Guild Wars 2

So, EB removes 3 condition every 10 seconds. SOR removes 1 (plus the active). My question is, whether they are synchronized so that the 10-second check occurs at the same time.

If that is the case, the benefit of running passive SOR with EB would occur only if you had 3+ conditions on you. If you had 2 or 3 conditions, then EB and SOR would be redundant.

Is my thinking correct? If not, can anyone explain how SOR and EB work and what, exactly, is the benefit of running them together?

thanks in advance!

Its not redundant because EB transfers the conditions to your pet.

SoR will remove one of those from your pet, which could be a high stack of bleed, but more important, removing Chill or Cripple from him

I use both and I find the increase in petsurvival is pretty big from not using SoR to using it when you have empathic bond, especially if you’ve got a low health pet without using one of the high healing power setups.

And the active from SoR is really good in certain situations since it will both cleanse stuns aswell as imobilize and other conditions a good example is getting stunned and caught in entangle while having conditions and bleeds shoved up your butt, one little click and poof it’s all gone.

I’ve always used SoR and Bak Skin never had an issue.

In my experience they both tick at the same time and are not out of sync, but I dont know for sure and I cant say I have ever specifically watched, thats just been my observation when I do look.

Personally I always prefer EB because I am a SoH junkie and cant play without the +25% speed, and then if I have to have SoR constantly on all my builds that leaves me only 1 utility to play with

Signet of renewal’s passive effect does not remove conditions from your pet. Unless this was changed in a recent update.

yea it does

Last I checked it did

Unless they’ve changed it here recently, its always removed conditions from your pet

edit

Just tested it again, and it still does remove the condition from the pet

I don’t use SoR because I have no place in bar for more signets :P
but when I’m not using signet of the stone, so that mean I have Lightning reflexes there (signet of the huntsignet of the wild)
