Guild Wars 2

Leeching Venoms: Shadow Arts, master
Steal health when triggering a venom. This can only occur once per strike.
What exactly is meant with per strike?

I use dagger for main hand, and the auto-attack is a 3 strikes chain where the 3rd attack is Lotus Strike which applies poison.

When I use the trait, does that mean my thief is healed every time she uses Lotus Strike?

Search back and you’ll find previous threads with exact answers.

No, Leeching Venoms applies very specifically to “venom” type utilities. If you take a look at your utilities, you will see that they have a type prefix. For example, Shadow Step is a deception type utility, where as your signets are (obviously) signet types.

So, whenever you see a trait that mentions a type, it means that type very specifically, and nothing else. The poison you apply with Lotus Strike is just a condition named poison and has nothing to do with the venom type utilities.

Hope I helped!

Would that have been so hard for you to do, Stooperdale? If you’re not going to be helpful, don’t even bother posting on a thread asking for help. You might try to argue that this question has been answered before and the OP could have done a search, but it’s an incredibly rare question so finding an answer would be a lot harder than finding an answer to “how to stealth” or something like that. ;\

Also per strike they mean that even if you stack two different venoms at the same time
the leeching only happens once, even though you are using the stacks of 2 venoms.
