Guild Wars 2

I have been playing the necromancer for a few weeks now and I really like it, but the one thing that annoys me is that condition durations and bleed durations aren’t applying on my skills, the only thing that is giving duration is sigil of agony, the trait hemophilia does not increase any of my bleeds durations, krait runes are exactly the same, is this a known bug or is it just on my character?

All the bleed runes/traits/foods/sigils seem to work for me, and I have tested all of them quite a bit. Once you hit 100% duration you get no further benifit, but I have never seen the skills just not work.

What are you basing your criterion on for “not” working?

The easiest thing to do, is use blood is power on a mob, with no duration increases, once it is on the mob, mouse over it and it should read 29 seconds if you are fast. Apply your traits or runes or whatever and check again. It should go up duration on the next cast.

None of the trait, rune, or food increases on duration will show up in the tooltip. They are still working, but they don’t show.

I have 15% bleed duration on my runes, 10% on my staff and 20% from my trait, but it still shows the bleed duration is only applied for 8 seconds on my mark of blood

Ahh right, it still applies? I stopped using them for a while because i thought that it just wasnt working, thats a releif then :P

One thing to note:

If you want to increase bleed duration, you need the full second of bleed for it to tick. In other words, a 10.4s bleed will only tick 10 times.
