Guild Wars 2

Did they completely remove this trait or just rename it? I can’t seem to find it in my trait tab.

I didn’t want to make a topic about this but I searched the forums and I couldn’t find any threads on it anywhere and there is no official ask thread in this forum to ask the question.

PS. Someone should totally make an ask thread for questions like these so we don’t have to flood the forum with new “one question” topics like this.

It’s “baselined” now. Everything that Elasticity affected got an extra bounce for free.

Try GS 2 or Staff 1 without any traits and it’ll be just like Illusionary Elasticity before.

Same thing happened to Illusionary Persona, Blink range, one of the 15% damage phantasm traits, and the "600 armor while casting mantras" thing, btw.

If it’s baselined, then how come the bounce counts for GS2 or staff1 are still the same as before the new trait system? I’m confused.

GS2 got nerfed on July 28. Staff1 should still have the full number of bounces.

Nerfed how? And when I hover over Staff1, it still says 2 bounces.

first hit doesn’t count as a bounce.
Enemy → Ally → Enemy
The arrows are the bounces.

This is the same number of total targets as before the patch, with IE.

Mirror Blade got a bounce taken away. So basically now it’s back to the old untraited version, and also untraitable.

I’m pretty sure old Staff 1 was 1 bounce, 2 with IE. So now it’s 2.

Although now it affects Clones, too!

It always affected clones :P

I’ve been using a condi staff build since the first month, and IE always made my clones get the extra bounce.

I swore there was a giant bug where IE didn’t affect WoC clones and that was a huge Staff IE complaint.

There was. It was fixed while ago though.
