Guild Wars 2

So I managed to get my daze durtion up to 3 secs using Banshee’s Wail. I wanted to raise it to 4, and rune of the mesmer gives an extra 33% daze duration, However on adding rune of the mesmer, my daze duration is still 3.. Basic math: 33% of 3 is 1 therefore 3+1=4.

Not quite. 33% of 2 is .66. Banshee’s Wail is +50% duration on the 2 second Daze, not a base increase to 3 seconds. Banshee’s Wail + Rune of the Mesmer is +83% duration on the 2 second base, or 3.66 seconds.

I run Sigil of Paralyzation on my warhorn and have tested extensively. Since we only have the one daze on our class, the Runes really aren’t worth it.

oh so the calculation method i used was wrong, OK thanks

wait a minute i remembered something: i also have 30% condi duration from the spite tree.
30(spite)33(rune of mesmer)+50(Banshee’s wail)=113? Or am I doing something wrong here? Sorry for not mentioning this earlier

Daze is not a condition

seriously? if it’s not a condition then what is it?

MAN.9046:

seriously? if it’s not a condition then what is it?

An effect.

Easy way to tell:
If it’s a red pentagon pointing down, it’s a condition (exception: Agony).
If it’s a yellow pentagon pointing up, it’s a boon
If it’s a square of any color, it’s an effect.

ah ok. Thanks for the clarification
