PvP superior rune 4/6[edit]

Here's the data from which I am basing my 15% estimate. I was looking at confusion duration of cry of frustration, and saw the following durations:

  • No domination, no equip, no master misdirect – 3.02s
  • No domination, +10% (2/6 Lyssa) equip, no master misdirect – 3.37s
  • No domination, +10% (2/6 Lyssa) +4% (2/6 Nightmare), no master misdirect – 3.5s
  • No domination, +10% (2/6 lyssa) +4% (2/6 Nightmare) +6% (4/6 Nightmare), no master misdirect – 3.9s
  • +30 domination, +10% (2/6 lyssa) +4% (2/6 Nightmare) +6% (4/6 Nightmare), no master misdirect – 4.8s
  • +30 domination, +10% (2/6 lyssa) +4% (2/6 Nightmare) +6% (4/6 Nightmare), with master misdirect – 5.7s
  • No domination, no equip, with master misdirect – 3.98s

Based on the ~0.5s increase of 3s base from adding the 4/6 bonus, it would appear as though it's adding approximately 15%. I had not checked with anything that was not the PvP superior rune, so I can't say about those. I'll take some additional replicate data and then update with more precise numbers (ie, is it 15% or 16%) ~ Capric 15:18, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Okay, this time tested using death blossom (6x3 data points per condition):

  • 0/6 nightmare 10.05s
  • 2/6 nightmare 10.70s; 6.55% increase
  • 4/6 nightmare 12.05s; 19.9% increase

So based on this, I'm going to go ahead and call 2/6 at +6% increase and 4/6 at +14%. ~ Capric 23:58, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

really seems it should be flipped from pve and pvp, it IS a dungeon reward so it'll make a bit more sense for the real values be the slightly larger number while in pvp, be less instead. edit: seems the bug no longer exists as of now 40% total boon duration on hero pannel in pvp grounds and not getting 2 damage ticks from a 1 second fear with fear dur trait, 30% trait dur boost, and 6/6 of this rune pvp.67.233.98.18 02:15, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Acquistion[edit]

I don't remember how I acquired the rune, but it wasn't via the vendor -- I've only completed the story mode for Twilight Arbor and do not have any TA tokens. 75.36.180.174 18:23, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Possibly through the mystic forge, by combining 4 major runes.

Soulbound (not account bound)[edit]

I can absolutely confirm that Nightmare runes (actually all of the dungeon runes) are soulbound upon acquire (not account bound) if they are gained through the mystic forge. I don't know if this is the same for ones purchased from the dungeon vendors. In fact, I have large stacks of each, that I sure wish I could spread around to my alts.

fear duration?[edit]

anyone able to add how long the fear from 6/6 lasts? fear skills range from 1-4 secs afaik would be interesting to see how long this is (for terror) 94.12.202.165 03:42, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

1 second and also not AoE in pvp 67.233.98.18 02:25, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Useful info - what is the effect in WvW? Is it AoE there? - Uruzet
