Guild Wars 2

Is the daze duration on tactical strike increased by runes of the mesmer?

I’ve tested it, and it doesn’t seem like the daze duration is increased, but I haven’t tested it particularly rigorously.

Can anyone confirm?

I’m going to test this out a little more tonight, but if anyone else has looked into it I’d be interested to see the results.

It depends on where you tested it. I recall the duration being nerfed in sPvP to only 1.5 seconds rather then 2.

Just tested it in PvE and it looks like the duration is increased (easier to notice b/c of longer duration).

The real question is whether it stacks with sigil of paralyzation. If so then we’re looking at over 3 seconds of tactical strike…

Sigil of paralyzation will only increase stun duration, not daze duration.

Sigil of paralyzation used to increase the daze effect from Tactical Strike and for a long time the rounding would put it to 3 seconds, but that was changed last year

I’ve tested and either of the upgrades will bring the daze duration to approx 2 seconds (57 frames on a 20 fps recording) but they do not stack.

Although the description only mentions stuns, Sigil of Paralyzation does also affect dazes and has always done so.

but didnt they change that some months ago?
when they changed sigil of paralysation increasing fear duration?
and changed the increased daze/stun duration from +1second(rounded up) to the actual value (15%, i think?)?

Yeah I thought so too but I tested it with the necro warhorn daze (2 sec) and it worked, so it seems that they didn’t change that.

Sigil of paralyzation will increase daze duration, but not stack on top of the duration given from mesmer runes. I was mistaken above.

I don’t have any specific information about this topic, but according to the wiki, modified effect durations are never rounded, it’s only rounded for the tooltips.
