"0.00 run speed for 10.00s on target Ignores buffs and enhancements unresistable"

I just noticed this at the bottom of Spectral Wounds' combat attributes, but I was just fighting even and +1 Freakshow minions who had no problem fleeing, so, is this just an overlap from a PvP effect, or am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?

Hmm! I have been playing nillusion contorlles for years, and IM not aware that Spectral Wounds has ever had impact on run speed in PvE or PvP. I assume that the attribute doesn't actually work the way it sounds like it does form the description.

Well, 0.00 run speed sounds like no effect to me... +5.00 or -5.00 run speed (or something like that) would be a buff or debuff; 0.00 just sounds like a printing glitch and no actual effect.

I team with the Repeat Offenders.

I'm not certain but it sounds like the run speed effect is just a sneaky way to get the glowing aura graphic to show up on the target, indicating that it is still under the effect of the illusionary damage.
