I am not reporting this as a bug, but as a discussion so please do not move this thread.
The sets bonus are nice but seem to be very finicky on how it's used. The buff lasts for 10 seconds does not seem to be accurate as Ive seen the buff drop by 2s instead of 1s. I am not sure but is the timer on these weps affected by recovery, and feats that reduce encounter time affecting it in anyway? The buff by far does not last long enough anyways with how little bonus affect you get from it in the first place.
---
Lifestealer- This is fine I have no problem with it except that it seems to proc 2x's more often then the rest.
Tainted Attack-Does not produce a lot of damage, and sometimes hitting for 175 damage. Not thousand but just 175... This buff is affected by DR so you need a lot more armor pen for this to be more effective.
Impeding Death- This buff will 9/10 times disappear before the adds are killed. Damage from what Ive seen can range from 2k to 10k
---
Now while this set does need some work and improvements on it damage wise, among a few other things; is that this set is triggered ALL the time outside of combat. If you use a encounter or are thrown into combat by a GF spamming ITF, it will auto consume your proc/buff. Then you have less than 10 seconds to get into combat with adds and use this buff. But by then it's gone or is of no use to you. If anyone else is having issues or can explain some things to me like the time dropping by two seconds. Or provide some ACT charts because my PC cannot handle running ACT very well. Otherwise I would do it.

The buff is rendered useless for no reason and you don't have it when you most need it
EDIT: Just for clarity, the client doesn't track the time... it just reports what it is told the time is. If it gets told that 2s have elapsed, that's what it reports.
OTOH, if you want M11 weapon, dunno if mirage set will deal more dmg
And about how the bonus is triggered - i think it should start after you deal dmg, not after you use an encounter. This, if true, should be indeed reported as bug, IMO.
Theese buffs are just a bonus to the set. I think theese weapons are really fine and easy to get comparing to relic weapons.
