Guild Wars 2

The IX trait in the master critical strikes line is “combo for critical chance”. Its supposed to give dual skills an extra 5% chance to crit. The question I have is… is it only on the dual skill which is death blossom #3 (D/D example). Or is it on all skills that you have for that dual build 1-5.

Just wondering.

It only works on ‘3’ abilities, making it a lackluster to worthless trait.

“It only works on ‘3’ abilities, making it a lackluster to worthless trait.”

This is not true for builds that primarily use their #3 ability to spend excess initiative — d/p , p/p & s/p (and maybe some bleed d/d build, who knows)

Pretty good for S/P and P/P as it helps to stabilize your damage overtime in exchange for Critical haste which will let you get a quick burst in.

used to work great with a d/d condition build, would make deathblossom hits 100% critical which not only makes up for the reduced power but also triggered omnom pie every leap at least once if not twice.

It still works nicely for some builds but pie doesnt get as much advantage now due to the kitten internal cooldown.

Even if you rely heavily on the dual attack specifically, like with a P/P build, it’s still terrible. It could easily be twice what it is now and only be acceptable.
