Guild Wars 2

How do people read this as it vague and or have they tested?

>>Rune of the Nightmare: The random activation of fear in the sixth bonus has been replaced. The sixth bonus will now apply blind and transfer one condition on up to 5 enemies in a radius of 240 when players use an elite skill. This skill will now have a 45-second cooldown.

My assumption is this. If you have 5 conditions on you and there 5 enemies within 240 when you use an elite , one of your 5 conditions will transfer to each of those 5 enemy along with the blind.

You will still have 4 conditions on you. Correct?

That is how I read it but testing is problematic due to the relative rarity of the runes.

Rare? O_o

Are you thinking of the wrong runes? The can be bought from the dungeon vendor for 120 deadly blooms

It is basically http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/%22Suffer!%22 with chill replaced by blind.

From my testing, each of your conditions transfers to one enemy in range until up to 5 conditions have transferred in this way, so each enemy will receive one unique condition from you.

Test procedure:

1. Necro in Heart of the Mists, standing in the middle of 3 target dummies. Do not target any of them.
2. Cast Blood is Power to Bleed yourself and Bleed your Target, but since you have no target, you get the Bleeding but nothing else does.
3. Cast Corrosive Poison Cloud to Weaken yourself, but ground-target it at a distance so that it does not hit anything.
4. Cast Corrupt Boon to Poison yourself, but you have no target, no do not condition anything.
5. You now have Bleeding, Poison, and Weakness on yourself, and the golems around you are still clean.
6. Cast Summon Flesh Golem. As soon as it appears, quickly use your mouse to select each of the golems near you to see what conditions they have.

Result:

• All of them will have Blindness, as inflicted by the Rune’s 6th ability.
• One of them will also have Bleeding,
• a second one will have Weakness, and
• a third will have Poison,
• while a fourth will only have Blind, since you only had 3 self-conditions.

edit: spelling

Also, if the number of enemies around you is less than the number of conditions on you, each enemy will still get only 1 condition from you. So in the example above where you have 3 conditions, if there is only 1 enemy, you will transfer only one of your conditions. The condition transferred is random.
