Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,
Given Veil is now a light field, has anyone attempted to use traited iDuelist to shoot through Veil to get 8 times condition removal. I heard that traited pistol has 100% projectile finisher on iDuelist 8 shots. Would the removal effect work on the player or just on iDuelist himself?

They clean condition from those in the path of the bullets not the caster. ^^ I tried it out a bit but the CD even traited is just too long to use for condition removal.

Thanks, Hexxen I didn’t know that.

Whirl from iWarden seems to be more effective.

I did some limited testing. It seemed like I was able to get conditions removed standing next to the duelist and both of us close to the veil.

I have the duelist discipline trait, so in theory, each duelist shot is a 100% proc chance as a projectile. Without it, the chance is only 20% per shot I think.

@eldenbri: so if it does indeed proc 100% with traited pistol, it’s basically a full cleanse every 90 seconds (or 72 seconds if traited) because, realistically, I don’t think people can stack more than 8 conditions on you.

It would be a very good almost full cleans. Do not underestimate Necros. The sad thing is that even though a full cleans is great they will stack them up right after again anyway so it isn’t super.

I never tested it with eight conditions on me…

There’s both positioning and timing that you need to get right. I think I would find it difficult to pull off a full eight condition removal. Often when I have a ton of conditions on me, I also have cripple/immobilize/chill.

But I’m hopeful that I can get better at using it. I’m trying to make Veil a standard part of my build.

Veil is a part of my build but I don’t use Pistol. The build I use Pistol with I don’t use Veil. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Same thing for cond eng… both can spam conds all day long.

However this isn’t a bad way to get a full cleanse if you’re taking these other things anyways (not atypical for a phant mes to already have these things).

I wouldn’t build specifically for this though. It’s quite an investment when you could get the same basic effect from a null field (as well as strip boons).

I don’t think they intended for idualist to be a 100% finisher (it’s listed as a bug on the wiki, hasn’t always been one, nor do I remember ever seeing it added in patch notes) and it’ll eventually get patched out.

@Hexxen for what it’s worth – this is the build where I use pistol and veil together

I find it really fun in WvW for anything from solo to zerg

Thanks guys for your comments
I was actually putting together a somewhat bunker build based on retaliation and interrupt traits, so just trying to take advantage of the changes in the latest patch.
Here’s a link to the build for your interest: http://tinyurl.com/nxljf2o
Sword #4 got buff, so happy. Still deciding between Focus and Pistol for 2nd set OH.
