Guild Wars 2

I’m trying to increase the VoJ active burning time. I have Rune of Balthazar and Sigil of Smoldering. That should give me 25%, an increase of 1.25 seconds. When I observe the damage ticks from a burning mob, I only count 5. Is there a way to see if I’m getting this burning increase? It’s doesn’t seem to be more and the tooltip for VoJ is still at 5 seconds.

You know burn stacks in duration right, meaning dont put too much into burn.

And atm theirs no other way then testing ingame yourself for that unfortunately, it would be nice if ALL skills showed duration time that includes added bonsus’s.

Anet needs duration: xxx on every skill to show duration of the effect, and duration of the animation.

Hopefully they will add all these things in the future thus getting rid of the need for us to test in game with crude ways.

ps ; Don’t other games show things as this in said skills tooltip?

WoW perhaps?

Yes but it would appear as though Anet would prefer to take the simplistic approach that negates players worrying too much about marginal data. I don’t think Anet wants their players to worry about min and maxing as games such as WoW do.

Listed such things wouldnt turn this game ino a numbers game, and im not suggestin gthem to go too hard core but some of their vital information IS missing, like say you have runes sigils and some traits that all change your boon time (say ex; increasing retailation duration by 25 percent, then you have a rune / sigil that adds to it too, or you have a bunch of things adding to your condition duration, this stuff is nice to see.

This game isnt a numbers game because skills are dodge able and this game requires placement and siutational awareness more then just raw numbers.

I’m usually not a numbers guy but I do want to know if something I’m doing is going to work or not. When I reverted back from the increase, I only counted 4 ticks. I guess that first tick on the VoJ is either really hard to see because of other spam or perhaps there is no tick on the 0th second. Either way, it appears the % increase is working as it should, even though there isn’t anything to indicate otherwise.
