Guild Wars 2

I couldnt really figured out what that 20% means (and 15% from traits).
Is it per second or per hit? Because 20% does just doesnt seems to be true.
Most of the time when a battle begins the boons get triggered but after that most of the time probably not. Im playing with shortbow (good attack speed and a lots of hits), but most of the times I have to hit something more than 20times to trigger that ignite again, which doesnt happen because the mob is already dead. So in my calculation means its less than 5% per hit or less than 10% per sec, and I even put the +15% trait which should give me a 35% chance.
So how does it work?

From my own experience with that spirit I would say that the burning effect have maybe a 10 sec cooldown, starting from the moment you apply it.

The burning isn’t working right in my XP. Whether it’s a hidden CD or just bugged as all hell, I just use a different spirit.

I dont think so. It happend a few times (very few) that I apllied burning before it expired.

I also use stone spirit, but its the same thing. Its triggering right at the start when actually noone is hiting me and when I need it, almost never trigger.
