Guild Wars 2

IIRC, there are certain traits that allow players to become immune to conditions, but how does that affect Basilisk Venom? Stability prevents stun and daze, but if Basilisk Venom has essentially become a thief-only inflicted condition since the change to an immobilize-stun instead of actual petrification/“Stone” effect, then Basilisk Venom should also be affected by condition duration extending sigils, runes, and traits. It must be allowed to bypass Stability and immunity to conditions, or be affected by condition-extending upgrades. Please explain if there’s something I am missing, I tried to search for “immune” on GW2iki but there is no page.

Stability would negate the application of Basilisk Venom.

i agree without con-duration, well tbh its kinda semi garbage, only use i ever found for it was either with venom share and group stoning people or with rune of lyssa set to proc the “on elite” effect. the fact that the immobilse venom doesnt stack it “replaces” per hit, is also kind of misleading, makes the chill venom a tempting prospect when used with venom share/residual venoms etc as it would stack shame its like a 1 sec chill

basilisks venom (bv) is amazing it allows you to succesfully use your opener unhindered or save a team mate. it actally has many uses beyond just kill some one that i find thieves useless unless under a few circumstances to be under par compared to bv.

And at the very least, allow the Basilisk Venom length to be affected by the Deadly Arts Residual Venom Trait. If not, change the skill or the trait somehow.

How does one use BV to “Save a teammate” thats specific to BV? Sure, pulling a frenzied warrior off of a teammate for 1.5 seconds is useful, but you can do that with other tools, sometimes alot more efficiently. Scorpion wire comes to mind as vastly superior (and if you bring Thieves guild, one of the summoned thieves will -also- use scorpion wire). In the right situations, you’ve also got tripwire, headshot, the stun from PW, the immob from Inf strike…

BV is honestly kind of underperforming, for an elite skill anyway. The 1s cast time severely limits its tactical usage.

afaik basilisk venom was reworked in a past patch.
they made it a stun (so stunbreakable) but they have increased the duration.
