I have to take some of the blame for this trait not being addressed so far.

After a year-long effort to try and get Radiant Retaliation fixed (it eventually got stealth fixed without ever being acknowledged as being broken by anet), I didn’t feel like another long struggle to get a really broken grandmaster trait fixed… so I posted the bug in the Revenant forum and asked someone else to go and post in the bug forum that it was broken.

Somebody listened to me, and posted this amazing post:

Searching for Pulsating Pestilence in the bug forum only gets 2 results. That thread, and this one. Even if the change to torment was intentional, the problem with the duration is an enormous problem in its own right.
