Guild Wars 2

Phantasmal Fury duration was nerfed from being up 100% to 5 seconds, which gives you 1 “furied” hit, unless of course your phantasm does some running before, then its 0 furied hits.

The Trait in its state (and being one that actually uses up a trait slot) is useless.

This makes it worthless in PvE, and PvP.

PvE as your sustained damage was nerfed

PvP as phantasms generally spend a long time running around before actually doing their damage.

I was under the impression it was a refreshing boon every 10 seconds and up for 10 seconds?

Tested : Yes it is. This is thus in no way a nerf. This is in fact a buff since when it’s stolen it’s replaced within the next 10 seconds.

Yeah, it seems a buff. Oh noes, the devs are listening to our complaints about the stolen 2h Fury, quick, let’s make 15 whine threads! :P

So why does it never come up again on my phantasms?

After it goes down, it never comes back up, at least on my phantasms.

Also the patch notes didn’t mention this?

Report it as bug then.

That’s definitely a bug then. It’s widespread reported as working for people. I tested it myself. I would recommend going to the heart of the mists and refunding your talents and just spending 10 points and getting the talent and checking if it’s up. There’s a possibility your particular talent setup is creating a conflict somewhere, wiping it.

If it is that’s really valuable information for us to have to avoid replicating it until Anet fix it.

It is due to Phantasmal Healing.

ARGH

So not only does Phantasmal Healing not work well to begin with (it should be 3s duration / 3s recast on all Phantasms IMO, not 5s duration / 10s recast on all but the Duelist, plus it should be cast the moment the Phantasm comes out), it also blocks other boons.

sigh

I wonder why this is such a problem, tbh. I don’t see why our illusions should have issues that they can only have 1 boon on them, it’s not like any other entity in the game has that issue.

Agreed!
