Guild Wars 2

Has the internal cooldown for on-heal affects been increased from 10 seconds to 15 seconds?

I’ve been running 30pts in Chaos quite a bit lately and taking x6 Runes of the Centaur for +20% swiftness duration and Swiftness on-heal.

However, if I use Mantra of Recovery and wait for the swiftness to have even 1 second left and use my heal, I gain no swiftness. Has anyone else noticed this with Runes of the Centaur or similar on-heal runes effects?

Yeah, but I think centaur runes aren’t worth it. Takes up all your armor slots just to perma swiftness. Better of using a focus and going 100% boon duration so you can perma swiftness, and all your other skills are much better.
100% boon duration =
10% signet of midnight
+15% 2x S. rune of the monk
+15% 2x S. rune of water
+10% 2x M. rune of water
+30% 30 trait points into chaos
+20% chocolate omnomberry cream (Nourishment: 40% Magic Find while under the effects of a boon, +20% Boon duration)

That’s how I do it, and for some reason the focus gives me 24s of swiftness :P

Interesting concept, Henrik. I’ll look into what I can do with that sort of build … though I’m hesitant to take up a utility slot primarily for +10% boon duration … Mesmer utilities are just so good that I’d hate to “waste” it.

I don’t always want to run focus either, though it is a sexy little off-hand weapon.

If you think the tooltip-cooldown (/-informations at all) are precise, you’re gonna have a bad time. Check the wiki for player tested times. Dwayna and Water don’t have their said “10s CD” either.

All the 10s CDs have always been 15s. Some joker at anet just decided to write the wrong thing repeatedly for some reason.

Bah, I had suspected that but had always used Mirror with my on-heal runes so it wasn’t ever an issue. Was trying to “get more” by using Mantra of Recovery only to be sorely disappointed … bah.
