Guild Wars 2

It seems to me that the bleed left by Barbed Precision lasts for MUCH LESS THAN one second… maybe less than 1/4 of a second… maybe for only one tick… what gives?

Sometimes it lasts for about a second… or about 3-4 ticks… yet I am wearing 2x Centaur, 2x Affliction and 2x Krait runes, and I have Hemophilia and Lingering Curse…

My point is simply this… why does our trait give such a crappy bleed when compared to the Sigil of Earth??? If the trait added the same bleed as the Sigil of Earth, that would be about right.

It’s very short, but keep in mind it’s in the same tree as +duration. With 30 in the tree, and the right gear, it adds up to about 2 extra bleed stacks overall. Not bad for a 5 pt talent imo.

You are 100% incorrect, Rhyse…

Barbed Precision is in the Curses tree which does not add duration to conditions. Also, it does not add more than one bleed stack. It adds one bleed stack which lasts for less than one second, if not a shorter duration. This equates to ~2-4 ticks of bleeding from the trait, which, for me, is about 200-400 damage… worthless or next to it. Compare this to bleeds added by Sigil of Earth which last for ~8 seconds…

Meanwhile, Sigil of Earth adds a proper bleed with over 5s duration when specced as I am.

Something is wrong with Barbed Precision.

I’ve noticed this too, and it does seem ridiculously short. And no, this is in the trait line with +condition damage, not condition duration, so it isn’t lengthened by putting in more points.

And it is not activated by DS crits.

And Hemo + Lingering Curse is on the bug compliation as not working together.
