Guild Wars 2

Does anyone know if superior runes of the mesmer’s sixth bonus correctly affects Hilt Bash and Concussion Shot? Trying to work out a build using the six rune bonus plus Moment of Clarity to see how long a daze I can get. Couple this with ice sigil(s) on a bow and some frosty pets and it sounds like a good bit of CC.

Moment of clarity affects stuns, rune of the mesmer affects dazes.

Moment of clarity affects stuns, rune of the mesmer affects dazes.

In-game tooltip for MoC clearly says “Daze and stun duration”.

Moment of Clarity boosts Stuns, Dazes, and Fear that you cause by 100%, granted fear isn’t listed there… But it may just be the whole “rangers don’t have any direct access to it” sorta thing since it has always given us the buff since it’s an interrupt…

@OP: if you run Mesmer runes also pick up some sigs of paralyzation for total lock down.

If you are not from behind then yes, the runes will affect.
The problem is that the game consider “behind” everything that aren’t in a cone in front of the target, so most of the times you’ll cause stun instead of daze with Hilt Bash and Concussion Shot

I hadn’t thought about paralyze sigs…15%+33% on top of a duo of two second stuns, both on a 20 sec CD (when traited). Oh, this could just be nasty.

Don’t bother with Mesmer Runes

You won’t be able to get to a 3 second daze with them + Moment of Clarity

As for fear, we do have access to it via the boar pet, we have basically the warrior version of fear me and with 70% bonus duration from conditions, the bloody thing is 9 seconds long with Moment of Clarity.

Ah, good point. The game engine does not round up. I’m going to try the fear in PvP soon just to see what I can do. I have to admit though, locking down people is a fun high risk/high reward play style.
Now we just need to get the flamingo rex pink moa bird to immediately fire off its scream as soon as we hit F2. But different discussion, different time.

Moment of Clarity doesn’t actually work on the CC our pets do

It only works with the Boars items because we’re the one to use it.

Sooo… fear is affected by condition duration as well as stun duration? Enjoy it while it lasts I guess…

It’s always done this with moment of clarity, but it seems I’m the only one on this forum who used a boar pet with moment of clarity before it got buffed to ridiculous proportions.

I’m just loving the fact they upped Daze Duration as well with it.

Technobabble is bloody 6 seconds long now
