Guild Wars 2

do these stack??. I have atm 20% from traits + 10% sigil + 30% from runes for a total of 60% but yet my tooltip for a skill like vital shot isnt correct.. shouldnt it be 6+ seconds? Currently its at 5 1/4 seconds.

The tooltip is a lie.

Are you talking Bleed duration or Poison duration?

If you are using 2 rune sets to get +15% duration from both.. 20% from traits and 10% from Sigil then yes it would be 60%

But you mention poison in your title.. so if one of the runes effect poison.. your bleed would only be at 45%

Krait/Affliction runes would offer two 15% duration increases for bleed. And yes, they do stack. And yes, the tooltip is a lie. Not sure where “poison” enters this conversation, however…

Anyway, got to the mists and test it out on a dummy. Keep in mind that conditions round off in such a way that if you’re not exceeding a certain value, you’re wasting a slot.

I ignore the tooltip and just go shoot something with auto shot turned off, count the ticks. Another recent thread at a good bit of math in it to help optimize your duration statcking.
