Guild Wars 2

So here’s my situation. First my build (sPvP)

Scepter/Dagger

30% condition duration – Trait line
20% bleed duration – Major trait
20% bleed duration – 2 sigils of agony
33% scepter-applied condition duration – Major Trait
15% bleed duration – Rune of Centaur
15% bleed duration – Rune of Krait
10% condition duration – Rune of Lyssa

Now through all of this I should have a total of +143% bleed duration. The scepter 2 skill has a base bleed duration of 7 seconds which goes up to 11 1/2 seconds with all this on. So I’m just wondering if this is a bug or if some of these don’t stack or something as there is nothing indicating it shouldn’t be a 17 second bleed.

The tooltips are bugged.

So they are lasting 17 seconds? I haven’t actually had a chance to test it since I noticed that.

Oh didn’t notice rune of the afflicted thanks.

I don’t believe those sigils of agony will stack on the weapons. I haven’t tested those particularly, but other sigils only apply to the weapon itself. So, in other words, you would only get 10% from sceptor skills and 10% from dagger skills, not 20% from both. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this is current spvp functionality on those. Also, that build is glassy as all get out, eek!

Awesome, thanks for confirming.

Also I’ll now proceed to steal your build.

Might i recommend 2 Runes of the Afflicted instead of Lyssa. You’ll get +28 condition damage, +15% bleed duration.

And yea, tool-tips are bugged.

148% bleed increase.

Link ends up as Bad Link, I wanted to check it out can you repost ? Also for those fo you who have slotted your character with bleed duration / condition duration do you find that to be more viable then just slotting for condition damage / bleed damage? Would love to hear input on that subject.

Just copy and paste the url into the address bar manually.

Last time I tested (little while before this patch), sceptre auto bleeds were 5 second base duration (not 4) and the 33% longer sceptre trait boosts them by exactly 45% not 33%. While it’s still 33% for Grasping Hands.

Ascii, I cannot duplicate 100%+ chance to bleed on crits with two Sigils of Earth. Some still fail to provide two bleeds with scepter, or one bleed with dagger deathly swarm crits.

I never once saw 3 bleeds from Scepter auto-attack while untraited. If you did, it is likely from the free 5 point trait in your curses line which is a 1 sec bleed on crits itself – separate from the sigil.

Percentages don’t stack like that anyway in math. With two 60% chances, if they are both working your odds to proc a bleed on crit would be very high, but less than 100%. I believe 84% actually.

My testing on the test golems is getting very odd results. The scepter does appear to proc a lot with 2 sigils, prob at the 84% number, but off hand seems far less. And Feast of Corruption seems to rarely ever proc a bleed on crit, and Deathly Swarm is similar on its bounces.

Anyhow figuring out if the extra 24% to proc bleed from two sigils – if they do work – is better than straight out 5% crit sigil is rather tricky.

I already posted this build in the build thread under sPvP pressure build, including some strategy tips.

Looks like the trait sections differ a little bit between this build and yours. I think yours would of been more widely known / discussed if you had included a link to the build for ease of use.

Yup, that’s definitely a good idea. Here it is:
