Guild Wars 2

Does Well’s pulses crit ? Is it worth to invest in critical chance + critical damage in well builds ?

yes and yes………

I run a wells build and have a crit chance well over 50% (and runed weapon that stacks extra precision)….it is quite effective in a support role especially with epidemic.

When does the crit chance for the wells get determined? When cast or at each pulse…

Let me explain: Suppose you have still 2 secs fury running when you cast the well… will only the first 2 pulses get the +20% crit chance, or will all 6 pulses get the benefit?

@VYPER all of the procs etc. are determined at each pulse which is why if you are blinded when a pulse goes through it doesnt hit for example. So in your example the Well would get +20% crit chance for the first 2 pulses only

Also a Well support build here and I can tell you as I’ve been swapping out condition gear for power/prec/%crit I have seen my Well damage consistently increase. I am currently focusing heavily on power/prec with some dip into %crit by mixing Knight and Valkyrie gear (trying to keep my Tough/Vit high as well). I am picking up some extra vit/%crit through jewelry (pow/vit/%crit gems… Beryl I think)

Currently what I’m using is a Rage/Accuracy Sigil combo on primary (which works really well). I haven’t decided what I want to slot into my staff yet. Perhaps someone could enlighten me on that.

Also as a side note, what is the best mainhand weapon to use with this type of build? I am currently using scepter even though it doesn’t scale well with power, but axe just seems really lackluster in it’s present form.
