Guild Wars 2

I’ve been searching and searching non stop yet I can’t find the information anywhere.

A while back I think I might have read somewhere that the 6th rune bonus which has a 5% chance on hit to summon a jagged horror with a 60sec cooldown would actually interfere with the Reanimator trait by triggering when a Jagged Horror would be summoned by killing something, and that the cooldown for that would end up being 60 seconds instead of 30.

Now I’m not sure if my memory serves me right and not sure if they fixed this if it was indeed an issue, anyway the point is;

I’m trying to make a perfect minioon build and I’ve been wondering about some runes, I wanna know; does the Rune of the Lich’s 6th ability and the Reanimator trait interfere with each other? Will I be able to kill something, get a Jagged Horror, get hit and ALSO get a Jagged Horror? I mean… can I have two Jagged Horrors out at once using both different ability things?

if you really want more minions, why don’t you use any other rune set that gives you a ally? The jagged horror is the only rune based pet that bleeds to death.

Unfortunately I can’t test it right now, but if you really want to know, just try it in the heart of the mists, you can get the rune set there for free, and kill the test mobs there to find out: i.e. get hit until the runes give you the jaggy, then finish off the mob and see if you get another. That’s the only way it might interfer, it shouldn’t just increase the CD of a trait somehow.

Doesn’t work, target golems don’t attack you so I can’t test being hit. Only the actual fighters hit you, either way that doesn’t work because once you finish them off for whatever reason a Jagged Horror actually doesn’t spawn with the Reanimator trait.

Also I want runes which give me toughness or vitality or both, the condition duration is nice enough and the reason I pick this over other runes with pets (well I haven’t yet picked it, I’m still looking into it) is that unless the rune gives me a necrotic-like pet, I don’t want it thank you very much.

Edit: I obviously want things that are useful to me but more than anything it needs to look cool and match my character, I’m a Necromancer, I want dead things. Which is why I just down right ignore the Shadow Fiend, that thing’s not dead, it’s just a dark shadow monster… not dead rotting flesh – I do not like it.

So no one knows? Shame.
