Guild Wars 2

Would it be safe to assume that the new boon and condition would get tacked onto some of our old skills where it makes sense (Resistance on Elixir H for example) or will we only have these on new utilities and specializations that they are adding in HoT.

The revenent article said the following:

New boons, conditions, and status effects have been added to the revenant as well as spread across other professions’ specializations. These are cool ways we’ll allow players to interact with new types of skills in our combat system.

That seems to imply that the new effects are not going to be a part of the core professions. However I’m sure there will be a balance update just before or right after the release of HoT and frankly I’d be suprised if that didn’t add some of these effects to some old skills and traits.
