Poison doesn't work at all

For those that don’t know, poison currently doesn’t reduce the effect of heals a majority of the time. Basically, the debuff doesn’t work. It’s been bugged in this way for at least a month.

How can such a huge bug remain in the game for so long?

Can you imagine if Mortal Strike, Wound Poison, or any other healing debuff didn’t work in World of Warcraft? Does anyone doubt Blizzard would have fixed it within a couple hours, even though PvP wasn’t that game’s focus?

How about if Grievous Wounds didn’t work in League of Legends? How long do you think Riot would take to fix that?

Guild Wars 2 can’t become a successful e-sport if fundamental mechanics like this one are bugged for so long.

Hey all! Poison is indeed not currently working as intended (though there are some instances where it will still reduce healing). We’re aware of the issue and it will be fixed in an upcoming patch.
