Skill Timers in IA Not Working Right

minnowfaun · May 7

Tonight in IA the timers were not working correctly for the warden lotus morph (should be 60 secs) and the templar rune (should be 25 secs.)

When I went to NM after, the rune worked fine. DN check lotus.

Pic of rune showing well over 25 secs.

do you have the one vision which buffs major/minor effect durations (extended favor)? this applies to both debuffs and buffs

when ive gotten like 4 stacks of that buff, ive had armor skills last almost a full minute up from 20 seconds (other secondary effects usually dont last as long though as its only supposed to apply to the major/minor buffs/debuffs)

I did, but each time I triggered the skill the timer was inconsistent. For both the rune and the lotus which I had placed in bar 1 position 1. No other buff or debuff timers changed.

The rune animation on the ground would disappear after 25 seconds.
On first press of lotus it would lock in at 1m and it wouldn't count down. On second press of lotus it would lock in somewhere between 1 and 2 minutes and sometimes it counted down and sometimes it didnt'

As vampire 4 I did get to test lotus out on an isolated npc and I took no healing. I checked my stats and lotus showed minimal healing if any at all.

Also rune stopped working after 25 secs no matter what the timer said.

I should have put all this in my first message. Thank you for asking.

from my experience it sounds like about right

the extended favor only buffs the major/minor buff portions of those skills

so for example with the lotus, the healing is not part of any major or minor buff and will wear out in the standard time, but the crit buff it applies would last for the full extended time

the same would go for the rune, the healing/providing sacred ground portion is not a major/minor buff so its not extended and would run out in the expected time but the major resolve the skill provides would last longer based on how many stacks of extended favor

i initially thought it meant that the extended favor would extend all aspects of the skill, but it only extends the major/minor buff portions of the skill
