Revenant "Roiling Mist" Trait unintended / unlisted effect?

[Abraxadrian.1769]

Hey so i made a quick video about this. I was playing my Rev after a while and i noticed i got boons proccing off legend swap, and no trait or sigil or rune seem to be the responsible for that. Until swapped specs and traits and found that Roiling Mist had this unintended or unlisted effect!

It seems like some sort of boonproc that is either unlisted, or maybe was a previous version of the trait, or some sort of rework or test that got to the live game? These are not random boons, they seem to be asociated with the legend you just swapped off (Mallyx > Resistance, Shiro > Quickness, Jalis > 2stacks of Stability, Glint > Protection) being the only weird ones kalla > swiftness and ventari > Quickness (i was hoping ventari got regent or vigor, and Kalla might, fury or alacrity.

Anyhow, this seems like an unintended effect? Even so, it would be cool to have this integrated on a minor or major trait of sorts.

Oh, thought this was a class change in general. Guess it is a bug. Guess they better fix it by changing roiling mists to the new effect and removing the complicated and confusing mechanic of doubling fury effectiveness.

It's really depressing though that not even this bug is enough to make Revenant good. And yeah it's most likely going to get "fixed" (nerfed).

Looks like it's giving you the effects of https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Spirit_Boon despite not having it traited...

I wonder though, is Incensed Response still working for you?

They already know about this bug and from what we can assume are planning to fix it. This is kind of old news.

Shiro gives quickness for rm while for sb it gives might. Rm also gives the boons on swapping out of the respective legend while sb gives them on swapping in. Giving quickness instead of might makes bugged rm stronger than simply getting sb for free, plus the protection from glint swap seems a bit higher for bugged rm.

And the bug got killed today.

Laughably, the bug was taken out in the patch notes but it's still in game as of the first patch today.

I don’t think doubling fury effectiveness is complicated. 20% > 40% crit chance seems pretty straight forward to me.
