Guild Wars 2

I don’t understand what the duration near Vampiric Aura means. Is it like that it works only 9 seconds into combat and then it becomes useless? The same for Last Rites, does it only work for 9 seconds as soon as someone gets downed?

That’s how long it’ll keep working if the necro moves out of range.

Once you enter combat Vampiric Aura will pulse every 3 seconds on up to 5 allies.
That means, once your allies have that buff they can move away from you and siphon health for 9 seconds. If they stay within range Vampiric Aura will refresh to 9 seconds with the next pulse.

Last Rites works permanantly.

Thanks, but i don’t think last rites works permanently. It has a 9s tooltip like vampiric aura.

Oh right, sorry. It works the same way as Vamp Presence.
