of the extra second. ( this affects Protector’s Impact too btw )

if SoP have that extra tick the damage boost would’ve been real nice
