Guild Wars 2

So I was looking at elite skills and just testing them on the dummies when I noticed though it says the damage changes on the skill entangle with your condition damage, it in fact is always 42 or 43. This makes an already pretty bad elite skill worse since it doesn’t even fit into a condition damage build as well now. Here are my pics in the mists first with my amulet on, 1469 CD, and second with it off, 546. The entangle abitity with the amulet on says it deals 18,552 and with it off says it deals 11,168.

When my Ranger first unlocked this skill she tried using it. But because it was not very good – definitely not any better than those I have grown more accustomed to using, I stopped trying it. Seems a wasted skill at this point.

It probably is a bug that the damage is not updating.

To lynspottery.6529 – when I first tried this skill out I didn’t think much of it either. However after a few more tests out in the field this is now my number 1 PVE elite. It tangles up multiple enemies at once, it also slowly helps to damage them and on top of all that it has a pretty quick recharge rate. It’s also semi effective on vet’s for a few cheap shots. So while this skill is not the greatest in PvP it certainly is in PVE.

Yeah I really dig this skill for soloing, especially for many mobs around. The CC is why it’s so useful, not the mediocre damage. Each “vine” has to be individually destroyed to get free of the rather long immobilization. I try to get em in a line or bunched up pretty tight, drop it, roll out, and using the piercing arrows trait to impale em all. And with any aoe buddy along they will suck the life out of mobs with this in effect.

It’s the only trappish elite skill for a condition ranger, otherwise without traiting into spirits you have to use rampage as one. If the condition damage changed like it says on the ability I wouldn’t mind that it doesn’t last that long since the bleeds are 20 sec bleeds. I know it’s pretty good in pve against multiple targets but I mainly pvp and without the bleeds it’s, imo, not as good as muddy terrain and certainly not as good as rampage as one.
