Guild Wars 2

Now that Torment is a thing doesn’t it make sense that Caltrops and Box of Nails give it instead of bleeding?
Just seems logical to me, setting on caltrops or a nail is going to hurt and make walking painful. And thats the whole concept of Torment.

So… Make it happen caption. Hop to it!
Go!

No, it doesn’t really make more sense, but I do find the concept hilarious. You get hit with an AoE dot that makes you have to stay in the dot continuing to get hurt, or else get hurt if you try to leave it.

Torment, as I understand it, is more of a psychological effect than a physical ailment. But stepping on spikes will probably make you bleed.

It would definitely be torment walking with nails through your feet!

If you have ever stepped on a nail before then you would understand that trying to walk afterward is indeed Torment. blood loss? not so much.

I also want to point out that the warrior lodges his sword into the target to apply torment with “Impale”. Now if having a sword sticking out of your chest isnt a physical ailment, I dont know what is.

I have, in fact, stepped on a nail, went right through the sole of my shoe into my foot. It still gives me troubles from time to time today.

I still don’t think it is a good suggestion.
