Guild Wars 2

Guardian 101 question. I did try a search, but my Search-Fu was too vague.

SoR loses a condition. Purity loses a condition. Does that mean that by using both you lose 2 every 10 seconds?

This is a kitten good question.

afaik, they do stack, and they do stack in a 2 condi/10 sec, instead of 1 per 5sec

They do stack, although I’m not entirely sure that I agree with the 2 conditions per 10 seconds stacking. Purity seems to always be active as long as you have the trait, but SoR goes on and off CD as you use the active, which means that it will recharge and it’s 10 second timer would start at that time, which will be (almost always) independent of Purity’s timer.

So either they are on separate timers that start as soon as combat begins and do remove 2 per 10 seconds until the signet is activated and recharges (removing 1 condition per 10 seconds, per passive), or they are on the same timer and as soon as the signet reactivates it synchronizes to purity’s timer and removes 2 per 10 seconds as it did before the activation of the signet.

They are on the same timer.
When SoR refreshes, you could lose a condition in 1 second or 9 seconds later.
Also I don’t think combat has anything to do with the timer; I have seen conditions removed almost immediately when somebody opens up on me.
