Guild Wars 2

I haven’t used any of the traps in my current build yet so far. However the new fire aura seems pretty cool. Might try and find room for flame trap on my bar now…Anyone else feeling the same?

Will definately experiment with it. Too bad the traits to increase trap effectiveness are in the wrong bloody tree though.

Tips:

1. Frost Shield stacks duration when you reapply it… so apply it back to back to back and have 10+ seconds of frozen fun.
2. Flame Shield refreshes duration when you reapply it… so wait a few seconds between leaps if the field lasts long enough.
3. Drakes will do a Tail Lash when they try to attack a target just barely outside melee range, so you can set it on a trap and get AoE Frost Armor from them once you get the knack.
4. Drakes doing a tail lash will grant AoE 3 stacks of Might on a fire field, and with Concentration Training this increases to 30 seconds (sometimes Concentration Training doesn’t work if the pet wasn’t in combat when it started the skill.)
5. Martial Mastery reduces cooldown on leaps for more bubble fun.
6. Off-hand Training reduces cooldown on Torch skills, and makes the fire field larger.
7. It is possible to have both Frost Shield and Flame Shield at the same time.

I have never had this experience. I think you should retest.

I’m not wrong. When I mouse over it after finishing a combo that takes a few seconds to execute, it often has 8-9 seconds left on the duration. I would show you, but time remaining does not show up on basic in-game screenshots.
