Guild Wars 2

For anyone that was curious.

New Terror damage is now actually weaker than burning (just ever so slightly), with no debuff on the target.

At 1901 condition damage terror hits for 800, and burning hits for 803. With a condition on, terror would hit for in this case 1200 damage.

Food for thought, but if you were thinking about play conditions and avoiding burning, you many want to reconsider.

Well >< how likely is it that you fear someone without a condition on them.

In HotM @ 1306 Condition Damage
Burning – 654
Terror – 964/641

Depending on your gear, nightmare runes can proc on people you aren’t even attacking, same with spectral wall… Most other cases they will have something on them though yes.

Not saying is UP or OP, just saying its now base damage is weaker than burning.

I don’t take burning or fear damage and I’m just fine

I wasnt either for a while. and thought id do my usual bleed spec and was doing well.

I then tried the burning terror spec in a couple hot joins. I used 30/20/20/0/0 with reapers protection for fear on CC and greater marks in death.

I got so many kills it was ridiculous -19 in first match and 16 in second. its VERY powerful. new terror damage was bearable, with all our other conditions adding to it.

anyone else taking plague signet now we have to pick some traits in spite? ive gone for spectral wall, epidemic and plague signet and the signet adds alot of opportunities in comparison to the usual spectral walk. though I do miss the swiftness and the “duking”
