Guild Wars 2

Hi all, i noticed this last night on my flesh golem whilst fighting marsh drakes.

The golem gets poisoned by the drakes’ AoE and the icon comes up as expected with a white edge which decreases with duration of the DoT. However, when the white edge had gone the golem was still losing HP to the poison DoT- the effect persisted after it should have expired.

In addition, despite not being in combat, the golem did not regen HP at all while poisoned.

Also, in some cases the poison debuff continued until the golem died and I counted between 14 and 22 ticks after the white edge had gone (the golem died at these points so i am unable to say whether the poison would have lasted longer).

The DoT seemed to vary also, even with the same (respawned) mob, in one case being 42 HP per tick, 72 in another and 77 in a third- the DoT ticks did not change in amount of HP loss once applied; the golem did not lose 77 HP per tick if it started with 42 HP loss per tick and there were no ‘critical’ messages.

In another case, the poison DoT persisted after its duration but the golem was able to regen through it.

Needless to say that this same poison DoT killed the blood fiend as it cannot regenerate HP.

When i exposed my char to the same marsh drakes’ poison AoE, the timer counted down normally and stopped yet it continued on the golem with the variable results as above.

Please can this be tested and verified/disproved as i doubt i’m the only necromancer to have experienced this problem.
