I don’t know if it’s still there somewhere or not but…

The old trait lines incorporated Boon Duration and Condition Duration which was a flat 30%+ duration if you maxed that trait line(s) out.

Now that ANet has removed stats etc from Trait Lines what are your opinions/thoughts on missing boon duration + condition duration regarding builds/(old) trait lines?


Out of all my alt toons I had a REALLY fun time rocking my own personal Warrior build and in all honesty I’ve never seen anyone make a build like this before. What did this build involve? Maxed out CONDITION DURATION (100%) for skills like cripple, immobilize, weakness and any other NON-DAMAGING conditions.

Why did I rock a build like this (@ 100% condition duration)?

  • Throw Bolas used to be 8 seconds
  • Level 3 sword Flurry was another 8 seconds
  • ANY skill that applies crippled = more immobilize (5 sec ICD)

In other words… immobilize for dayzzzz with roaming friends and it was hilarious watching some players freak out once they ran out of condi cleanses/stun breaks.

…now I’m sitting at 70% condition duration. The other 30% is completely missing and I cannot find it because it seems to be non-existent after the patch rolled out?

I will try running this build again but 6 & 3/4 seconds of Throw Bolas just isn’t as fun. As you can probably tell, I like to min/max things out.

Feel free to discuss this topic amongst yourselves.
