Guild Wars 2

When you die, the 10% condition duration on Giver’s weapons stops working completely. Tested this with Giver’s Pearl Hand Cannon.

A quick fix for the player is to re-equip the Giver’s weapon after respawn.

After some more testing/observations :

The 10% condition duration stops working after being downed already, thus re-equiping after each rally is required.

This is still bugged and very annoying! Especially for engineer who use “Toss Elixir R” for self rezzing. Please make this more priority to fix – I’m already thinking about not using giver’s weapons anymore.

Interesting, I noticed a very similar issue with Magic Find gear no longer working after being downed, reported in this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Magic-find-gear-broken-by-downed-state/first#post1941109

Perhaps the two issues are related?

Givers armor boon bonus also goes away upon death, very annoying indeed.

Plus one! Will a weapon swap suffice or does it have to be a re-eqip? Also can anyone confrim if the bonus goes away or if it’s just a tooltip error?

Bonus goes away, not only a tooltip error. Swapping does not fix this, u must go out of combat and re-equip weapons/armor again.

This bug should be highest priority imo: some bugs are just annoying once per weak – this bug I feel every 5 minutes in wvw/spvp.

Totally confirmed with multiple characters. Since the patch, giver’s armor, lyssa runes, giver’s weapons and sigil of corruption all stop working and being calculated when downed. The only way to get them working again is to completely un-equip and then re-equip. All weapons have to be dragged to inventory (both sets) and dragged back for them to start working again. Really a MAJOR handicap when you can’t do any of that in the middle of a fight. Makes me a sad panda.
