Serpent’s Disdain Bug

Hi,

sorry for the german ingame text, but you will see the problem!

There is a bug with this set.
I play it only on my backbar with an ice staff and with elemental susceptibility. If i cast the skill i get 4 status effects on my target with 20sec duration each (acutally only 3, coz minor brittle is something special). If I then switch to the front bar, then 3 effects (minor brittle, chilled and concussion) remain at the original duration, but burning jumps to only 4sec after the new proc of elemental susceptibility.
There is the same problem with barbed trap.
You could now argue that the new procs from elemental susceptibility proc on the front bar without the set and are therefore shorter, but why do the others stay with the original duration?
In addition, there is the ESO rule that if the effects are the same, the longer duration lasts.
The same is true with minor breach. You can see that caltrops proc minor breach on my backbar. If I then switch to the front bar and do surprise attack to renew minor breach, it doesn't jump to 4 seconds, but remains at the original duration. So the eso rule is followed here.

So please fix it!

    Can anyone at ZOS or players confirm, is this intended behaviour or indeed a bug that needs fixing?

    Wanted to use this set

    if your only backbarring the set, it makes sense

    ele sus reapplies the bonuses every 7.5 sec, if your serpents disdain is only backbarred and is not active when it re-applies, it will not get the bonus

    you only get extended status effects when serpents disdain is active, so even though the first application of the status effect was with serpents and is 20 sec, the 2nd application overwrites the first and would then be the normal 4 sec if your serpents disdain was not active

    if you were not using ele sus and had other skills which applied status effects and did not have those same effects on front bar, then it should be fine since you would be overwriting any of your own effects and would get the 20 sec duration out of it

    Another bug with this set:
    Dark Shade Skill from the Nb triggers only 4sec status effects. This concerns Minor Maim and Minor Magickasteal. Minor Maim I can understand, because in this case it does not result from a status effect, but Minor Magickasteal should definitely jump to 20 seconds.
    if your only backbarring the set, it makes sense

    ele sus reapplies the bonuses every 7.5 sec, if your serpents disdain is only backbarred and is not active when it re-applies, it will not get the bonus

    you only get extended status effects when serpents disdain is active, so even though the first application of the status effect was with serpents and is 20 sec, the 2nd application overwrites the first and would then be the normal 4 sec if your serpents disdain was not active

    if you were not using ele sus and had other skills which applied status effects and did not have those same effects on front bar, then it should be fine since you would be overwriting any of your own effects and would get the 20 sec duration out of it

    That's not right, sorry!
    As I wrote in the initial post, there is the ESO rule that if the effects are the same, the longer duration counts.
    That means, if you get 20 seconds once, then those 20 seconds will tick through, unless there is another source with an even longer duration or your opponent takes counter Skills of course.
    You can easily see that it is a bug because the other status effects of ele sus remain at the 20sec, although they are also renewed every 7.5 seconds.

    Just Burning is buggy. Hemorrhaging also jumps back to 4sec, but that is explainable, coz the effect becomes stronger.
