Guild Wars 2

Either I’ve been misunderstanding this skill for over a year, or its still busted.

“Drink Elixir C, converting all conditions into random boons. Duration: 5 s”

Duration 5 seconds? What does this even mean? Was it supposed to cleanse all incoming conditions for 5 seconds, or cleanse the first condition to come in for 5 seconds, or what?

Then a couple patches back, they noted that potent elixirs (20% duration) now affected it. But what did that even do?

I’ve tried popping Elixir C then running into a spike trap to see if it immediately removes the bleed, and of course it still doesn’t. What does ANET think this skill does?

It removes all your current conditions and turns them into boons that last 5 seconds from my understanding.

It means that the duration of the boons converted is a base of 5s. It is slighly confusing in the wording I know.

The above two posters are correct. Basically, if you stand in a poison field and get a 50-second poison on yourself, you can’t convert it into a lucky 50-second fury, because that would be ridiculous. Guardian skills function the same way.

Ah ok. Thanks for the clarification.
