Guild Wars 2

It’s 5.25% damage boost if traited. Remember it has 20 sec cd after it dies, so it’s 60 secs with it, then forced 20 secs without it. 75% uptime, so end result is 7% * 0.75 in prologed fights. yeah i know, kick in the nuts but had to set it straight.

You’re right, but you know most boss fights don’t last more than 1 minute. So you’ll have your spirit back for the next boss

While your math seems right, this seems more like semantics than anything. As Jeremlloyd said if it’s taking you longer than 60s to finish a fight, you’re doing something wrong. Unless it’s PvP of some form.

The spirit’s buff actually persists for 10 seconds after the spirit dies, so your math is incorrect.

More an attempt to be difficult than to provide any useful info.

Has this actually been verified? I ask because I didn’t see 70% proc after I traited from sun spirit. Is there an internal cooldown or something after it procs?

Update: In the discussion tab on the wiki someone has stated that they tested it and this spirit, unlike the other spirits, doesn’t have an internal cooldown. So yes, while its up, it is a 7% damage increase.

First of all it is 10 seconds of no buff. When spirit dies either from time or actual death, it pops the buff one last time.

Other than that, who actually cares?
