Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

Will Baselisk Venom turn a foe into stone/stun a foe everytime it is hit with one of your attacks?

If so, does this mean that a single target could be turned to stone/stunned every single hit I land on him/her for 30 sec (duration of the BV skill)?

I do not seem to find a maximum of hits it lasts

It only applies to your next hit after using the Venom, and the next hit of any allies affected by it. I’m not sure if the duration stacks between players, I’m afraid, but I know it hits Break Bars pretty hard when you have a team around you.

Ow, seems a but useless to me then…40 sec cooldown, 1 sec stunfor an elite skills could be a lot better..

ye thief elites are pathetic compared to other classes

It was good with half duration on two stacks but baseline sharing would make it OP so they nerfed it.

It’s a strong elite given it provides an unblockable attack. The HoT powercreep with 20s cooldown 3s stuns only makes it seem weak.

My point still stands. Tornado is trash, and Rebound is purely used for a free aoe aura. The death heal is laughable at best.

Basilisk Venom is a Single hit and it doesn’t stack between other Thieves that might share it.
It should also be noted that Stability and ofcourse Immunities (Mesmer’s Distortion, Guard’s Renewed focus etc.) fully negate the effect.

It’s a good Elite though, it can be used to interrupt abilities that block, which can be huge to finish of a fight in PvP/WvW. In PvE it’s also good because it’s shared between 5 people, so it’s a solid option to get some break bars down.
