Guild Wars 2

so, being that I rarely read the updates, I’d been noticing I’m stacking more like 15-17 stacks of might these days instead of 22-25. I was reading through some updates and I’ve learned that on the 11/15 update, evasive arcana no longer triggers “unintentional” blast finishers.

What does “unintentional” mean? Couldn’t they just say that it no longer triggers finishers?

If that’s so, I’m considering dropping back to 20 in arcane and putting the other 10 in either power or precision… any thoughts from anyone else?

I’ve got good boon duration from runes anyway, so perhaps a slight increase to power thanks to this nerf may be in the cards… thoughts?

Earth is still a blast finisher.

Pyromancer’s Pussaince the fire 30 trait got buffed later on in exchange, with decent boon duration you could get like 20 might stacks just from that.

thanks then, I’ll play around with a few things and see how I can best change my opening attack chains up.

I’ve been running with 20 air and the newly improved bolt to the heart (mainly in pvp and wvw). It seems to be on par with the nerfed EA. Going for more damage and less utility (what EA is now used for).

So I’d probably still been getting a few extra stacks of might from the earth EA blast finisher (I would also think the EA in fire attunement would work too, but I haven’t had time to play since I posted this, so I’ll try to test it out this weekend), but I may step up to 20 air as well. I’d still be able to maintain perma-fury and it’d up me to 85% crit chance, so even a paltry 15 stacks of might, it could be a better deal.
