Guild Wars 2

Yo guys so this trait casts enfeebling blood on entering shroud and says it causes weakness on critical hits, it says the trait has an internal cooldon on 10 seconds.

So is the internal cool down reflecting enfeebling blood or the weakness on crit? Or do they share the cool down?

I think what it is, is that every ten seconds you can inflict weakness on critical hit. Whenever you enter deathshroud, you cast enfeebling blood. That’s what would make the most sense to me.

Agreed,the weakness on critical hits have an ICD which is 10 seconds. The enfeebling blood spell will activate regardless,it does not have any ICD,it’s “CD” is entirely dependent on your Death Shrouds CD. Say your DS have a CD of 10 sec atm. You can cast enfeebling blood every 10 sec flashing in and out of DS.

If you reduced the CD on DS to 5 seconds you can cast enfeebling blood every 5 seconds flashing in and out.

ICD on Weakness and no ICD on Enfeebling blood

But shouldn’t it have the Enfeebling blood cooldown? Otherwise that would mean “Plague Sending” also has 0 CD as opposed to 30 and 24 with signet mastery, and that sounds incredibly strong as kitten…

Note how all other traits (like Plague Sending) say “This trait benefits from the recharge bonus of…”.

Also, it only makes sense for a trait that is already gated by life force and the cd of Shroud to not have an additional cooldown of its own.
Then again, Spiteful Spirit didn’t get the same treatment, which is weird.

I’m pretty sure the way it’s worded is that it casts “Enfeeble” and not “Enfeebling blood” which is the same skill, but a different cooldown.

Correct.

Also, self-range instead of 900.

Then they changed it back from their trait-preview and I just missed it, because back then they showed it (and toxic landing) to cast enfeebling blood/CPC with their respective CD’s. My bad.

You are correct, what they did was move it from adept to GM, and added in the old withering precision on top, and removed the ICD.

And buffed old Withering Precision by halving that cooldown.

The range of Enfeeble is so tiny, it’s almost not worth having. Withering Precision, on the other hand, is the condition trait my power necromancer always wanted.
