Guild Wars 2

I could never really figure this out from observation so perhaps someone can provide an answer.

Scenario – I have 50% duration increase and using VoJ in passive mode. My burn will last 1.5 seconds. Let’s say I can get another burn stack from passive VoJ within the 1.5 second window.

Do I get three ticks of burning because the total stack duration is 3 seconds or just 2 ticks because I ‘lose’ the half seconds from each stacked burn? I’m thinking it’s probably just two ticks. Can anyone confirm?

would also like to know (can’t really tell from trying in game). have 1.75 sec burns on VoJ passive on every 3 hits. trying out 6/4/0/0/4 in PvE…..but build editor numbers on burn (both dmg and duration) is much higher than in-game tooltip on VoJ passive.

edit- think i saw 4 ticks on one whirling wrath (503 dmg per tick)

edit2- linked build editor incorrectly adds the +25% burn duration from Supreme Justice trait to the passive instead of the active……should have known 1000 dmg per passive hit would be too good w/o using koi cakes

with koi’s +40% condi duration, passive burn goes to 2.25 seconds @ 1052 dmg and ticks 6 times during one whirling wrath for 526 dmg per tick

so it seems you are correct in your assumption of losing the fractional time/tick

duration stack till 100% so voj passive will go to 2 seconds and not above
also SJ only increase the active duration and not the passive.
also if you manage to put 1 stack of 1.5 seconds and before it ends another stack from lets say PF check if it sum it of

i think not as every stack act for its own so you’ll have 2 ticks and not 3

You only lose fractional seconds if you fail to apply more burning to raise it up to a whole second before it runs out. If you apply 1.5 seconds and another 1.5 seconds before it runs out you will get 3 ticks.
