Guild Wars 2

i need an explanation for HgH traits
HgH —-—> ALL elixir give 20 second of might
why don’t work with elixir gun???

It needs to be an Elixir. The EG doesn’t qualify.

Because it is a kit and its skills are not true elixirs.

well elixir infused bomb work for bomb kit
why hgh don’t work with elixir gun
and hgh description say “ALL” elixir, now i dont count 1 to 3 elixir gun skills but skill 4 and 5 got on description the word “elixir” and same to tool belt elixir gun skill
i count this for elixir skills

It just doesn’t and never has.

/thread

Because. Ask Anet.

This is something that they’ve just never bothered to change.

If I remember correctly (and I might not), in the beta version of GW2 the elixir traits did actually affect the elixir gun skills, and they were all marked as elixirs. I seem to remember elixir F being lowered to a 3.5 second cooldown or something like that, and it could work on the regenerating mist tool belt skill too.

In any case, the tooltips for some of the elixir gun skills had the “elixir” keyword removed, but they got stuck on some of them for whatever reason. My guess is that they just never bothered to remove them. Best way to go about getting it fixed is filing a bug report, although I would find it likely that someone already filed such a thing.

Another thing to note is that there’s currently a bug with the tooltip updates regarding HGH. Tossed elixirs only grant one stack of might, but the game will tell you two stacks.

Your correct, some of the skills were marked as elixirs and effected by their traits.

HgH and other elixir skills have never worked with Elixir gun skills since launch. (I have no experience with beta, so I can’t say there)

Elixir gun skills should not be marked as Elixir skills - this is quite simply an error, and one that’s persisted for a very long time.

Either make elixir modifying traits work with elixir gun (Which personally, I believe is wholly unnecessary), or better – simply remove the ‘Elixir’ skill fact on the EG skills. I get the feeling the ‘elixir’ skill fact is a leftover from beta, as Elixir gun already has a flat cooldown reduction trait.

Leaving it as it is creates a whole lot of confusion and is a glaring inconsistency when compared to other profession skill types and traits.

They did in beta Halcyon, thats why he said that (he did specifically mention beta as well)

But due to all the recent tool tip clean up effort, I am baffled as to why they didn’t change any of that, it has led to confusion since launch.

Any trait on any profession that says it affects all _______ utility skills only works on that specific subset of utilities. For example, warriors have physical utilities, signets, stances, shouts, and banners. There are exactly four of each type. Every trait that says it affects physical utilities will only help those exact four.

With engineers, there are kits, elixirs, gadgets, and turrets. Even if some of them share some of the same concepts or styles, in design terms they are fundamentally different. In other words, every skill that says it affects “elixirs” will only work with the five “elixir” utilities—even if there are other engineer skills that have the word “elixir” in them.

Wait… WHAT!? Elixer Infused Bomb works with HGH? Did I totally misinterpret that, or have I been missing out?

Totally misinterpreted Sir. No idea how.

Bomb Kit, not HGH

Traits only work with skills that have the yellow text labeling it as that skill type, and only work on utilities of that sub-type. Elixer gun is a kit, and is only affected by kit traits. That primary label is what matters, not the name.

hello all…

“Another thing to note is that there’s currently a bug with the tooltip updates regarding HGH. Tossed elixirs only grant one stack of might, but the game will tell you two stacks.”

hope they correct or the tooltip or the working of the toss…

cheers
