Guild Wars 2

Forgive me if this has already been asked (I used the search tool but didn’t find a single topic with the term “cleansing burst”)

Anyway…

I was doing some testing yesterday with the water field of cleansing burst (trying to trigger the aoe heal with a blast finisher) but couldn’t get it to trigger…

It seems, at least visually, that there is a delay between the time you hit the skill and the time the burst is released. Is this the problem? If so, how long is the delay?

Also, how long does the water field from the burst last? (the tool-tip does not give that information)

Thank you!

The Healing Turret will deploy a field around it every 3 seconds or so, normally this gives you only Regeneration. However if you activate Cleansing Burst the next of the fields the Healing Turret deploys will have the effects of it, it’s not immediate. You will notice it visually by the water that sprays out of the Healing Turret and a different sound.

For optimal use of the Healing Turret deploy it, use Cleaning Burst and then either pick it up again to reduce its recharge time (if you want to only heal yourself) or explode it (to heal your allies or as an emergency heal).

edit:
The water field of the Healing Turret lasts for several seconds, only the water field of the Tool Belt skills lasts only 1 seconds.

1 Second. Time for one short blast finisher like double tab shield #2, rocket boots, EG#4

Edit: Sorry thought about F1 skill.

For cleansing burst: Healing turret does have fire rate of 3,5 seconds. If you overcharge cleaning burst will “fire” with ne next cycle. Means between 0 and 3,5 seconds. That’s why usualy people place, overcharge and pick up/detonate all at once. If you overcharge right after placing you get a controlled overcharge immidiatly.

Great, thanks.

So if you use cleansing burst then pick/blow it up immediately the field still sticks around for a few seconds after?

If you pick up: no.
If you blow up: yes.
