Guild Wars 2

I know I’m going to have a DOH moment but how is this pet putting Weakness up on targets? I use SB….

On of its abilities does weakness, i think its the Tail Swipe.

This attack adds 5 seconds of weakness. I found out recently too^^
Was always wondering where that weakness was coming from

I thought a ‘Finisher’ need a Combo ‘Filed’? I don’t have any fields up but each time the pet uses Tail Swipe Weakness is up!

I wonder if Condition duration increases it?

condition duration does not increase it

The tail swipe applies the weakness. The ability is also a blast finisher, which can interact with combo fields for additional effects.

Malicious training should work for the pet (the trait for increased pet condition duration). But I didn’t test it. Your own condition duration doesn’t increase your pets condition duration.

The weakness is not part of the combo, just an undocumented bonus. Yes, the tail swipe is a combo finisher and finishers need combo fields to do a combo.

And no, your stats are separate from the pet.

No condition duration increase for pets … this trait doesnt work since last patch any more.

combo:
I like the fire trap with my drakes, every 15sec I can place a flame trap and switch pets for extra might and weakness.
