A quick question on dungeon DR
You will hit DR on your third AC run.
The DR rules are as follows:
1. Path dependant DR: The same path cannot be repeated within 2 hrs regardless of character.
2. Global DR: There is a 4 paths in 2 hrs limit, your 5th path will be hit by DR regardless of which dungeon you’re doing.
NB:
a) The Daily bonus +40 tokens for each path is character bound not account bound but you must keep in mind rule 1 when repeating the same path.
b) DR takes when the final boss is killed/when you receive your rewards, nothing else matters e.g. when you enter etc.
What you CAN do is CoF 1 and AC 1,2,3 then wait around an hour and a half maybe doing non-dungeon stuff e.g fractals/node farming/WvW etc before repeating the same paths on character 2. It is much more preferable to have a full glass cannon team to ensure fast/consistent clear times. Without a consistent clear time you risk running a path too slowly but on your next run doing it too fast and breaking rule 1 while doing the runs too slowly makes rule 2 harder to keep track of.
If you intend to PuG mostly then keep track of the time you kill each final boss and ensure 2 hrs has passed until you kill it on your second character but having to time keep precisely is painful.
