Guild Wars 2

great list man.

Are you sure potion of ghost slaying doesn’t work in AC?
Although even if it does it would be lame lol, I only see the extended potion available

It would be nice to know your test scenario.

his potion findings are correct,tested them a while back using the most steady dmg spell i had,doing numerous tries and resets just to be sure.I don’t recommend using any potion in CoE,the amount of silver lost on potions while you swap them 3 or 4 times is not worth it.You have svanir at the beginning,then undead,then inquest,then undead again,then inquest again,then finally undead,and that’s just p1.

Do you mean icebrood at the beginning?

But I appreciate the info, saves my time!

Wukulin, since release extended potion of ghost slaying has been bugged so when you ‘learn’ it, potion of undead slaying appears in your craft menu……Yay for weird bugs…

Does Sigil of Night works any time in dungeons?
Still cant understand the day/night things in GW2. In WoW as i remember there was a clock with server time, very handy since my local time was different. How can i see is it day or night in GW2?

The underground dungeons count as night iirc. Also you can buy a ghost weapon to check too, they will glow at night :p

All the dungeons I’ve said use Sigils of Night in are classified as Night time. I tested these using Ghost Peppers.

Actually they fixed this just a couple of patches ago.

It actually is a Ghost Slaying potion now, however it is really exspensive compared to the other extended potions.

I’ll see if I can find the quote or patch note were they said they fixed it.

Edit:
Found it

Scroll down to items and you’ll find this note.
•The Extended Potion of Ghost Slaying recipe now makes the correct potion.

Well I guess that’s kinda good news…shame it’s so ridiculously priced….I mean charged lodestone? Really!?!

Which potion work on Gravelings?

Nihilus.3015:

Which potion work on Gravelings?

From what I’ve tried/from what I’ve seen on the forums the Gravelings count as Ghost…So therefore Ghost Slaying Potions

That’s why you just use Undead… arguably the most fighting is for SA 3 times.

Exactly, realistically no one in their right mind would use so many potions. I’ve just put it there for peoples info. As Strife said, Undead Potion is all you need for CoE.

Why not sigil of seeking (inquest slaying) for SE p1? It should be better than sigil of the night.

How is sigil of seeking better than sigil of night when they both do 10% damage except night works on everything in nighttime dungeons…

Thought I might push this back to the top again, seeing as there’s now a growing interest in different dungeon paths….finally…

Also, if you have a weapon set with two weapons and you’re in a dungeon like AC, running night/ghost slaying gives you a nice 20%+ damage.

Exactly dude, real nice on Axe/Mace.

It’s 21%, not 20%. Though, ghost slaying is pretty useless in AC since it doesn’t work on gravelings (or does it? that wouldn’t make sense).

I remember reading that it does work on gravelings. I suppose it would have been better for me to give the more obvious example of night/smothering for CoF.

Quickly checked the wiki: "Though Gravelings look like Shadow Skelk, they are considered Ghosts for purposes of kill variety, the Slayer achievement track, potions, etc. "

Dub.1273:

Well the gravelings count toward Ghost Slayer title…..So I assume it does work??

Oooh this game…
Well, brie counts to both, inquest and undead, so why can’t gravelings count to ghosts.

Gravelings don’t count as ghosts and at least Belka isn’t inquest.

Wethospu.6437:

Belka is undead, Brie is undead and inquest. Checked this with endless hours and potions spent there until we took muffin’s thief there.

in terms of time, does the sigil of night work from 6pm to 6am server time?

Manuelito.6081:

There is no day/night cycle in dungeons, some dungeons are always daytime and others are always nighttime. Open world has a 2-hour day/night cycle (mostly day).

I recommend using an AC weapon skin with sigil of the night, as these weapons glow blue when it is nighttime.

yes, I meant in open world and in WvW. Did you mean to say that in open world, including WvW, there are only 2h of ‘night’?

Manuelito.6081:

He was saying that an entire game day spans 2 in real life hours. Of the game day, most of it is during the day.

thank you for the clarification!

Manuelito.6081:

thank you for the clarification!

Here’s the specifics

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Night#Day_and_night

This should have a sticky …

When i have two one-hand-weapons equipped, which means two sigils, can i then combine for example a sigil of the night with a sigil of undead slaying, or a sigil of force with a sigil of the night?
Or can’t you stack +dmg sigils?

yes, you can

ok, thanks for the answer.

Cheers buddy, I’ll edit that all in now!

Are slaying potions still bugged? Giving 10% more damage instead of 10% less?

Syrenead.6327:

I’m not sure if they have fixed that….Havn’t tested it since the update.

I know Wethouspu was the one looking into it originally…

Are you guys sure about Aetherblade? At least on TA I tested them for every possible enemy type.

No idea if potions still cause 10% more damage, probably.

I don’t know about the potion for Aetherblade, but i’ll try to test it tonight if we get it

Very useful. Thanks, Target!

Sticky this!

Are potions still bugged where you take more damage when using them?

Fractals: Skale Venom

If you could still stack venom with pots and food then yes I’d use it….

But you can’t…

The vulnerabilities not worth it, cos the mobs gonnna have 25 stacks anyways. And is inflicting perma weakness worth losing 10% DPS?

Naaaah
