Guild Wars 2

Hello there,

I never played much with boon duration until recently, and decided to go all-in at the weekend with a traveler/water/monk rune combo for +45% boon duration, as well as the Nature 30 for a total of +75%. With that setup, Nature’s Voice spam, together with Call of the Wild and Healing Spring make for a fairly nice stacking of regen/swiftness, and some pretty fury uptime. Also, lightning reflexes provides 17s of vigor, and dodges provide 3s of protection each time, yay.

Anyhow, that wasn’t much the topic. The thing is, i was trying to get more boons through pets. First port of call was increasing the fury uptime, and thought i’d use a Red Moa. First surprise: the F2 tooltip (erroneously?) reports that my personal boon duration applies, pretending that the angry bird’s F2 is going to give me over 26s of Fury. Needless to say, that’s not the case, more like 14s. Bugged tooltip i guess? Same goes with the other boon-giving pets: blue moa reports 7s of protection but gives 4s, and jungle stalker doesn’t provide the 26s of Might it pretends.

Second, what’s up with the Red Moa screech? I swear once every 2/3 attempts, it goes on cooldown without any Fury being given. It’s not range, i made some attempts with the Moa by me, and it’s not summoning sickness, i made repeat attempts with the Moa with me for a while. Any heavy Moa user here that knows what’s going on and if there’s any trick to actually getting it to work?

already reported this 3 weeks ago in bug-report forum.

I’ve run into that with the moa, what I’d suggest is making sure you have target selected when you hit the buff, if its still not working switch pets and switch back.

Cool. Can’t seem to find it though. Would you have a link to it by chance so i can give it a bump?

Working as intended (since launch tm).

The Ranger’s Boon Duration does not effect their pets, Concentration Training is the only source of extra boon duration for pets.

It’s a very glitchy trait too.

Yes, i didn’t expect my boon duration to apply. The tooltips do apply it though, so they should be fixed to avoid any confusion.

But what grates me is every time i get 0s Fury with F2 still going on cooldown. This one is really irritating. I get better Fury uptime from the Moa taking a beating (Beastmaster’s Bond) than from its own F2 skill for crying out loud!

My jungle stalker’s F2 sometimes goes on cooldown without giving might, so it’s probably a bug for all the pets that give boons. Anyone reported that bug in particular?
