Guild Wars 2

Been playing with the torch and https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Pledge left me confused. Below is a screen with and without the trait selected.

While torch #4 gets reduced to 24s the iMage gets reduced to 18s. Is this a bug or am I missing some further interaction here?

Also the initial burn on #5. Why does it add 3 stacks while it adds only 1, as per description of the trait, to #4? It certainly doesn’t cause 5 stacks on activation, but 3 and 2 without Pledge.

When you cast the iMage you fire off an AE Burn on yourself, that is the “initial Burning” part. That one gets boosted by +1 stack by Pledge.

Then TP also gets +1 stacks of Burning from Pledge.

If you come out of TP casting iMage at melee range of your target, you will indeed place 7x Burning on your target. Your iMage will then cast another 2x Burning on your target.

Guess the title was wrong. I meant only iMage + the Pledge interaction. Without mixing in additional burns from Prestige.

On Prestige the tooltip is ok. The traited one on iMage is a bit awkward. But the CD is still wrong with 18s vs 24s and both skills having 30s untraited. Unless I’m missing something.

Argh, never mind. Illusion brings -20% summoning. I feel stupid now, thanks for not commenting that. :p
