Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

I recently came back to try out those new traits and I’m kind of confused to why A-net would replace the 50% bleed duration with a 33% extra duration since it kinda throws you away from round numbers and removes a lot of potential ticks on the Sword/Mh Burst Skill Flurry.

Also I see we do not get any extra condition duration anymore with our trait lines, is there actualy a way to compensate for the current loss of condition duration? (beside food?). My build was calculated around having 100% Bleed duration to get the maximum out from Flurry and now I feel like I am wasting a lot of gear on bonuses which I could allocate elsewhere.

Do you guys have any info about upcoming changes on that regard?

sigils and runes.

Its not just the bleed duration, they also nerfed Attack of opportunity making it 5% instead of 10%.

Jumanji.8724:

sigils and runes.

I mentioned this when they first announced the changes, it would make sense for it to be at least 35%.

Runes can give 45% and the bleeding sigil gives 20%, which (with the trait) leaves you at 98% bonus bleeding duration, forcing you to use giver’s weapons, food or the 10% condition duration sigil to reach the cap.

Since food and giver’s stats aren’t available in pvp, that means you’d need to sacrifice both your sigil slots to reach a full 4s bleed on flurry (the on-crit trait also benefits notably.) Previously, you could reach the cap with the trait, runes and 1 point into Strength.

Well, reaching full 100% condi duration doesn’t matter anymore, since they added the partial condi ticks.

I replaced one of my sigils with a condition duration one and I am back to 98%. My Flurry is hitting for a whole 4sec again, but I did wish I had 100%! =D
