Guild Wars 2

So Revenant looks awesome and juggling conditions looks quite entertaining. But I do have a concern with the skill “Embrace the Darkness”. So every 3 seconds it transfers conditions from you to enemies in a 240 radius correct? So does it transfer all conditions or just 1 every 3 seconds?

For example if I’m running embrace the darknesss and have 25 stacks of vuln and bleeding will everyone in a 240 radius get all 25 stacks? Or will they only get 1 stack every 3 seconds? I’m crossing my fingers that i could be wrong but I wouldn’t be surprised if it only transfers each condition but only 1 stack per tick.

Anyone notice it to be any different in the poi?

It’s all condition on you every few seconds.

At about 36:15

It won’t be as overpowered as you’d think as the conditions transferred only last 3 seconds each instead of the duration on the Revenant at the time, so you’ll need to stay near the enemy and keep pulsing the ability to keep the conditions on.

it doesn’t transfer, it copies them. so if you have 5 stacks of bleed and 3 stacks of torment, once every 3 seconds you’ll give your enemies 5 stacks of bleed and 3 stacks of torment, but you’ll still have those stacks on you.

keep in mind that 240 radius isn’t all that much. it used to be the range of venomous aura, and no one wanted to run that because the radius was so small that they could never get their teammates the full effects. so most likely you’ll be ticking to your target, and maybe someone else nearby.

Good correction, I’m so tired I didn’t even realise I was typing ‘transfer’ instead of ‘copy’!

yeah, it’s an important distinction to make, because throwing your condis on other people is the necro thing (though you could argue that embrace the darkness is all too similar to a certain GW1 necro skill).

in a way, it’s safer to be a condi transfer necro than a condi copy revenant, because the moment that resistance goes down, you’re going down with it. though condi transfer necros could stand to have more tools.

Ah my bad on the wording, I didn’t mean transfer (meant copy). Thanks for the replies and that does help the worry, now to wait for what more traits may combo with it. (at least for the ones they haven’t shown us)
