Incendiary Powder duration

taking incendiary powder gives 5,25s burning. with grenadier trait there is a condition duration increase of 30% whicht should lead to another tick of burning.

in fact, this doesnt happen. maybe a bug since dec10 patch?

even with full condi duration runes + sigil of smoldering it only ticks for the 5,25s (so 5 burning ticks) what should be at least 7s (7ticks)

did anybody experienced the same?
dunno but i believe it worked before patch…

i just tested if shrapnel (gives 15,5s of bleeding) will work with it, it won’t.
should be somewhere near 20 secs, but stays somewhat above 15s

quick test with other condi duration makes me believe this is an issue of the trait itself, since no condition will get its duration increased

If I’m understanding you correctly, you’re looking at the already condition duration modified tool-tips of Incendiary and Shrapnel. You should examine the traits before you invest the points into Explosives and modify the durations.

The base burn duration on Incendiary Powder is 4 seconds. Adding 30% condition duration from the Explosives traitline yields a 5 1/4 second burn.

The base bleed duration on Shrapnel (and Shrapnel Grenade) is 12 seconds. Adding 30% condition duration from Explosives makes it a 15 1/2 second bleed.

Hope this clears things up.
