Gyrd Háewanes Sténes dominate never lasts whole duration, any idea why?

Anyone else who uses this often, does the dominate drop early for you all the time too?

Hmm, sometimes the duration is very short, when you graze I think, but sometimes it lasts quite a long time, when you hit or crit. Do you mean that you notice it has a long duration, say 20 seconds, but lasts for a much shorter time? I have noticed this with a Cipher's Puppet Master power in the past.

I haven't noticed this myself, but then I haven't paid attention to it. I'll see if I notice when I next get it.

 

One thing I can think of though: I think that if you charm the only enemy you're fighting, the game prematurely ends the charm. Might this be what you're noticing?

No it's not the only enemy, I'm checking the duration in the mouse-over and I'm also making sure not to continue hitting it.

Huh, weird. You could start a bug ticket.
