Guild Wars 2

To make it tick 2 times do u just need 100% cond dur? Just want to double check.

First, fear doesn’t tick, it’s a constant effect. Either way, I see what you’re trying to say.

Yes, you need 100% condition duration, assuming that the fear lasts a base 1 second.

He’s talking about the damage Necromancers can get from fear.

To answer the question, yes 100% duration = two fear damage ticks; assuming they don’t use a stun or have the condition cleansed.

ok cool so if u have master of terror u only need 50% more duration. thanks

You do not require 2 seconds of fear to get 2 ticks of terror, this is the same for all damaging conditions. When you first apply a condition to a target, it starts a timer. Every condition applied thereafter is on the exact same timer. That timer determines the ticks, meaning that all ticks tick at the same time.

So, if I apply a bleed, and then 0.5 seconds later apply a 1.6 second fear, the fear will tick at the timer of 1 second, with 1.1 seconds of fear left (tick 1) then again when there is 0.1 seconds of fear left (tick 2).

so exact way to get 2 ticks off would be? just want to make sure

The only way to guarantee two ticks is to have 2 seconds or more of duration. However if you are properly using terror (applying a condition first for the extra damage), anything around 1.5-1.7s should be enough.

I have runes of the necromancer and master of terror which puts me at 1,75 seconds and seems my terror fear to always tick twice. Just test it out for yourself in the heart of the mists man.

Sums up the thread. Same thing I said, I just didn’t go into as much depth.

/thread gg

If you want 100% chance of ticking more, go 100% fear duration and never look back

While it can tick more even with 70% condi duration, sometimes it won’t and you will lose a free 1k+ hit.

You would only need Pizza and giver’s weapon if you take the trait, or no giver’s and any combination of 2x Lyssa or Mad king.

I have a Terror/Master of Terror build :

x6 Nightmare Rune
Carrion Weapons S+D / St (Corruption / Geno) + (Geno)
Rabid Armour

Condition duration: 10% (Rune) + 40% (Pizza) + 50% Trait = 100%

I like Nightmare because the x6 bonus fears!

Thanks guys, I could of tested it but ppl here also throw out ideas which I could of missed. Thanks again.
