Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I was playing around with Necro runes in the Mists and sPvP and noticed something. +Condition duration runes, such as Superior Rune of Lyssa and Superior Rune of the Nightmare, etc., do not do anything for condition duration.

I was looking at a 10 sec (baseline) bleed, with no gear on it was 10 seconds when I hovered over the debuff on the mob (and counted to 10) it was 10 seconds. Now, when I put 26% condition duration runes on, it was still 10 seconds…It should be more like 12.5 secs.

Furthermore, the stat window in the character screen does not update. Nor does the tooltip on the action bar reflect the increased duration.

Note: This is in contrast to when we spend points in our + condition duration tree (Spite). That DOES update and DOES work.

If I’m missing something, let me know. If this should go under the sPvP forum, let me know as well.

I read somewhere that those runes were bugged, would be interesting to see if the bug applies to the giver’s gear as well, since i don’t know of too many people who actually run givers.

From the bugs forum, an ANet post a few days ago:

Giver weapons also seem to be bugged. I was rather disappointed when my two new Giver weapons didn’t increase my bleeds at all. Had to buy some new weapons quickly.

It would also be nice if tooltips would update with all duration increases tbh.

AFAIK, Giver’s weapon’s and armor duration buffs have not worked since they were first released.

Why ANet hasn’t put Giver’s “on hold” until they are fixed is baffling.
