Guild Wars 2

So, while I am encouraged to see Stats separate from Traits, I am curious what happens to the various duration bonuses like condi or boon. Or the class cooldown stats like attunement and toolbelt skills.

I read all the posts and watch the AMA and didn’t see that anywhere. Did I just miss it?

EDIT: Okay. Watching again and caught in the in the Engi section. Seems that we get 50% of what you could get by maxing the existing trait line as the base and then that trait line as a minor that gives you the other 50% for those profession specific cooldown stats. Still not sure about duration ones.

Hey digitalruse:

What i think Anet did (and also talked about in the stream) is that they dont compensate these stats by gear but they reworked them into some traits:

not 100% sure about all but a few examples:
-Necro is getting a trait that gives +100% condi duration on everything! :-P
-Or there are traits for guardian to increase burning durations
-Warriors getting a trait that increase boon duration

And there are many more..

So what they did is that builds that need boon/condi durations they build that into some traits that you DO want to get if you wanna go for those builds..

sorry for my bad english.
