Guild Wars 2

Im frusttrated that some traits dont work and that the top skills are overall pretty bland

Temporal enchanter: DOES NOT WORK, big dissapointment.

warden’s feedback : DOES NOT WORK, or iv not found a single focus skill.

malicious sorcery : what exactly is +50 malice? im guessing might.

Looks like the whole trait tree for inspiration is untested.

cleansing conflagation : does not remove any conditions on myself, not tested for allies. If it doesnt affect myself its useless.

Malice = Condition damage

There is currently a tooltip bug where the skills show their +trait duration, albeit they don’t last that long. In other words the trait works, the tooltips of the abilities are bugged however.

Focus skills means the two abilities on the offhand Focus.

Malice is the beta-name for Condition Damage. Many abilities still list the stats by their previous, “lore” names. Same with Warrior Banners for example, +Expertise and +Compassion. :P

Warden’s Feedback works perfectly fine, although it falters on bosses (despite Feedback working) which might be fully intentional. Focus skills are just the two skills given when you equip a focus. Warden’s Feedback turns your Temporal Curtain into a wall of reflection. That is devastatingly powerful in WvW choke points such as bridges.

Temporal Enchanter – works, but the duration of glamour skills is too short to really be that noticeable.
Warden’s Feedback – works. Focus skills = skills you get from Focus offhand, i.e. Temporal Curtain and iWarden. Please note that Temporal Curtain does not reflect shots from above (i.e. people standing on cliffs), so place it accordingly.
+50 malice = +50 condition damage. Basically, it makes your dots hit harder.

ok so atleast the wardens feedback work, like i said i wasnt sure what exactly a focus skill was, though in pvp, the wall is used to either run past or drag people in with, will try the skill again.

Im using the glamor skill “null field” alot and the extra duration from trait must be so small you dont even notice it even if you try count it.

Stil the torch needs to remove conditions on myself, then i could actually see it being good since it would free up a slot that i otherwise have for condition removal.

The increased duration on glamour skills is approx 33% which is massive. In combat this will still feel really short, but it can really be a dealbreaker considering how strong Feedback and Null Field actually are.

To the OP: You claim that these traits don’t work, yet it is obvious you haven’t done any testing whatsoever. If you had, you’d find they DO work.* If you are unsure about certain traits, there’s nothing wrong with posting a thread and asking it. But this is just making a fool of yourself.

*Can’t say anything about the focus, haven’t tested that trait myself.

I have tested this: Blade Training doesn’t reduce the cooldown for Illusionary Leap.

I’ve heard CD reductions don’t stack. So if you trated Illusion 5 (-20% CD with illusion skills) alot weapon CD reduction may be pointless.
Haven’T tested this myself, though.
