Guild Wars 2

With todays livestream revealing the new engineer changes, there are a few points I found unclear and wonder if the devs or anyone else here on the forum knows about:

• Coated bullet, is it baseline now? (They said it might be on the first livestream)
• Does Siege Rounds affect Poison durration on Poison Gas Shell, Chilled durration on Endothermic Shell and any combo finishers from Mortar Shot? Or does it only affect the field durrations?
• Does Heavy Armor Exploit have an internal cooldown?
• Do Cleansing Synergy and Heal Resonator affect yourself and allies or just allies?
• What is Reactive Lenses ICD?

And finally, how much from the first livestream that they didn’t talk about in todays stream is remaining?

Anything else people feel we didn’t get clear info on?

I believe they said the Reactive Lenses cd is the same as utility goggles. I don’t have any definitive answer to the other questions, but I would imagine siege rounds only affects the field duration, not the duration of finisher effects. I would also imagine Cleansing Synergy and Heal Resonator affect both you and allies.

Are.1326:* Coated bullet, is it baseline now?

(They said it might be on the first livestream)

Not confirmed, but a lot of what they said was baseline in the first stream and this stream did not make it into the notes Grouch posted. We’ll have to wait for the full notes I guess.

• Does Heavy Armor Exploit have an internal cooldown?

This is replacing Precise Sights and Infused Precision. Neither of which had ICDs, so my guess is no.

Infused Precision have a 5 sec ICD. I’m counting on them not giving it an ICD, but considering how everything else gets one and how they made Sitting Duck have a cooldown when it was a combination of two older traits (one with and one without ICD). And that screwed over the side without ICD.
