Guild Wars 2

Does it have one? I believe before it did not, but with all the tooltip fixing they have been doing, seems like there is one now because tooltip says so. cant find anything recent about it on the google, has this been tested?

It has always said that. It doesn’t have one. If they ever fix it, it will be devastating for rangers.

Hm.
That’s a good question.

I’m not sure where steady weapons are right now, if they even still exist at all. So it’s kind of hard to test?

…I think a pulse might work as jerry rig? pulses do have a natural variance and are susceptible to critical hits, like weapons. But it’s uniformly steady throughout a single application and obviously there’s more than one of them every 10 seconds.

Viper’s Nest
49, 49, 49 / 51, 51, 51 / 49, 49, 49 / 49, 49, 49 / 51, 51, 76

Viper Nest with Frost Spirit
48, 48, 79 / 49, 54, 54, / 53, 80, 48 / 50, 50, 50 / 54, 54, 49

I think frost spirit still not having a cooldown is a promising hypothesis.
The 49, 54, 54 datapoints seem to make the best case for it. The difference between 49 and 54 numbers is 10%, and there’s two 54’s back-to-back in a single viper’s nest.

If they ever add an ICD to Frost Spirit, then the number of viable dungeon classes in this game will decrease from 7 to 6.

I often see spirit rangers in sPvP , stacking 30 seconds of protection in 5 seconds, just with their stone spirit.
