Guild Wars 2

Can someone explain this to me?

“•The following skills and traits have had their Life Steal functionality standardized, fixing several exploits and bugs across the game:
Revenant:
•Enchanted Daggers
•Assassin’s Annihilation
•Focused Siphoning”

And also:
“Sigils:
•Sigil of Blood
•Sigil of Leeching”

What does it mean “standardized”?
Thanks for the help!

I would like to know also tbh.

I’d guess being able to penetrate damage reduction…

Or they standardized the amount stolen instead of having varying values across different skill/items

Doesn’t work Assassins Annihilation, ED and whatnot all steal a different amount. And they still do.

Probably means that they all work the same internally, to fix exploits that allowed you to prevent invulnerabilities. I think they attempted to fix that in the past (not allowing old dark fields + projectiles to do that anymore) but some things still worked.

You could kill the Jade Maw or Liadri in the Queen’s Gauntlet despite their invulnerabilities to regular damage using life leeching combos or the items listed. Especially with Jade Maw it really sped up the second phase, you just placed the Rev with his Hammer close enough, use Hammer 4 + Shiro Heal + Imp. Odds and burst down the Jade Maw in 5 seconds.
I didn’t test it, but I assume this isn’t possible anymore.

All guesswork, of course.
