Hi there. I thought this was just the dungeon, but I’ve recently tested it in the world, and it has the same issue. I’m in the Fort Aspenwood server, if that makes a difference… and I’m a necromancer (currently).
Putrid mark states that it transfers conditions from allies to foes when triggered. I assumed this mean if they were in the mark (as this is how it’s worked before Aetherblade patch). I recently noticed (due to the excessive conditions from the Aetherblade dungeon) that it does not work as intended.
Putrid mark will transfer conditions from ME to the enemy, but NOT from my allies within the mark.
It’s really easy to reproduce. Get a friend, get them conditioned, lay the mark down on them and the enemy (hey, you can put them in front of Mai, too, but they might die before you can mark the floor!). The conditions won’t transfer. I also tried putting myself within the mark, and the conditions stayed on my poor Mesmer buddy who was nice enough to be the guinea pig for this (it DID transfer off ME, but the mark says “allies” and I use it for support!).
For the record, I tested it on the spiders in Gendarran Fields, but mostly within the Aetherblade dungeon.
Also, in the Aetherblade dungeon, Reaper’s Mark does NOT work on Mai. Reaper’s Mark does NOT fear Mai, nor does it take away a defiance like it is supposed to. It does not do the additional damage it is meant to for those who are traited for it (like I am), because it is, essentially, not going through at all. It’s just like, “oh look, a mark on the ground, ho hum. no worries. no damage. no fear.”
…I don’t know how to video in game content, so… can’t provide a video. But the point is that the marks aren’t working as they should be.
