Guild Wars 2

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Burst_Mastery

From what i gathered from the POI, Burst mastery was mentioned, but then you went on to describe burst precision, so i’m assuming you got the two mixed up.

I’m assuming, that with burst mastery slotted, if i use an F1 skill during the berserker rage, it’ll effectively consume no adrenaline as it’ll immediately grant it all back?

Robert Gee.9246:

The intent on Burst Mastery is to restore 30% of the adrenaline spent when you use a burst skill, so it will restore 3 adrenaline when you use a primal burst. Sorry, no free lunch with this trait

Wait what? No invulnerability or 25 stacks of burning? Oh come on. Berserk feels so weak! It will just kill enemies in WvW by looking at them, I want to kill them with my mind!

Even if it did freecharge with Burst Mastery, there’d still be the 5s cooldown to work around. Swapping weapons nets you a second burst, but then you’re stuck for at least five seconds due to swap/PBurst cooldowns. If you really, really wanted to squeeze every last inch out of the freecharge, you could use the Warrior runes that give -1s cooldown to swapping, total 4s cooldown with Discipline line, and hope your skill animation on the second burst takes up the extra second so you can swap back and fire a third burst.

Honestly, Robert? If someone wants to micromanage their stuff enough to pull all of that off, I’m not really sure why the game shouldn’t let them. Besides, my Kagra’s a Sword build w/Furious – firing my PBurst means my adrenaline recharges for free anyways :P

Ok that’s nice to hear (one concern of my mind). But now this rises another question: What will happen with traits like furious, versitile rage? Will they still also return lower values or will they give a flat value ( therefore becoming stronger then burst mastery)?

Traits like Berserker’s Power are supposed to treat a full Pburst bar the same as a standard 30-point full adren bar, so you get the full strength of the trait. Looks like that’s the way it’ll be – Berserker’s Power checks state, while Burst Mastery restores percentage. Watch the tooltip for Burst Mastery change to 10/20/30% in a future update :P
