Guild Wars 2

anyone notice how wonky this is when you use it on yourself? sometimes it gives you nothing and sometimes it gives you one of the buffs in the description, and it seems if you use it while under the effect of normal elixir B it adds duration to your fury boon almost all of the time. how is it supposed to work? is it only supposed to work on allies or is it supposed to work on you as well?

It’s working on the caster as well, but has pretty small splash range, easy to miss it when you’re tossing while running. You need to cast it max 1.5m away from you. Also it can affect up to 5 targets, depending on exact cast spot might not affect you in bigger crowd. Not sure about it, but I think it sets prior to the nearest targets. I don’t know if it counts ranger pets as separate targets

Boon duration stacks normally. When you’re getting might from drinking and tossing elixir when it’s about to end, you’ll have 2 stacks for only few seconds, then older stack will expire, leaving only the new one. Other boons are stacking in duration, let’s say you drank elixir and have 5 seconds of swiftness remaining. Tossing would give you a new boon or add another 10 seconds to swiftness (so you have 15 sec together)

I think that this ability works as intended, but there is an error in the tooltip. It says:
“Toss Elixir B to grant fury, might, retaliation, and swiftness to allies.”
but it seems like it should say:
“Toss Elixir B to grant fury, might, retaliation or swiftness to allies.”
So it only grants 1 of 4 boons when tossed.

Regarding adding duration. It should work like that. Some boons increase intensity (for example, might can have multiple stacks) and some increase duration.
If you mouse over each boon, it will say either “stacks duration” or “stacks intensity”.

edit: Orissa was faster

I understand all that, you guys need to pay attention to what I said. And I am not missing myself when I test it standing still and alone. Now it appears to always give me at least 1 boon, but before I could have sworn that I used it and only received 1 stack of might from HGH. Anyway, with 0 boons it seems to randomly give me 1 or 2 random boons, but if I’m under effect of elixir B, it always gives me fury (thus adding to its duration). I am wondering if this is intended or a bug.

I honestly have no idea what you mean by “always gives fury while under the effects of elixir b”

I use it all the time after drinking the elixir, and I get swiftness more than anything else…

One really cool thing i noticed about it is a hidden plus in the trait that increases boon duration by 20% that allows you to receive 2 boons from it instead of 1 (yes, it normally only gives 1, always). I usually end up with 2-3 minutes of swiftness just from cycling stimulant > drink > toss >stimulant > drink > toss…

No. Its always seemed random to me.

But I’ll test it a bit. could be H.G.H makes it weird or something. Like how short fuse worked normally, but broke with grenadier.

I just meant if you had the boons active from elixir B. it appears to be working normally now, giving 2 random boons with the trait like you said. maybe it was fixed in the patch or I’m kitten crazy and was only half paying attention to the boons I was getting while in combat.
