Guild Wars 2

I was running dungeons yesterday and I found that even with the trait II: Spiteful Talisman which recharges focus skills 20% faster. Usually when I use Reaper’s Touch with Spiteful Talisman trait, the cd was 14 seconds, but sometimes when I used Reaper’s Touch it would be the original 18 second cd.

Yep. Sorry to say it, but the trait doesn’t work properly outside of PvP. Spinal shivers gets the right changes, but reaper’s touch doesn’t get any bonuses. (Even the first time you cast it, when it says 14 seconds, it’ll recharge for 18.)

It’s one of the bugs that annoys me most.

I’d like to add, this bug has been here since launch day and could quite possibly be around for a looooong time.

Also, after the recent change to the focus 5 skill, the trait is even worse: if you take the trait, you will not get the bonus damage for boons removed.

Ugh. Just tested this myself in PvE, and this bug has just made it to the position of Most Annoying. Adding it to the list.

interesting finds, since the range increase is working.

I was wondering why it was hitting for not that much even with 3 boons. Thanks for the find, I’m gonna replace that trait for something else for now.

I wish my decision were just as easy… I like the 1200 range… and spinal shivers main purpose is to remove the boons and apply chill… hmm.

Oh man, really? That’s bollocks! I thought the damage bonus per Boon removed was rather weak after all, and now I know why…

EDIT: Just to confirm. Notice how the tooltip states 14 seconds while the recharge on the skill bar shows 17 seconds? What the…?

Unfortunately the range increase only works on focus 5, afaik. Although the tooltip says otherwise for #4 it does in fact not increase it to 1200. (This might be the other way around, I am not in front of the computer atm.)

Hint: look at casting times too.

this is correct. i think it worked in the mists OK, but not in WvW. i think the tooltip still said 900 too.
