Guild Wars 2

The Impale debuff should last longer on enemy in order to do some Rip play.
The torments can still be applied within 4 seconds, but the imaple debuff it’self should last longer. i suggest between 8-10 seconds.

Right now, all you do is impale, no one ever touch the Rip.
The benefit from fully applied impale is too great compared to Rip, impale debuff is too short and it’s more simple game play.
You can even remove the Rip, and no one will notice a thing.

The only conceivable reason to rip is when you’re fighting an enemy that has low toughness but high condition removal/vitality and you’re running a hybrid build. Then rip would do enough damage to warrant its use, but outwise… Meh. Fire and forget. An extra 2-3 seconds longer on the debuff after torment is applied is all that would be necessary to make it… Well, not useful, but used in general situations.
