Hello good friends from far and wide,

I haven’t kept in the loop of too much lately, and I’m not sure if this is old news or not, but since Anet nerfed stability of many professions I decided to try a good old Terrormancer in sPvP and I found something interesting…. not only did Terrormancer seem effective but…..

Tainted Shackles now applies 2 torment instead of 1. In total it applies 6 torment… AoE… which is pretty significant imo. With a proper combo, the enemy can end up with 13 torment.

Is this new or is this old news or stealth buff? :P

Skill history says nothing, so it is likely a bug. Anet will probably fix soon.

Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death.

I’m not sure anymore now that you’ve made this post, but I think it’s always been 2 stack per pulse?

No, it was 1 stack per pulse but I cannot tell whether the change was with the last patch or an earlier one.

Let’s hope not because it’s pretty kitten good the way it is now. Actually makes it a powerful skill. They also updated the tooltip so I doubt it was a bug because they wouldn’t go through all that trouble. We’ll see tho.. .fingers crossed :P

I checked from some previous video I had and saw 3 stacks. I can’t remember if this buff was done this last patch or not. No idea…… Either way… I’ll take it

As a power necro who often roams wvw, I really noticed the revealed buff.
