Guild Wars 2

Nightmare runes work again. But this time the 4-piece bonus correctly adds 10% rather than 20%.

I mentioned this the other day, and Lich runes got the same nerf, if you want to call it that.

I find these sets very uncompetitive now, and those to be very weak 4pc bonuses. 6% duration for 4 pieces? Compare to Mad King or Lyssa you get 10% right off the bat at 2 pieces. No idea what Anet was thinking making these, I had hoped it was just a tooltip error originally and always meant to be 20%.

Well, looks like I’ll have to hope they get Givers weapons fixed for me to run my 100% condition duration build again. Laaaame.

That’s super lame. So I guess the only way to get 100% fear durations in sPvP now is via Necromancer runes. To be fair that’s probably what they intended, but still.

Yeah there seems to be very little consistency among the “item budget” across gear. I wish they would do a passover of all the items. Still though nightmare runes are probably still one of the best runes for necro’s out there.

Although the change sucks for 100% condition duration, you now properly see the amount of Cond duration you have in the hero panel, be it from food, gear or trait. Tooltips seems ok too, but I haven’t look at them all.

So a nice change overall.
