Guild Wars 2

Hello!

I’d like to know if the sixth bonus of this rune (the ravens summoning on elite skill activation) procs on the flesh golem “charge” skill… or just when I summon the golem

Any necro tried it yet?

Thanks in advance!

That’s an awesome, question, I didn’t think of that..

Not sure myself, but I do have full mad kings..

I just bought a full set and I’m waiting before using it.

All Elite skill activations happen on the summon for our minions. Not the minion skill activation.

It sucks really bad for us.

That’s a bad news. But maybe it’s a bug and it’s going to be fixed?
Anyway, I’d like to hear it from someone who actually tried this rune

They work for both last time I’ve tested them in the mists.

They have cooldowns though you know.

Last time I tested runes regarding elite skills it didn’t work for the Flesh Golem Charge.

I have tested charge with Rune of Lyssa and it works sometimes and sometimes not. What I noticed is that if you are interrupted during your own animation (when you point at someone) but the command has already gone and Golem charges, it doesnt activate the rune even though the ability goes on CD

I used the Lyssa Runes and here’s how it appeared to work.

The activation of the Golem charge WILL proc the 6 piece elite activation from the rune, but it is based on the cooldown of the Elite summon – not the cooldown of the charge.

Thus, assuming you are using a 1 minute cooldown Elite like the Golem summon, you can proc the Elite activation rune bonus every minute. You CAN’T proc it every 40 seconds which is the cooldown on the Golem charge.

Thus, you will have to estimate whether the rune activation is available or not because you won’t know for sure by just looking at your elite skill button when the Golem is already summoned.

I suspect the same is true for the Mad King Rune. The Golem would still be the best elite option for necros because of the shorter cooldown on summon.

Mad King runes work on both summon and charge, I have the set.

Thanks Aexrael that’s great news! Does it work every 40 secs (the “charge” recharge) or every minute (golem summoning recharge), like SPESHAL says?

Cooldown is 45 seconds for Ravens, says so in the description.

I know the internal cooldown of ravens is 45 seconds.
But what the description says doesn’t really matter, with so many bugs around. What SPESHAL said regarding the rune of Lyssa and the flesh golem makes sense, did you read his post? So, can you confirm the effect actually applies every 45 seconds when you use the charge? (Charge cd is 40 secs so we actually would have to wait 5 more seconds after the cd is complete, of course) Or does it proc every 1 minute, like the golem summoning?

Yes, I did read his post. And yes the rune works as advertised, the cooldown is 45 seconds, it can’t be used more often than that.
