Guild Wars 2

Ok, this may have been addressed elsewhere, but I cannot seem to find it…

Why is it that the two-handed Giver’s weapons don’t provide a +20% condition duration?

For all other weapon sets that I know, every stat on a two-handed weapon is twice a one-handed weapon (crit damage is slightly different; +9% on a two-handed vs. +5% on each one-handed). This means that for builds that want the additional condition duration, such as dual pistol condition engineers, but love the functionality and look of the rifle, they lose out on a significant chunk of stats. Other weapon choices do not force the player into weapon-specific playstyles. The Giver’s weapons really add a nice stat variety, but I’d like to see it follow the same consistency as that of critical damage or all the other stat choices. Thanks for listening, ArenaNet, keep up the awesome work!
