Guild Wars 2

Hi,

activation time for warrior weapon skills mean how long it will take until the attack is performed.
As the warrior has chainskills, i would expect a time delay between each “stage”. But the skills do not always display an activation time in my client.
For example:
Axe:
Chop – 0.25
Double Chop – (empty)
Tripple Chop – 1.5
Sword:
Sever Artery – (empty)
Gash – 0.5
Hamstring – 0.25

So i would expect, from that numbers, the complete Axe chain to take 1.75 s and the Sword chain only 0.75 s.
Or is there any “hidden” delay like a global cooldown on skills which adds up in here?

Thanks,

Ok, i’m really surprised on this one.
During my current investigations, i’ve seen that gw2-wiki does state times for “the whole sequence” when looking at the first skill of a chain.
For Axe, it states 2.9s.
For Sword, it states 2.5s.
For Greatsword, 2.4s.
For Hammer, 2.75s.
…

As the difference between the numbers of Axe and Sword (to be in line with the intial post) is 0.4s, there seems to be a different CD between skills in addition to “Activation Time”. Obviously, that CD is depending on the weapon, maybe even the skill. At least, gw2-wiki doesn’t seem to display that information, so maybe someone can comment on it….

Thanks,

EDIT: I just have seen that gw2-wiki changed the activation times for sword. It is now 0.5, 0.5 and 0.25, which would add up to 1.25s pure activation time for the chain. That would, in regard to “whole sequence take 2.5s” mean that there is a global CD on the chain of another 1.25s. As this does not devide evenly between three chain skills nicely, i assume that the CD is not evenly distributed between the skills…..
