Guild Wars 2

Ok so with this patch coming today people are saying that since traits no longer will give the stats it used to its going to be packed into gear.. and only Ascended gear is this true or are people yanking my chain?

Base stats are being boosted from 926 to 1000.

All gear will be getting the rest. The gap between Exotic and Ascended will still be 5%.

Thanks you’re the best

The question is, what’s going to happen to the condi and boon durations we used to get from traits…

They answered this. It’s being rolled into baseline where applicable and being added to traits you select when not.

Example: Steal is now 30 seconds, 20 with the trait that reduces the cooldown.

Huh? I was talking about condi and boon duration, not class mechanics recharge stuff.

Example: first trait line for all classes currently gives 30% condi duration increase. What’s going to happen to that?

I see 3 options:

1) They give us new gear stat options, like Givers, that replace a stat with boon/condi duration (this is the least desired outcome)

2) They change boon and condi duration to a formula (like precision and ferocity) and make those go on gear (still not the most desired)

3) Give us infusions (maybe through jeweler 500) that can give boon and condi duration [I’m hoping that the fractal masteries will give some kind of base AR to offset the potential infusion slot loss] (my personal favorite solution)
