Guild Wars 2

anyone notice that spinal shivers no longer states (in tooltip) that it removes 3 boons…
instead, it applies chill and vulnerability (however, i did a quick experiment and it doesn’t actually apply vulnerability)?

Spinal Shivers: “Chill your target and remove three boons.”

Don’t use focus usually, but tested on undead orr who buff themselves and seems to be removing boons fine.

I remember reading something about a specific trait that changes the tooltip though.

I have never had my Spinal Shivers display the right tooltip in PvE/WvW. In sPvP it shows up right, any other time it doesn’t.

It still does the chill and removes 3 boons. It is just a bug where it displays wrong. Idk why it is still a bug. Shouldn’t be too hard of a fix to change the text.

Similarly, Signet of the Locust, when mousing over the signet on your bar, still displays 10% increased run speed. When it is actually 25%.

Signet of Locust is now fixed. Tooltip now shows 25%.

Spinal Shivers is completely messed up. Tooltip says “Inflict chill and vulnerability on your foe.”

It does not inflict vulnerability and since it says nothing about removing boons, I’m skeptical it does that.

To quote the thread at the top of the forum:

Tooltip Problems________________________________________________

1. (NT0001) Spite trait Spiteful Talisman changes the description of “Spinal Shivers” to “Inflicts Chill and Vulnerability on your foe”. However, this is inaccurate, as it stills “Chills your foe and remove three boons”.

Known bug.
