I’m talking about the Engineer’s Transmute trait for 15 points in Alchemy.
Expected behavior: Activates only when you actually receive a condition (and converts it to a boon instead)
Actual behavior: If an incoming condition is blocked (not sure about dodged or invulnerablity), you still get the boon and the trait is probably on cooldown.
Reproducing the bug:
- Play an Engineer and put at least 15 points into Alchemy (d’uh)
- Equip Toolkit
- Have someone Throw Bolas at you (sentries in WvW work great)
- Block the incoming attack with Gear Shield
- You should have gained a boon (usually Retaliation)
