Guild Wars 2

Just need a quick explanation regarding the bleed stacks that build up while both a pet and the ranger are attacking.

For instance, if a lynx manages to build up a stack of 8-9, will this also be considered the rangers stack if they started attacking with shortbow? or are they completely separate calculations?

I’d test this myself, won’t have access to my desktop for a bit

Pets have their own malice (condition dmg bonus) so each stack the pet applies will tick for its base 42~ dmg regardless of any other condition applied by anyone to the target.

This is correct.

You can buff pet condi damage through Expertise Training (WS 10pt trait) boosting their Condi damage by 350 at lv 80, so it wont -have- to be Base.

hmm, I follow you, now I’m just curious….

Let me put it in layman’s terms.

If my lynx get’s those 8 stacks of bleed, and I hit for maybe 1 stack, will damage start flying like I have 9 stacks?

It will start flying as though your pet is doing 8 stacks worth, and you are doing 1 stacks worth. They don’t stack into one single entity, but are based off any individual that applies the bleed. Any bleeds you stack on a target will be your own, and will only count for your own stacks.

Unfortunately the number stacks, even though the damage doesn’t, and there is no way to tell how many stacks you yourself have on a target.

Alrighty, thanks!

If you apply 1 stack and your pet applies 8 then yes, the target will show 9 stacks total. You also see the dmg numbers for the bleed.

You see all dmg numbers for the pet, as if they were your own, direct and condition.
