Guild Wars 2

The thing is, poison can actually be a very strong condition. Since sword has lower dps compared with dagger and staff, and the evasive playstyle of s/d sometimes tends to drag the fight into a relatively long marathon, the heal reduction effect of poison is very useful.

Also, with the torment on interrupt and condition on dodge trait s/d can actually have enough access to other conditions. Note that thief has quite a lot of utilities that apply interrupt and conditions too.

I just don’t understand why only Dagger has a chance to apply poison, while dagger AA already applies poison. Why not change the trait to Blade training and give sword attack access to poison? That should open up some interesting build

Been afk for a year and see some interesting new runes, but can’t find them in PVP. Did they mention anything like they would change the situation in the new system?

are they going to allow the PVE runes in the PVP mode? I really want to try out the trapper rune
