I’ll just copy-paste my guru post:
“Haven’t tried the armor, can’t be bothered to, but it’d be nice if someone could check those, too.
So, I have a giver dagger and it’s not increasing condition duration on either my utilities or offhand dagger skills.(I’m a nec)
It could be because I am already specced into condition duration with my traits, so maybe it doesn’t stack, or it could be that it doesn’t work altogether. Whatever the case, avoid buying one until they’re working.
With Blood is Power (30 sec base bleed on foe) and Enfeebling Blood (10 sec base bleed on foe(s)), my +30% from traits puts that at 39 sec and 13 sec, respectively. In the tooltip with or without the dagger, it says 39 and 13. I figured maybe this is just a tooltip bug, so I tried it out. Nope, still got 39 and 13, when I should be getting 42 and 14."
I’m slightly disappointed, Anet. It doesn’t seem like it’d be hard to test and it’s a let-down to see holiday content not working when it could’ve been checked so easily. Please fix this ASAP, I’m finding all sorts of uses for the +condition duration, but I don’t want to make any more giver weapons until it’s fixed.
