Guild Wars 2

I’ll keep it short, one thing I can’t seem to find detail on;

For example, if the bonuses for runes go like this…

Rune 1/6 – +25 of x stat
Rune 2/6 – +10% burn or bleed or chill duration (example)
Rune 3/6 – +50 of x stat
Rune 4/6 – +10% burn or bleed or chill duration (example)
Rune 5/6 – +100 of x stat
Rune 6/6 – *inflict (the above cond) on heal/hit etc. for 5 seconds

is the duration of the condition applied on the 6th rune already accounting for the boosts in durations of the 2nd and 4th rune? I’m assuming that’s how it works just can’t find it confirmed anywhere. So the 5 seconds wouldn’t be boosted by a further 30% duration as to get the 6th you obviously have to have the prior runes equipped?

Thanks

1 Rune: +25 power
2 Runes: +25 power + 10% might dura
3 Runes: +75 power + 10% might dura
4 Runes: +75 power + 20% might dura
5 Runes: +175 power +20% might dura
6 Runes: +175 power +20% might dura +bonus effect

for example. each rune adds new stats, it’s not a total.

That wasn’t the question.

The 6/6 effect is likely the base duration. Since it can’t account for possible other duration effects you might have from other sources, it would be more confusing to have the duration from the rune set already baked in, but ignore other duration effects.

So in your example, it would be 6 sec burn/bleed from the runeset alone, plus whatever other extra duration you have.

You need more math lessons. Other than that, I think you’re right.

Yes, corrected it. Couldn’t you have read this after I edited it…?

Now where would the fun be in that? :P

Thanks Naqaj, hadn’t considered that – yes it would need to be the base duration of course…seems simple now. Thanks for your help (and yours Tom – top pedantry there, haha)
