Guild Wars 2

So I’ve just been testing a glassy life siphoning build in the mists and can’t seem to get the 6 point set to work (At 10% health become Mist. 60 second cooldown) on the runes and am wondering if it’s a bug or if the runes share cooldown with other “When reach X% health” procs such as Last Gasp (At 50% health gain Spectral Armour. 60 second cooldown) and Decaying Swarm (At 25% health gain Locust Swarm)

I’ve also tried using a blank build and trying to get it to proc, and while it does turn me into mist, I don’t get the invulnerability.

Wondering if it’s just an issue with the PvP version of the runes or if the PvE versions also suffer a similar fate?

Runes have been needing a revamp for a while, currently they are just… most of them are not worth taking because of Internal cool downs.

PvE versions of the runes are fine, I used to use them a lot. I didn’t notice a problem with them whenever I went into sPvP, either. Something you have to remember is that they don’t activate when you fall below 10%, they activate when you take a hit when already below 10%. So if you are at 15% and get crit for a lot and instantly go down the runes won’t trigger. That’s how all %-hp based triggers in the game work, though, so definitely intended.

A quick search of the Bugs forums finds these threads:

The % health reactives seem pretty hit or miss across the board. Sometimes they work, some times they dont. I use lots of them too, and just roll with whatever I get.

Hmm… So it looks like the Mist itself is hit or miss (Whether it’ll actually give Invulnerability or not, it seems consistent in it’s removal of skills(

It also appears that it may share Cooldown with the Minor Trait Last Gasp (Which will proc at 50% life and so will nearly always occur less than 60 seconds before going down to 10%) thus making the 6th rune redundant in any build that goes 15 into Spectral trait line…
