Guild Wars 2

I use Red Moa on my ranger to assist with 100% uptime of Fury.

It used to behave a bit weirdly, I’ll try to explain below.

If I swapped to my Red Moa (after logging in or using a waypoint), ‘Furious Screech’ would give 30 seconds of Fury. However, if I hadn’t swapped to my Moa (since log in or waypoint), I would only get 22.5 seconds Fury.

So this meant, if I logged in and Red Moa was already out, activating Furious Screech would only give the 22.5 seconds of Fury. I would not get the 30 seconds of fury until I swapped to my other pet and then back to my Red Moa.
If my other pet was already out, I would have to swap to Red Moa, anyway, so I would get the 30 seconds after doing this.

Now, after the most recent patch (29/9), I only ever get 22.5 seconds Fury from Furious Screech.

I don’t know if other boon-giving pets have similar behaviour, I’ve really only ever used Red Moa (I have my Ranger built for 100% critical chance).

I couldn’t find anything about this in the patch notes. Does anyone know more about this?

Thanks.

This is because there was a bug where the nature magic trait: +50% boon duration from pet was actually +100% boon duration from pet. But this benefited rangers so it warranted a fix.

It was a fix:

Lingering Magic: Fixed an issue that was causing this trait to be applied twice to your pet.

The trait was giving 100% boon duration for your pet before. Now its down to the correct amount of 50% boon duration.

Thanks guys. Thought it might have something to do with one of my traits. Can’t still use Red Moa for 100% Fury uptime, just have to remember to use it more often. 22.5 seconds Fury with 20 seconds cooldown.
