Guild Wars 2

Is perplexity rune aoe confusion? or its all one target? I need help with this guys :P pls reply as soon…. I thank you in advance.

its confusion on interrupt.

so….

interrupt them.

Necomancer interupts via fear, warhorn 4 and in some cases spectral grasp. I dont know if the Flesh Gollom charge procs it though???

But there is a cooldown on the confusion proc, so even if you use an aoe interrupt you’ll only put confusion on one target.
Also, minions can’t proc any gear related stuff like this.

As to the “goodness” of the runes: imo they were overpowered before, and they are even more so now since fear was fixed to count as an interrupt. So yes, they are definitely a good choice for a condi build, if that’s what you’re wondering.

thanks for the reply so far :P more would appreciated too

There was a thread related to this not too long ago:

Perplexity is very very strong on a roaming necro. 6/6/2/0/0 or 4/6/4/0/0 are extremely strong one vs one and even 1 vs 2. Run dire/rabid (only enough precision for 30% crit chance at most) gear a sigil of corruption and a sigil of torment on s/d and you will be very tough. For utilities it is really up to you. I’m good at kiting so I run spectral wall corrupt boon and signet of spite, but you could take spectral walk/armor or flesh wurm if you want a stun break. In all seriousness though 2k condition damage, 70% condition duration and every condition in the game with 6/6/2/0/0 is almost unbeatable 1vs1.

Perplexity isn’t just good… its frikin AMAZING

I love fighting another perplexity thief letting him interrupt me then interrupting him and transferring. 16 stacks of confusion wtf!?!?

Just to note, it depends on what the proc is. Flesh Golem doesn’t proc this because he is the one interrupting your target, not you. However he will proc Krait runes because those proc off of using an elite skill, which is fulfilled whenever you summon him or use charge. So it depends on if the proc is based off of just using a skill, or based off an action that you are trying to have the minions do.

On summoning Flesh golem Runes of the Krait trigger. However on charge it does not trigger. You don’t get 2 uses out of it. That’d be nice but it isn’t the case.

It doesn’t overcome the ICD but both are capable of procing the rune set.

I’ll have to test that and get back to you.

Hey, you’re right. What a pleasant surprise!

I actually really like Runes of perplexity. If I ever decide to get into WvW I’ll be sure to use them. But then the question becomes, do I want to use warhorn or offhand dagger? Hmmm.

Depends on if your comfortable with your condi clear without the dagger 4. If you are then warhorn would be the way to go I think depending on the build.

Perplexity runes are so broken and never should have been in the game. I can only really speak from a engineer/thief perspective but those stupid runes are responsible for half the damage done to a downed enemy. No rune should be that powerfull.

If you have something around or close to 2000 condi damage in WvW (which you can easily archive with both stacks and food) perplexy runes make your enemy kill himself. You dont even have to time your interrupts, the random ones that happen are enough.

Personally, I find doom and reapers mark enough. Also, despite this post ^ the majority of your damage is still coming from bleeds, and the extra condition transfer is op against other condi builds.

…thats why I usually dont bother and just run around any condi necro that I encounter on my engi in 1v1 WvW roaming, not like you could chase me in any way

i’ll see your perplex runes and raise you one plague signet.
now go pwn yourself for my amusement on your own confusion.
that reminds me i ran into a perplex necro while my garrison was being hit, she put like 10+ stacks of confusion on me, gave it back, then she died. shame.

Choxie runs perplexity.

just something to get an idea of what it can do.
