How does Rune of the Pack work now?

[Lexan.5930]

the 6th rune bonus only occurs once entering combat and never again. Is this intentional?

With reaper getting quickness constantly while in shroud being a thing and 6th piece rune bonuses being an investment could the boons applied to self and allies be applied every 20 seconds to allow other professions with healing ability to be able to provide buffs to allies instead of just the druid?

how nice would it be if you could just swap your armor like you would with weapon, even if it’s just the helm......

 

on a serious note, i think it’s meant for stealth groups that could blow up clones and minions for damage and heals and stealth out of action before re-enter for action

the cd os 20 sec . so every 20 sec you gain it

No, "when **entering** combat" only triggers on actually going from Out of Combat to In Combat.

There's some discussion here on Rune of the Pack in-combat re-triggering. It's a bit wonky for sure. (Start reading about 1/3 way down the page):

I'm really hoping the Rune of the Pack "when entering combat" gets changed to "while in combat". I haven't swapped out my Runes of the Pack for something else just yet because I'm holding out hope that after reviewing the community feedback, this change will get made. But if a few weeks go by and it appears this is how Rune of the Pack is going to be for the long term, I'll definitely be swapping it out for something else.

Does the 6th bonus not pulse in combat? I am very confused

It does not pulse. If it was meant to pulse it would say "while in combat"
