Guild Wars 2

So I’ve had discussions about this recently, and apparently I’ve always thought it worked one way while everyone else thinks it works another way. I was always under the impression that conditions applied by Epidemic were affected by the Necromancer’s condition duration. Example:

Warrior applies 5s burn to target, has +100% condition duration
10s duration burn
Necromancer uses Epidemic on the 10s burn, has +100% condition duration
20s duration burn on nearby enemies, 10s burn on target of skill

I could swear it worked like this years back when I was playing my Necromancer more religiously (rip reaper), but some people have been telling me that it doesn’t behave like this. I can’t decide if I was always crazy, or if this changed at some point, or if it still works like that now (unable to test currently).

Has anyone verified this hands-down one way or the other recently? Thanks.

Epidemic copies the remaining duration of the conditions it transfers.
There’s no interaction with the necro’s duration stats at all, and it has always been this way.

The durations and stacks have never been affected by necros durations, its always been pure copypasta of what u see on enemy at that moment. What matters is necro condition damage as that will count as in necro put all the condies on source.

Aka for bounce on boss A, you can use a power necro spreading from A to target B, then condition necro spreading back from B to boss A. The condi necros condie on boss A will tick higher than those on a pleb target B.

Good to know! Thanks! I guess I’ve just been totally crazy all of these years… o_o
