Guild Wars 2

I wonder how torment will interact with movement skills like teleport, RtL, etc.

Will torment punish them? Or will they bypass torment?

Personally i hope torment punishes them. Movement skills already bypass so many damage types that it’d be nice to have more counters.

One way might be to base the damage on distance moved rather than just a flat amount over time if you move. (adjusted for cripple and chill)

Thus someone who teleports, rtls, portals, etc under torment will suddenly get a giant chunk of damage

Well, I’m betting it probably won’t, it’ll likely just tick as they’re moving, and that’s about it. But if I had to guess for about… a month after it releases it won’t be anything but another bleed because people won’t think to watch for it close enough.

heh, torment on someone just about to portal to a distant location = instagib :p
if only….

i think your guess is probably right tho, sadly.

I think it basically has to, if not you get a lot of weird grey areas where things are “psuedo” teleports (Like leaps or charges) but aren’t instant, are those effected or not? Why would an instant teleport be immune but a near instant one wouldn’t. Plus it just goes against the developer’s ideas of forcing people to stay engaged instead of running away whenever things seem to tip out of their favor.

I’m under the impression that they intend to punish high mobility skills with this condition, that includes blinks.

I hope torment works on Evade skills such as flanking strike and ranger’s sword evades! they are technically moving!

What about torment dmg after going through portals? /trollface

Unlikely, remember, it ticks. It’s not a calculated damage or on-script activation like Confusion.

the person 75% dmg of a bleed and 150% if they are moving, it’s stacks in intensity. so it works similar to bleeding.
