Guild Wars 2

I was experimenting with a support build to grant party buffs of might and fury from the moa and stalker + spirits to team. I noticed this trait is bugged.

I tested this both in combat and out of combat. Despite any boon duration buffs and taking Concentration Training the Red Moa’s fury only lasts 15 seconds on both the ranger and the pet. Boon duration is NOT increased by NM II at all. The tool tip stats 19.5 seconds but it does not last this long.

The Stalker’s 5 stacks of might lasts 10 seconds on the ranger and 13 seconds on the pet regardless if concentration is taken, both in and out of combat.

The Fern Wolf’s regenerations lasts 21 seconds in combat on the pet, 13 seconds on the ranger with concentration training. I get 17 seconds on the pet, same duration on the ranger without concentration training.

Also these F2 skills will ALL fail regularly and randomly if the pet has no target. Also activating a boon skill sends the pet to the target.

SYNOPSIS:

Boons applied by pets with and without concentration are all messed up, fail randomly with no target, force the pet to run up TO the target (making the skills useless if you want the pet to just cast them on you or the group) and provide durations that are shorter or don’t match the tool tip at all.

Yes this is true, I noticed it a bit earlier. But please post it in the BUG forum: http://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/support/bugs

That’s where they are watching for bugs way more than here. Also, put it on the wiki page for the trait. Also, use /bug ingame to notify ANet directly.

So order of importance:
1) post it in the bug forum: http://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/support/bugs
2) use /bug ingame and send in the report and maybe attach a screenshot.
3) post it in the ranger forum
4) update the wiki page

Concentration Training is in Nature Magic… You’re sure you’re not using Compassion Training right?

All of the “training” ones are currently bugged, your pet has to enter combat before he recieves his bonus’ from traits. if you swap to him mid combat this means you cannot fire it off right away or it forfeits the buff. In order to make sure he is in combat he has to make a move/shot towards your target or listen to your first command (like attack) then you will get it. I have been complaining about this exact same issue w/ Malicious training.

to test use the training dummies in the mists, it should be easier that way.

This, it’s stupid as hell, i wish that the training was just buffing the pet instead of making it in combat…. would be a lot better.

Its nature mastery, I corrected it. Thanks for the point out.

To add more information this trait bugs even if the pet and ranger are in combat.

I tested it and can confirm this, the other training traits seem to be working though.

Seems that this would be a good time for all of the “training” traits to get a review.

Malicious Training – +50% Condition Duration (MM)
Pet’s Prowess – +30% Crit Damage (Skirmishing)
Agility Training – +30% Mspd (Skirmishing)
Expertise Training – +350 Condition Damage (WS)
Concentration Training – +50% Boon Duration on pet boons (NM)
Speed Training – Non-F2 skills recharge 10% faster (BM)
Compassion Training – +350 Healing Power (BM)

So far, the only bugged one is Concentration training. Or did you mean consolidating stuff? Each Training skill is in the tree that boosts their secondary stat: condition duration on Marksmanship, crit damage on skirmishing, condition damage on wilderness survival, etc.

The trainings you listed i feel are all fine (concentration training was working), however i feel Rending Training, Stability Training, etc should be like the others where it DOES NOT require them to be a specific Family.
