Guild Wars 2

Hi, i’m not sure if i’m understanding this trait/perk right or not, but here goes.

I think it’s in the defense trait under the first 10 lot of points, number 3. “Increase the duration of stances by 25%”. I have this on, and when i use “no pain” stance or “frenzy” stance, the amount of time it stays activated is the same as if there’s no 25% increase at all. ie, 5 seconds and 3 seconds. If i take this perk off they still go for that same amount of time.

unless it doesn’t mean the stance is supposed to last 25% longer? if not, what the heck does it actually mean and what does it do? because it’s definitely not “increasing any durations of stances”

thank you in advance for your help.

the tooltip doesn’t changes, but you can notice the increased duration when you cast it

Well at least i know the meaning of the perk was right. And FYI you can’t notice the increased duration, not on my character anyway.

It’s a useless trait anyway. I would have preferred it lowered the cooldown of stances. The change is so small I sometimes felt like it was a placebo effect.

That trait is worthless IMO. It’s not worth losing that slot for the sake of something like a 2.5 second increased stance in better cases.

Bugged tooltip. You don’t notice the effect because it’s worthless, like many Warrior traits. The actual increase is so small you literally don’t notice it at all.
