hi, so i am planning to go back to gw2 and i have a question about specializations in the upcoming expansion. do i have to use the new weapon when i use specialization? i mean for elementalists, do i have to be wearing a warhorn to be a tempest? or can i use whatever weapon?

I think i’m doing something wrong with the buildcraft, when I replace celestials with cavalier i only get minor boost to effective power. i didn’t try replacing it with berserkers because i don’t know if that’s an appropriate setup for eles like d/d.

This isn’t an expert opinion so you can ignore this, but I’m in the same boat with ThiBash. While you might get lower power, you still benefit from condition damage which you always apply from the enemy. even when they cleanse you can reapply burning or bleeding pretty easily. And about the loss of toughness, we get compensated by having bonuses to vitality and healing power. The entire party benefits from our healing power because of the amount of heals we do and I think it’s a good thing.

Even though the bonus is “small” on the majority’s standards, i think the frequency of applying conditions and heals will make up for that.

hello, i was wondering which is the better trait between these two to get in pvp. the remove condition on water attunement is nice for me and my teammates, while the -20% cantrip cd is also nice for keeping me alive.

can you guys help me with this?

@vaasgoth

that’s what scares me the most. if it ends up a problem between a specific isp (pldt) to a specific service (gw2), would they bother fixing this? i hope so. today i used globe broadband stick as a substitute to play guildwars 2, and i hope it doesn’t become permanent because globe has this frequent lag spike that pldt doesn’t have (at least before this happened).

Oh, man.. i have a bad feeling about this. i tried using globe broadband and it seems they aren’t affected by this. maybe it’s between pldt and anet?

cantrip mastery works with mist form now.

Nope, still doesn’t. The tool-tip says 60s as it did the last major patch, but the recharge is still 75 if you cared to actually test it.

I did care, and I did tested it. I just tried in PvE, it still doesn’t work. But when I got back to the Mists (PvP), it worked (I tested it here first). It’s weird.

I still haven’t tried it on WvW though.

1. for PVE, and maybe for dungeons too
2. i currently have 10/10/0/20/30 but i don’t know if it would be any good for dungeons
3. is condition damage good on dungeons? i want to be useful there. i don’t like healing since many said that it wasn’t a very good stat to invest on.

sorry for being so vague

sorry for replying so late, but i want to have a pretty rounded stat distribution. i know i can do pve with almost any kind of gear. but at the same time i want to be sort of useful when i group up with my friends, so i think 2-3 parts of this and that would be good. but i don’t know what is “this” and “that”.

if the equipment would also fit nicely with staff in terms of gameplay and stat bonuses, it would be awesome.

i’m also poor in terms of karma, i’m sorry.

i was thinking of making myself a set of exotics since i don’t have anything else i think i can do. the thing is, i’m a pretty poor player. i think i only have enough for 1 set of exotics. can you guys help me what should i craft?

i want my set to revolve around using 2 daggers as weapons, with traits for cantrips and auras. but if the set would fit around staff too, it would be great.

thanks guys.

i think it would be nice if summon elementals skill would behave the same way as necromancer’s summons. when you press the summon button, it would be replaced with the pet’s skill. when you press summon bone fiend, it will summon the creature and replace the skill with rigor mortis (bone fiend’s skill). so you can tell your summons when to use a certain skill.

but then that would make necromancers less unique.

condition duration

Posted by: Chok.9037

Chok.9037

oh. so let’s say i have burn for 5 seconds, have +20 condition damage and i’m level 80:

with +0 condition duration:
((4.1 * 80) + (0.25 * 20)) * 5 = 1665 total damage

with +1 condition duration:
((4.1 * 80) + (0.25 * 20)) * 6 = 1998 total damage

thank you for answering instead of flaming/trolling. i appreciate it.

condition duration

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Chok.9037

Chok.9037

i have a noob question. let’s say i applied a bleed that does 100 damage over 5 seconds (20 dps). if i have something that has +condition duration (ex. 1s), would it turn out as 100 damage over 6 seconds (16.67, lower dps) or 120 damage over 6 seconds (still 20dps, extra tick of bleed)?

i’m wondering because if condition duration would only extend the condition’s duration not give extra ticks, it would only help for conditions like cripple and chill, but would lower the dps of burning and bleed. if i would build around bleed and burn, then i might avoid condition duration so i can deal the whole damage in a shorter amount of time.
