Guild Wars 2

This is something I’ve been curious about for a while. When a Necromancer enters Death Shroud, he gains a second health bar (I’m assuming, I’ve never played Necro). But thieves have many traits and such based on an enemy’s health threshold. How does that work against Death Shroud?

For example, if a Thief bursts a Necro down to 15% natural health, then the Necro enters Death Shroud, what is the Necro’s health percentage according to Thief mechanics?

Would a Heartseeker do damage based on >50% health or <25%?
Would Unrelenting Strikes or an unused Panic Strike proc?

Many thanks! :-D

Ps. Also, are the above traits/attacks affected by the health percentage of a “downed” healthbar?

Traits look at health, not class mechanic.
Necro’s gain a bar of Deathshroud, not a bar of Health.

Traits treat down state as a new/second bar of health.

In other words, a necro at 15% HP and 90% deathshroud takes highest-tier damage from heartseeker, takes executioner damage, etc.

Thanks, guys! :-)
