Guild Wars 2

Anet, could you elaborate on these?
—————————————————————

• Disruptor’s Sustainment – Gain 1,000 healing power for 5s upon interrupting a foe.
  Does this stack in intensity or duration (or at all)?

• Maim the Disillusioned – Enemies hit by shatter skills are inflicted with torment.
  Is torment applied per illusion hit or per landed shattered skill? How much torment is applied?

• Triumphant Distortion – Gain 3s of distortion upon killing an enemy. No cooldown.
  The typical distortion mechanic does not stack duration. Will this trait change that?

• Bountiful Disillusionment – Gain boons each time a shatter skill is used. Mind wrack – 3s of relitation. Cry of frusturation – 3 stacks of might for 15s; Diversion – 5s of fury; Distortion – 8 seconds of regeneration.
  It seems obvious, but will this trait proc per illusion or just per shatter? Per shatter seems quite underwhelming considering we have a solid adept per shatter trait in vigorous revelation. On the other hand, we have a per illusion grandmaster trait in shattered strength. Seems this trait would be well served working that way, making it much more worth the 30 point investment into a non-shatter trait line.

Any other questions/clarification needed on the new traits? I’ll add them to the OP.

Does the dueling trait stack in duration or just go back to 3 seconds if you kill a second person during the timeframe of the first distortion

Anyone else but Carpboy and myself interested in clarifying the new traits?

Personally I’m chomping at the bit to theory-craft some new builds and not knowing the answers to these questions is hindering that process.

I’d like to keep this visible until we get some answers (help me out!). I may also post in another forum.

I’d really like to know that but I think we will have to wait until 15.04. :<

Hm I think with a “little” work you could even manage to get all scenatios covered.
I’ll just create a table for Maim the Disillusioned.

You can test the mechanics of distortion right now. It doesn’t stack at all, it simply refreshes to the new applied duration.

Added clarification questions for Bountiful Disillusionment in the OP.

Oh, definitely, but I am also worried about what else will break.
