Guild Wars 2

I never see the damage from terror appear in the log. All I see is the trivial damage amounts associated with doom and reaper’s mark. Is terror bugged, or am I missing something?

Also, I understand that terror is supposed to do one tick of damage per second. If the fear lasts 1.25 seconds, then is the target hit for 2 ticks?

terror work perfectly, it give the conditionmancer a kind of “burst”.
1.25 do not mean 2 tick of terror but 1tick+25% chance to have the second tick, it depend when you are casting terror in the “1sec alteration ticking window”.

Exactly what kazuno stated. Terror works as intended and serves solely as a burst tool for conditionmancers. Previous threads also state that terror is only a few hundred extra dps per second, so your better off traiting for bleed duration/other traits if you want sustained damage over burst.

To answer the original question, terror doesn’t show up in the combat log because it is a condition based damage spell, and no condition damage show up in the combat log.

And for 1.25 seconds on the fear, to get the second damage tick, you would need to hit the damaging condition window right before the next damaging tick, as the above poster mentioned.
