Greetings everyone!
This is my first post in the forums (even thought I used to lurk here a little), so let me do a quick intro.


My first and main character in the game, as probably many of you is a necromancer.
I played during the first week, then took some time off after finding some Orr skill challenges bugged (I wanted to complete the entire world, I’m back since things are fixed).

Right now I’m playing as a support necromancer (I hope I’m not that rare), I mainly use wells and marks. My current trait points distribution is: 20 Curses, 20 Death Magic, 30 Blood Magic.
I played with a minion necromancer until level 30 but the little guys didn’t help me that much and sometimes they actually almost killed me, wells in the other hand (except for the really long cooldown and small uptime, are really good).


Ok, That’s all for the introduction, now here is the problem.

My current set has the superior rune of Dwana on it (it’s Mhenlo’s armor) and My secondary weapon has the Superior sigil of water.

Maybe I’m not paying enough attention since I usually tested it on wvw but I can’t seem to activate the 6th bonus of the runes when using mark of blood or attacking with the weapon that has the sigil of water (it has 30% activation rate but it never procs)

this is the 6th bonus of the Dwayna rune:
“When you use a healing skill, you and all nearby allies gain regeneration for 5 seconds. (Cooldown: 10s)”


Can anyone who has a support necro and both runes and sigil mentioned help me test this?

Wich one of those skills count as healing for the runes to proc?

  • Sigil of water (on the weapon)
  • Mark of blood
  • Well of blood

Also, necros with any other healing skills that with to test this are welcome.

Thanks everyone.

Anytime any trait says “when you heal” or “healing skill”, they are referring to what you have as your #6 slotted heal.

I see, it’s just a skill explanation thing and they sould not work anyway with any of the skills I said except the well of blood right?

The weird thing now is that I just used a well of blood during the wvw and no one around me got a regen. Can anyone test this? Does this have a really small radius? (I was at the guy side anyway)

I will try later the following healing skills: Consume conditions and Prayer to Dwayna. Would the blood fiend minion also count as a “true” healing skill?

it only goes for the number 6 real heal skill i got a support necro having it go off from every healing skill you got would be insanely overpowered.. 10 ticks x5 sec regen 50 second regen on a well of blood ? meh if only

if i can give you a tip ditch the set it aint that great i like to run with 3monk 3 water wich gives 30% increase in boon duration wich goes for retaliation/stability from lich/regen and +10 to healing.. much better investment then that junk set..

oh and tested the set it does work it gives 5 sec regen like its supposed too.
