Reproduction Rate: 5/5

Steps to Reproduce:

1. log in
2. unlock strength of earth
3. train strength of earth till you can stack multiple times
4. build a buffing deck with Strength of Earth as a locked glyph
   
5. stack strength of earth by hardpressing (press and hold as stacks increase) the locked glyph till it increases in stacks and mouse over the glyph to see duration

grr, I cannot repo. When I stack it is showing the correct time on the stacked buff icon. This includes the strength buff.
Can you try restarting the client to see if it still happens? Maybe there is something unique to this.

"Stacking buff glyphs increases duration but doesnt illustrate on the tool-tips" of the glyph on the combat bar to be more clear.
Mouse over the glyph on your combat bar as you "stack strength of earth by hardpressing the locked glyph till it increases in stacks (can also be done by the old way of stacking glyphs) and mouse over the glyph to see duration". Like I did in the pic with the red circle around the "4".

I showed the screenshot of the buff icon showing the "correct" duration. And I showed the pic of the glyph on the action bar "not increasing" as it stacked by pressing the hotkey and holding. You will notice the +# str and -#focus will increase but NOT the duration. The correct duration is shown on the buff but not the stacked glyph. Notice the duration that is underlined in RED on the pic I posted.

This:


21 minutes is wrong for a 4 stack, it should show ~44minutes

To do this, you need to create a "buffing deck" and do it from combat stance. I will add this to the steps to be more clear.

I hope this is more clear
I can see how this got confusing, I even confused myself as I read it lol

 

Oh! So I was stacking, checking the buff icon at the top left of the screen, and seeing the number did get correctly multiplied in the tooltip.
I don't think that number where you are seeing it has ever changed. It's just like hovering your mouse over the glyph and seeing the general info on it.

@Lexie
but the +str increases as it stacks, and the duration doesnt (on the glyph tool-tip on the hotbar)
