Guild Wars 2

Can we get some kind of feedback as to WHEN a passive action will take place?

For example: the ranger skill Signet of Renewal. Its passive ability is every 10 seconds, it removes a condition.

It would be really nice if on screen or on the skill itself it displayed when this action is going to occur. So if I have confusion on me, I can analyze the situation and see “Ok, the passive is going to activate in 2 seconds so it would be a waste to activate the signet right now and blow the 60 second cooldown.” etc etc

This would help me and I am sure others a ton.

This is in the nice to have but not needed category for me . More oft than not the passive 6 times is going to outweigh the active once in that same time anyway .

This is nice like Adine said but not needed, I just pay attention to my conditions, I know if I just lost one and the timer wasn’t up on it then I know that I have 9 seconds till another one drops. If it is that detrimental that I lose the last one I use something to remove it otherwise I am careful if it is confusion or and just let it stay.

That is what I am guessing part of the skill involved in the game, it requires you to pay attention, unlike in some games that have an “Idiot light” that tells you when to use skills when you have something wrong ect ect. From my experience most your good players know the timings, if your running PvP of any type and your wondering if you should pop a signet or wait… your answer is.

• have confusion on and you can spike
  use signet
• have confusion on and your running away
  let passive do it’s work
• have condition on that will kill you and your running away
  use signet

although I assume your talking about pve so
