Guild Wars 2

It says it converts boons into conditions but when they have aegis or if your blind it wont hit or teleport at all, it seems like this skill never hits even if they aren’t blocking or when I’m blinded. I’m not sure if its a glitch but this trait/skill seems way underpowered.

It should be kinda like dagger skill 4 deathly swarm, but instead of transferring conditions, it transfers conditions and steals boons instead of converting boons into conditions? It seems to make more sense like that because 2 random boons transferred into conditions could be useless to certain builds not using conditions as much. I think that would make this trait a lot more viable. It would be nice to have it gain life force as well since in pvp its hard for necros to gain life force since there aren’t too many deaths around. I just think the trait could give necros the boost they need in pvp because all necros love the second trait line but there aren’t any good Grandmaster traits in that line so people usually are missing out on a trait that could be great because it already is pretty decent, but not viable.

Thanks for reading

Dark path has wonky Line of sight issues and is based on a really slow projectile that can be avoided in some cases without a dodge.

At one point before the trait existed, a lot of us were screaming for a skill rework, then we just learned how to land it and the chill became nice.

You just have to get used to it.

I’m not saying its a bad skill and it cant be used, I’m saying the trait could use an upgrade because it doesn’t seem to work right, or very well. Transfering 2 random boons into conditions is pretty useless compared to the unblockable Well of Corruption and Corrupt boon. It would be nice to steal the boons instead and transfer conditions to make it hit more, or just make it convert all boons into conditions. It seems reasonable since this skill cant be used much because it requires death shroud especially for PvP.

I really think this trait has some good potential, please take a look.

Nobody is responding because your complaint is not accurate. It shouldn’t work through blind, and doesn’t get blocked by Aegis.

All boon corruption is unblockable (Dark Path is naturally unblockable). Ergo, Aegis (and any other block) does nothing to stop it. It also relies on landing a skill, so Blind should stop it.

Everything is working perfectly with this.

Besides, if you really want to land a Dark Path on an evasive opponent, secure it with Fear.
100% accuracy, confirmed.
