Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,
Please enlighten me as i’m a newbie in GW2.
Arcane Retribution stays as long as health is above 75%? unlimited criticals?
Thanks

It triggers once you reach 75% HP and works just like the Arcane Power Utility. It’s not unlimited.

Any idea what is Arcane Retribution internal cooldown? I just can’t get or managed to calculate the exact cooldown as there are too many factors involved. eg. Your own or natural crit, Arcane Power skill crit or etc.

Anyway it trigger once when you reach 75% HP, switch to water for regen. In combat, your HP will most probably swing between 80% and 40% so the chance of triggering is very high.

Of course there is internal CD for Arcane Retribution else I would have seen perm crit :p It’s determining the exact CD that is tough. Though do take notice when Arcane Retribution is triggered, don’t use Fire 2, 3 and 5. These are multiple hits and would take Arcane Power in an instant. Use Earth 2, 4 and 5 if possible.

Thanks for the clarifications. i think i’ll choose elemental attunement over this

Yeah, it’s a lackluster trait IMO that gets overshadowed by more useful ones. And it’s not the only one.
