Guild Wars 2

just something id like clarified. this skill only fears on detonation and only lasts 1 second? the tooltip says it fears twice, once on activation and again on detonation. old tooltip concept?

The info bout this skill is from the weekly video’s. Before each and everyone it is said that numbers are not set in stone and are very likely to change before release. So it is better to see the numbers as a placeholder, as anything to draw conclusions from.

the way skilldesign at GW2 (and most games) work is that the skill is designed (how does it function) and when all skills are designed they will test them and compare them to balance them. As this fase is not finished yet, the numbers say nothing, only the way the skill works.

The fear on the first skill is most likely a tool tip error. From the stream the idea was you activate the skill and you gain an armor that pulses stability and then by activating the skill again you shatter the armor for aoe fear.
