Guild Wars 2

From the patch notes: Terror: Reduced the damage by 17%. Fixed a bug so this trait now checks for the torment condition as well.

What does the bolded part mean?

It means they found yet another bug. This game is infested.

Terror does extra damage per tick if there’s another condition on the target. However since Torment wasn’t added until recently, it seems like the code to check for extra damage wasn’t considering Torment. So if you had Torment and Fear on the same target, you wouldn’t get the extra Terror damage even though you should. The bolded part is saying that this has now been fixed and the bonus Terror damage will work no matter what other conditions are on your target.

Ah, so it wasn’t giving the extra damage when only torment was on the target. Ok, thank you.
