Guild Wars 2

The length of reanimator appears to scale with level. When I was downscaled to level 31, it lasted 10 seconds…

However, when I was level 80, it lasted 19 seconds…

So it’s better than what Jon Peters said (11 seconds), and it’s much better than what some people around here have claimed.

It doesn’t mean it’s useful.

Okay, now do your test in a dungeon when there’s constant AoE going on.

It seems to last longer at higher levels than lower levels… It was the first trait I got on my new necro and it lasts only a few seconds…

minions scales with character lvl. no surprise there.
Jon Peters not testing the useless jagged horror… no surprise there too

Interesting. Does the “Minions have 50% more health” trait affect its duration?

This is something I’ve noticed since level 30 or 40. Before those levels it dies in literally 2-5 seconds it seems, and after that it actually has the time to make it to the next enemy

A reminder that the game is tuned around sPVP, where everyone is L80s in exotics?

Technically yes since the health taken off is a flat amount.

Unfortunately they’ve got a few incorrect parameters in the code which is why they die so fast and it keeps ticking away at non-existent health after it’s already gone. In other words, someone screwed up the math.

^ incorrect. jagged horrors bleed out in a percentage-based manner. no matter the hp level, they will bleed out in equal amounts of time.

the 50% minion hp trait is better utilized by the flesh golem

Sorry but I disagree. When I first saw one of these critters I was ~40 and it was gone in seconds. Now I’ve just hit 80 they last a noticeably longer amount of time, almost enough to be semi-not-quite-useful.

They still continue to bleed out once dead though, that hasn’t changed…

Who ever is right, this traits is still really bad.

Mine seem to stick around quite a while also. I get them from lich form
