Guild Wars 2

Its seems that with or without the runes the confusion duration stays the same. Anybody else noticed?

What is your +condition duration without those runes and are you looking at skill tooltips or the effect tooltip on your target?

I bought the runes today and noticed that they did not increase my confusion duration as well. I have 20% condition duration and these runes so my confusion duration should be increased by 50%. For Example, the Confusion inflicted by Cry of Frustration on the skill bar and in battle was only 3.5 seconds. However, with the runes equipped (and my extra 20%) the duration of the confusion inflicted should be 4.5 seconds. This is the same with Confusing Images, it went from 5—>6 seconds instead of 5—> 7.5 seconds.

there are caps on the duration of each condition. idk what they are… but an individual condition cannot last past a certain amount of time. Sadly, mesmers will never have a single stack of confusion last anywhere near as long as a single stack caused by a reef drake.

I believe that the cap for conditions is 100% and I am far beneath that at 50% (with these runes). I do think that the added confusion duration on these runes did work when they were first introduced. Though they may have been affected when the #4 skill was fixed… Has anyone else noticed the duration increase working or not?

Tested out the runes again, the +30% confusion duration is still not increasing any of my confusion inducing skills condition duration (I’m a mesmer so there are plenty). Also, I performed the tests with various trait allocations, including no traits at all, to rule out some kind of bug with my specific build. If anyone else is encountering this problem, or isn’t, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Words fail me that i spent over 24g on these runes and they are broken. Not to mention they are more useful on other classes than a mesmer. So i try to salvage them off my armor to resell / get my money back…..using a black lion salvage kit…..oh wait i cannot as they were added to WvW badge armor…….kitten kitten kitten.
