Guild Wars 2

I am talking about hammer/bow.
So i’ve been playing with Lyssa runes but recently i swapped to Eagle runes, now with eagle runes you gain extra 8% crit dmg and extra 5% dmg when enemy is below 50% hp, with lyssa runes you gain 10% condition duration, gaining random boon when you heal(wich if you use HS you tend to heal less so you don’t loose that passive) and when you use elite skill you loose all conditions and gain all buffs for 5 sec.

Now i ask you this, do we really need that 10% condition duration since you can only apply conditions with the bow and for example the fire is only 1 sec the blind is only 5 sec so the 10% increased condition duration seem like nothing, now also about the elite skill condition removal, since most of us run with berserker stance and also for every usage of the burst skill you loose 3 condition instantly(if you got that trait)do we really need those lyssa runes that much?So with eagle runes if ur fighting an enemy with less than 50% hp wich can be quite often ur doing constant 5% more dmg and if you crit you are doing 8% more crit dmg wich is pretty good when you think about it, so what is your opinion?

Sometimes additional stablity is worth it, even 5sec.

By the time you get to stomp those 5 sec might be over, if it was 8 sec i would say ok but 5 sec wich is actually 4 sec by the time you get to do smt is not worth in my opinion.

Stomp something other than a thief, ele, or a mesmer.

Or L2P, go for the stomp on those classes that you know can actually avoid it, THEN blow Lyssa after they have utilized that skill.

Against good oppenents the Lyssarune is needed. It isnt good because of the 10% condiduration, it is good because of the full condition clean and aegis.

In 1vs1 against terror-dhuumfire necro it is neccesary. But you shouldnt waste bersercer stance at the beginning you have to clean spite signet with Lyssarune and then you activate bers stance. therefore corrupted boons will not work.
Without lyssa runes you will drop down , if you are in a fear chain

You do know you can take off 3 conditions by using your burst skill right away yes? than swap to bow use it again remove them again, swap to hammer do it again, like i said i think the 5 sec are a bit low, they just dodge away and there goes 2-3 sec.
