Guild Wars 2

Many of the tool tips for the skill sets are incredibly vague. I’m like to assume that you want your players to make informed choices rather than force us to test it to see how long it goes.

Cooldowns – So many signets, runes and traits have an effect that procs on something or is tied to an utitily skill (warrior has a million of em) what is the cooldown on them and does it affect the utility skills cooldown at all or vice versa?

Just a couple from Mesmer for example:
Temporal Enchanter – Glamour skills last longer. (1 second? 25%? 1 Year?)
Compounding Power and Wastrel’s Punishment – Please describe the difference between “active” and “inactive”. Does active mean they are physically moving? Or only active when they are using skills? Same thing with Inactive. What is technically inactive?

Anyways, lots of that. I understand you have a wiki, I find it funny I have to go to not the game to learn how to play the game or figure out stuff, half the time the info from Wiki is wrong or incomplete.

Also a fun little idea. Guardian and Ele have signets that remove a condition every 10 seconds. Add a little timer so we know when its coming up. I don’t enjoy overlapping a shout when the signet is about to proc. Also to add to that. If its every 10 seconds does that mean when 10 seconds comes up and there is no condition, it just starts over? or it waits until you get a condition, uses it, then starts 10 seconds all over again?

Anyways, hope you guys get around to reading this. Tool tips are a big part of game play, once players get past looking at pretty vistas and facerolling the keyboard, they’ll want to know how to play effectively. And please just don’t post a link on this forum page to the wiki… quoting wiki doesn’t work in school or work and I can’t fully trust it in this game either… which leads me to ask. Is there some sort of manual or encyclopedia etc in this game?

Wanted to also ask, how is health and armor determined on illusions and phantasms? do they scale with your vit and tough or are they completely independent?
