Guild Wars 2

Master of Terror trait – wiki and in-game tooltips say it should increase Fear durations by 50%.

This is the first I’ve used the Trait so I don’t know if my expectations are off, or what. But the trait appears to do nothing for my Fear durations. Without the trait, (standing in Lion’s arch) my Staff #5 tooltip shows a Fear duration of 1 1/4 seconds. I equip the trait and the tooltip does not change.

In WvW last night, I had a combination of Runes, food, 30 spite, and this trait which should have put me well over 100% duration (or AT 100% if it is capped there) for my Fears, yet my tooltip was showing only 1 3/4 sec for Fears. And it was ticking damage only once in combat.

Am I doing something wrong? Anyone else notice this?

well the devs dont give a kitten about anything that is not working outside the mists so it wouldn’t surprise me.

Tooltips not updating is not proof of a bug.

well the tooltip not updating is a bug, but it’s a different one…

Tooltips never update with condition or boon-specific increases.

Actually you’re wrong , when i go 100% condition duration all my spells show double the duration in increments of 1/4s duration.

a lot of skills do not update their tooltip when traits effects are applying
bleed on scepter always show as 4 seconds but it last much longer for eg

Mine’s been like this for weeks.

First of all, the tooltip does normally update to reflect condition duration.

Secondly, at least for me, the application also remains the same.

Fear is still being affected by condition duration from pizzas and the Spite tree, but not things like Runes of the Necromancer or Master of Terror that specifically increase fear duration.

I’m guessing that you’re using things like Super Veggie Pizza and the spite tree bonus? Those grant general condition duration, which does update tooltips properly. What Drarnor is talking about is traits like Hemophilia, or bonuses from things like Runes of Dwayna (for regeneration) that will not update the tooltips properly.

Just toying with Master of Terror in PvE, I’m seeing an increase from here.

It does work, I’ve just barely got 100% fear with it, and I always get 2 terror ticks, even applied by itself.

Still bugged for me.
