Bug:
The bonus Frozen duration is likely not intended. It should most likely be +15% boon duration like Rune of the Monk and Rune of the Water, as it carries the same lesser rune version consistencies as them and caters to a defensive rune set which generally has defensive boons and boon duration.

What bug? its says: +20% chill duration.

You say it should be 15%? why??

Why is this a bug?

What bug? its says: +20% chill duration.

You say it should be 15%? why??

Why is this a bug?

2 minor sanctuary runes = +5% boon duration (support)
2 major sanctuary runes = +10% boon duration (support)
2 superior sanctuary runes = +20% chill duration (offense)

clearly this pattern is bugged.
it should be

2 minor sanctuary runes = +5% boon duration (support)
2 major sanctuary runes = +10% boon duration (support)
2 superior sanctuary runes = +15 boon duration (support)

This is an intended effect for the Superior set. For balance reasoning we cannot have 3 sets of 15% boon duration.

That would be a VERY odd bug, something like this doesn’t just happen through an oversight.

1st: There is a 3rd set with 15% Boon Duration, Altruism (albeit not for 2/6)

2nd: If you would please shed some light on what precisely that would break balancewise

3rd: There is currently no alternative to Healing Power as a stat in combination with Boon Duration, which is easily fixable by changing Santuary to Boon Duration.

4th: If there are problems concerning PvP, it does not mean such a change couldn’t be approved for PvE. Skills have already been differentiated (it was mentioned on multiple occasions that this is going to be continued), some runes are completely missing from PvP, so there is precident.

Looking forward to reading your response Mr. Chapman!

I’m not Mr. Chapman but here is the breakdown of your points.

1st: There is a 3rd set with 15% Boon Duration, Altruism (albeit not for 2/6)

Runes of Altruism do not exist in SPVP. A lot of balancing is done with pvp in mind.

2nd: If you would please shed some light on what precisely that would break balancewise

45%(30% normally, but if it was made so, it would be 45%) runes + 30% traits + X% Giver’s Stats (+ consumable%?) = 75+% boon duration. Anet Balance usually tries to avoid permanent uptime for protection/retaliation which becomes quite feasible with that much boon duration increase.

3rd: There is currently no alternative to Healing Power as a stat in combination with Boon Duration, which is easily fixable by changing Santuary to Boon Duration.

If you REALLY need the boon duration. you can easily still get 40% from runes, as the majors can still be combined with the superiors. It can allow for interesting synergies (Had tinkered with multiple sets of runes of the flock, 4 sup and 2 major, both had the chance to proc, although they were on the same icd as far as i could tell)

When ground-targetted bone minion explosions become a thing, I will change this signature.- 2013

Because three sets at 15% is 45%. Which is more than you can get with runes at the moment (which caps out at 40% in PvE and 30% in sPvP).

It makes more sense in sPvP since 15% is a rather large jump up from 30% and Altruism doesn’t exist in sPvP.

As for PvE it’s not needed and there’s no reason to make another unnecessary gap between two environments (sPvP and PvE). It’s just more exceptions they have to cross off as they make changes/additions in the future.

Shouldn’t the Water rune be the one with Chill?

The Monk and Water runes are quite similar already.

Well that brings up another question. Why wasn’t the major and minor sanctuary runes changed to frozen as well?

Because the boon duration is only 10%, and they do not have rune 5 and 6 slot, so it balances out.

Reviews for "The Spellbinding Tales of Nora Roberts' Witch Series"

1. Emily - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to read Nora Roberts' novels about witches, as I have enjoyed her other works. However, I found myself disappointed with this particular series. The storyline felt repetitive and predictable, and the characters lacked depth. Additionally, I felt that the romantic elements overshadowed the potential for a strong and engaging plot. Overall, I would not recommend these novels to fans of Nora Roberts or anyone looking for a captivating witch-themed series.
2. Michael - 1/5 stars - I struggled to get through the Nora Roberts novels about witches. The writing style was tedious and the pacing was incredibly slow. The characters were uninteresting and their relationships felt forced. The magical elements were also poorly developed and left me feeling disconnected from the story. I had higher expectations for this series, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. I would not suggest wasting your time on these books if you're looking for an immersive and engaging read.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - As a fan of Nora Roberts, I was excited to delve into her novels about witches. However, I found myself underwhelmed by the overall execution. The plot felt formulaic and lacked originality, and the characters didn't resonate with me. While the writing was decent, it wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster story and lack of character development. If you're looking for a more gripping and imaginative witch-themed read, I would recommend exploring other authors in the genre.
