Guild Wars 2

Also the Backbreaker tooltip say 2s knockdown but i find the knockdown is ridiculously short, less than 2s.

I cant really say, im not playing hammer spec. Take into consideration the animations, lag, and possible passive and active traits or skills that reduce stun and knockdown durations.

Thank you.

I’m not sure how many strikes it takes to fill a single bar

It takes 10 strikes to fill 1 bar. Read here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Adrenaline

Im pretty sure it works, tested. 700 hit and 1350 crit on a heavy training unit. After using Earthshaker (stun) or Backbreaker (knockdown), hit 850 and crit 1600. It didnt work on Hammer shock (immobilized) so disabled should mean, whenever someone loses control over their character. It does however, apply only to hammers and not maces.

“Critical hits grant an extra adrenaline strike”

I’m having some hard time understanding what this trait accualy does, neither am i really sure what an adrenaline strike is (im under the impression that strikes that cost adrenalien are called “burst strikes”). Do you get an extra burst strike if the first one crits, or whenever you crit you get 1 burst strike in reserve. Sorry, totaly clueless.

Can someone elaborate? Thanks.
