Guild Wars 2

So I didn’t know where to put this but I think Entangles description needs to be rewritten.

It says:

Entangle your foe. They are immobile until the vines are destroyed.

But I realized that it doesn’t effect just one foe. So I believe it should be rewritten to:

Entangle your foe and foes near your target. They are immboile until the vines are destroyed.

Cool thanks ^.^

That’d be misleading, it’d be “Entangle all nearby foes, immobilizing them until the vines are destroyed.”

sorry for being nit picky xD

well I was thinking that as well but technically it isn’t all nearby foes. It has a target range on it and I feel like its more of a target thing then a nearby thing. But I know what you mean it just needs to be changed.

I think it’s a radius around you isn’t it? because i know i’ve used it without having a target and it’ll just get all the guys near me..

btw, is there a cap on how many people you can grab with it?

idk it doesn’t say anything in the description xD fail

Sorry, but no. It is a PBAoE (Point Blank Area of Effect) skill. That is, it affects targets in a radius centered on you, not on something you have targeted. Regardless of what you have targeted, it will fire off, engangling targets near you, not near your target. Your current target is irrelevant. Your current target could be out of range or non-existent and you will still immobilize stuff near you.

So Durzlla is right. Suggesting that it entangles targets near your current target would be wrong. It is targets near you.

I’d assume everything within the skill’s target range of 600 is affected. Is this true?

I also want to ask one thing, regarding the bleeding by entangle. at the description, it shows as if entangle does 20-intensity bleed, but when I cast it to a mob, sometimes no bleeding at all, most of the time only 1-intensity bleed… is it bugged ?

It applies the bleed over 20 seconds. It’s not a 20 intensity bleed, thats insanely powerful, but rather 1s bleed reapplied every one second.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Entangle

no.. I already check.. it shows number 20 beside the bleed icon meaning 20-intensity…. my condition damage is 950 points, and at the description of entangled it shows 20-intensity bleed over 8 seconds that does 14k damage….. i tried making screenshot but it does not capture the description….

Look at the page I linked

that’s what wiki says, but in-game description says differently…. ok you answer : why is there description saying 14k damage for entangled in my game ?

ok i found the answer to the 14k damage.. the intensity is indeed 20.

the bleeding calculation is like this :

2.5 + 0.5 * Level + 0.05 * Condition Damage= per stack per secon

my level : 80
condition damage : 950

so my bleed per tick = 2.5 + 0.5×80 + 0.05×950 = 90 per stack (intensity)

assuming my the intensity of 20 was correct, bleed over 8 seconds give = 90 × 20 × 8 = 14400k damage…..

so, either the description was wrong, OR the skill is bugged since it doesn’t give that damage….

@Azizul the description is NOT wrong, it applies an 8 second bleed, 20 times, when the number is on the condition it means it’s applied that many times, that’s why you get skills like bonfire that say they apply 8 stacks of burning, which does not stack in intensity, nor does it apply all 8 seconds at one time.

The description is not wrong, you’re just looking at it wrong, the skill does apply a 20 intensity bleed, just over 20 seconds, that is essentially a 1 intensity bleed for 160 seconds which is the exact same damage as a 20 stack of bleed for 8 seconds.

except that the mob doesn’t suffer the bleeding they are supposed to get when i applied entangled to them

nvm, i found in the ranger bug list, that the skill is indeed bugged….

Um… they do suffer the bleeding they’re supposed to because if you haven’t noticed it says it immobilizes them for 20 seconds, yet according to you they should get all 20 immediately…. i’d rather it stay as is because that means if they burn the 8-9 stacks of bleeding they’ll have after 9 seconds then they’ll still get bleeding, where if they burn it at all 20 boom, you lost all potential damage from it.

uuuuuu….. now names calling are we, genius ?

When you don’t understand a simple concept that’s been explained to you multiple times, and when you argue when provided an explanation to a question you asked. Yes, that makes you an idiot. Oh, and as a side note, I really, really hope your not from the USA

yes..i’m not from USA

Okay, then i can look past your poor english. But, as i’ve stated, its a 1s bleed reapplied over 20s. Its better than a 20int bleed.
