Guild Wars 2

Reactive Lenses: When blinded or disabled you activate utility goggles.

There’s zero doubt in my mind that this has an ICD. I would just like to know what it is. I’m expecting something in the range 40 – 50 seconds.

Quickly checked the stream. Calmon-Huang stated that “it runs off the same cooldown as Utility goggles.”

So 40 seconds cd seems about right. Would almost argue that 20 would be better, but it is what it is.

That said, it can be affected by other gadget traits! Probably including the overcharge one.

Weren’t they promising elite&healing-skills for all utility-types?
We surely have a full set of heals, but I’m still curious if we get an elite gadget, and if yes, what it’ll be.

Oh, wonderful. 40s is more than good enough for a reactionary trait that breaks stuns/negates blind and throws fury on top.

I can hardly comprehend what an Elite Gadget would act like.

Keep in mind with it proccing on blindness being applied it will very very rarely really serve the stunbreak function.

Yea, as with kinetic charge, its trigger is a bummer.
But hey, we still can equip auto-elixir S and an active stunbreaker, it’s not like we weren’t able to deal with a lack of stab before.

It would be pretty kitten nice combo’d with gadgeteer and no extra gadgets, free Overcharged Shot break or stunbreak + fury every 20s when you’re not fighting a thief or engi or war. I don’t think it’d be worth giving up Kinetic Charge for though, unless you’re using it as your only stunbreak which I wouldn’t recommend.

oh kitten, haven’t even thought about that.
Will overcharged shot trigger this trait as well?
That’d be amazing.

On the other hand, I doubt it.
For some reason automated bomb-dispenser (smokebomb upon being stunned) & portection infusion never got triggered from OS, so the game seems to distinguish between external and self-inflicted cc’s…

Overcharged shot never triggered our own traits, and this particular one only reacts to blind! I am not aware of any self-blinding happening with OS. :>

it reacts to blind AND cc’s.
