Guild Wars 2

Hello,
Anobydoy knows if those 2 traits (crit = 3 times as much adrenalin and crits with axes grant more adrenalin) stack ?
I don’t know if these traits say 1 crit = 2 strikes or 1 crit=3 strikes, or if it means 1 crit = 1+1 bonus and 1 crit 1+2 bonus.

In the end, the question is : do you have 5/6 times (depending if additive or multiplicative) as much adrenalin on crit, or is it the strongest one that prevails (furious) ?

I was under the impression that the axe trait gives one extra strike of adrenaline (don’t remember where I heard it) and furious gives two, so I would assume that you just get four strikes per axe crit, but I’m not sure.

They do work together to give lightning fast adrenaline gain.

I would assume it’s a total of quadruple adrenaline gain. The alternative would be double then triple (or vice versa) for six times adrenaline.

Thanks for the answers ! If it’s really that, it’s really good to combine with the grandmaster trait improving burst skills for an axe.
Hope you guys are right :P

They are stackable but who ever whote the patch note didn’t knew how the Furious trait worked. Furious only gives an extra strike of adrenaline whenever you deal critical damage, so you actualy get 2 strikes of adrenaline instead of 3, to proof my statement you could use Flurry on sword. You will gain a single strike of adrenaline on each of its critcal hits, Rampager sword builds can basicaly build up to 30 stacks of adrenaline when hitting 3 targets with a Flurry.

Sames is applied with Sharpened Axes, you get an aditional strike of adrenaline (only with axes) whenever you deal crit damage. So taking those 2 traits will result in gaining 3 strikes of adrenaline whenever you deal critical damage. But I don’t think it is needed to take both of them sinds taking one of those is far from enough to generate 30 strikes of adrenaline before your burst is off cooldown.

Hope it helps.

Ok thanks. I tried it and it seems indeed to stack.
It’s useless however since CD on the burst is not up when your adrenalin is full again.

Not if you use 2 weapons burst.

Yes they stack, but I really found it to be overkill adren generation even with popping both bursts as quick as possible.

Yeah, as deathTouch said, I also tried it and found it to be overkill and consequently a waste. You just trait one or the other but both is meh.
As for using 2 weapon bursts … other weapons burst aren’t that good in PvE especially.
GS = useless, other access to fury are better
Sword = still weak weapon in PvE
Axe = only real good burst and good weapon overall
Rifle = kinda powerful but not a very good weapon in groups
Bow = the only useful weapon with quite an acceptable burst, but still not as good as Axe’s
Mace = some people use this in PvE ? :o (based on CC + defiance = you’re kittened)
Hammer = not a very good weapon either in PvE (based on CC + defiance = you’re kittened)
