Guild Wars 2

I recently purchased a set of these runes for my engineer. Upon activation of my healing kit/turret, the 4/6 proc enables: " After using your healing skill, your next attack skill steals health." This gives me a buff icon on my ui telling me that the next attack lifetap is active as intended. However, if I use my medkit underwater with only 5/6 runes active (didn’t have the rune on my breather), the buff no longer appears on my buff bar, AND the 4/6 ability no longer procs the buff on land or in water until a full relog. I don’t know if this is a UI bug or an actual non working bug. I haven’t had time to test that yet. I plan to test if this bug occurs with the rune also on my breather to rule that out.

Regarding the 4/6 bonus no longer proccing after having used the medkit under water and then exiting water, un-equipping and re-equipping your armor should be a better and quicker workaround than relogging to get it to work again. Also, switching to your Towns Clothes and back works the same as un-equipping all armor and re-equipping them. Having a key bound to toggle Towns Clothes helps accomplish this quicker than opening Hero Panel and swapping to Town Clothes and back. There are other issues of rune set bonuses no longer working due to some action that doing this swap has allowed them to function again without the normal relog required to get them to work again.

This rune set seems to be having the same issues as Runes of Vampirism in terms of set bonus #4..

Thanks for taking the time to test this issue out! I look forward to your further testing results.

Thank you for the update. I was unable to test this last night due to WVW being queued and I did not want to relog and lose my spot. I’ve just retested this, and can no longer get the bug to occur. This is with or without the aqua breather equipped. Also, last night I’d added the rune to my aqua breather in an attempt to fix the bug. That may have been what fixed it after relogging. My intuition leads me to believe that if the aqua breather has a different rune, it may bug the 4/6 on scavenging rune. I’ll keep track of my actions if the bug occurs again. In the meantime, I will try your work around if it does occur. Thank you for your time.
