Guild Wars 2

Lose every condition and gain every boon every 45 seconds for thieves, 60 seconds for Warriors. Pretty frequent proc for Necromancers using Flesh Golem too.

On the other hand absolutely useless for professions like Ele, Ranger or Engi.

It’s pretty much the rune to use on Thieves and I see more and more Warriors running it too.

The boons it gives are acceptable I guess. I mean I can wait 5 seconds, pop 1 invulnerability, what ever I need. It really helps Thieves and I doubt they want to take another hit in terms of Lyssa nerf, though should they rely on 1 rune set so much?

But the lose all conditions aspect… it gives Warriors and Thieves pretty great condition removal even though I feel they should be more susceptible to conditions due to being unable to land much on an evasive Thief and the giant health pool and armor of a Warrior.

Many (powerful) rune procs have long 90sec+ internal cooldows, I wonder why Lyssa doesn’t.

Frankly as an Elementalist I would gladly take an elite with a low cooldown that has no effect whatsoever just to proc Lyssa runes, but I guess that says more about Ele elites not Lyssa runes.

inb4 a thief player “if you nerf lyssa runes thieves will be a free kill, it’s part of our defense” bs.

Engineer can use Elixir X and get the cooldown to 84 seconds with Fast Acting Elixirs. I still found it to be rather weak.

60 second internal cool down. It’s fine.

Well runes of the soldier and Ranger are far more segregating on profession than Lyssa. So who can and cannot take full advantage of Lyssa doesn’t really mean anything.

Kwll.1468:

60 second internal cool down. It’s fine.

Are you stating that there is 60 second cooldown? Cause there isn’t. I tested before posting.

They’re convenient in some thief builds but last I checked majority of thieves were split between scholar and ogre runes.

lyssa on S/D is pretty much required.

In the niche s/d build that’s not bringing other condi removal outside of the signet. It’s convenient in some thief builds, like I said.
