Guild Wars 2

Just thought I’d test this again since it’s been a known bug for a few months and a lot of stuff like this was fixed in the last past. Unfortunately, rune of strength 6th bonus of 5% damage when you have might still does not apply.

What method did you use to test this?

I plan on testing it on my Mesmer tonight in the Mists.

1. Use two sets of steady sword/sword with Superior Sigils of Battle (Might on weapon swap)
2. Swap weapon sets when the Might from the Sigils of Battle expires
3. Auto-attack medium armor dummy

• Perform test with 5/6 Runes of Strength equipped to get baseline damage
• Retest with 6/6 Runes of Strength equipped and look for increase in damage

Yep, the 6th bonus for Superior Runes of Strength is still broken.

I did the test I outlined above and only saw damage increases due to the stacks of Might. I did not see any damage increase when under the effects of Might.

Mind Slash Damage

                     Might Stacks
Runes           0         3         6
  5/6            34       38       41
  6/6            34       38       41

Whether or not I had 5/6 or 6/6 Runes of Strength equipped my damage was consistently 34, 38, and 41 depending the number of active stacks of Might.

I’m bringing this thread back, but does anyone know if the Superior Rune of Strength is still bugged? I’ve been testing this out and it seems I’m still getting the same damage :/. It’s been a while now that Anet hasn’t fix this bug, surprisingly.

Just did some tests myself to confirm and yep, still bugged. Come on ANet, get your act together!

I wonder that what time Anet will fix it.

So it’s still broken right now?

I have no had the guts to test this, I bought the rune set the other day, and now I am concerned about using them, as I have read reports that the 6th Bonus doesn’t work. Any updates?

Bump, is there any actual info on that? I plan to switch to those runes if they fixed ofcourse. Can’t find anything regarding it in latest patch notes.

Just tested this rune in the mists with a steady rifle on my engi (zero trait points spent, no pvp amulet, no sigil, just the steady weapon and runes). Here are my results (rifle auto attack):

- no 6th rune, no might: 95
- no 6th rune, with 1 stack of might: 98
- with 6th rune, with 1 stack of might: 98

Seems to do nothing… still…

Just wanna ask if this bug had been noticed by the authority?

I tested this rune last week with auto attacks under ‘for great justice’

6 rune and 5 rune got the same average damage (deviation about 1%)

plz fix it : <

“Dev Response” in another thread on this issue. This rune and the Superior Rune of Rage are added to their tracker for being looked at and fixed.

I tested the Superior Rune of Strengh today in the PVP training area. The results indicate that the 6th bonus is working correct now. =D

Can someone else confirm?

yeah can somebody confirm if it has been fixed? didnt see anything in the December’s update’s notes, or maybe Im not that good at finding stuff.
