When do "...of the Boar/Bear" Shaman skills kick in?

Might of the Bear gives physical resist but I don’t see it on my sheet with Savagery bound to Mouse1. Is it only active when you are striking someone? And if so, for how long? And now that’s got me wondering the same kind of question about Tenacity of the Boar.

For Savagery bonuses (might of the Bear, Tenacity of the Boar, Storm Touched) to come into effect you ned to have Savagery charged up. One Savagery charge will make them all work. So while in battle you will allways have these effects but not when standing Idle.

Charge your Savagery and then check your character sheet.
