Guild Wars 2

Yeah it would be interesting just to see what they came up with to see a trait for the focus. Blasting staff has its uses , vigorous scepter sometimes gets used (although the vigor on crit is basically better if you crit at all), and the dagger one could be useful for people that lack swiftness… its at least nice to have those options.

Started playing around with the focus for the first time in PvP and noticed there wasn’t a trait in the Arcane line (or any line!) that specifically benefits focus users. Yes, it took me this long to realize this! Anyway, every other weapon set (scepter, dagger, and staff) all have traits to benefit them. I do realize that those are all the main hand weapons but the dagger trait does give a bonus for having a dagger in the off-hand. Just curious if anyone knew the reason for this.

Wasn’t sure how to attach two files on one post so here is the other file that could be helpful.

Having the same problems and doing the ipconfig commands and repairing hasn’t helped at all.

I have never had problems with disconnects until today (Error Code 7:11). I can’t get through even a few minutes without losing connection to the servers. My internet appears to be running as normal as it has ever been. I already used the -repair command to check the guild wars 2 files and I have cleared my dns cache but have had no success solving the issue. Anyone else have any problems or any ideas to help solve this?

Thanks for the response and info.

You both are correct. Mesmers are the best confusion class, and these runes benefit us greatly. However, there should be an ICD placed on the rune so that interrupt heavy classes can’t gain access to obscene amounts of confusion. I understand that it is not particularly easy to get four or five sequential interrupts on a class, but giving a previously non condition class access to 15-25 stacks of a confusion seems overpowered compared to other runesets.

I can’t think of one rune (feel free to correct me) that has some sort of on hit/on interupt/on block ect. effect that does not have an ICD… so I believe that this rune should be no exception. Though I hope the ICD is not as ridiculously high as the 20 second cooldown for the torment runes #6.

On a different note, I have been using these runes on my mesmer the past two days and have noticed the +30% confusion duration is not working. Has anyone else had the same issue?

Tested out the runes again, the +30% confusion duration is still not increasing any of my confusion inducing skills condition duration (I’m a mesmer so there are plenty). Also, I performed the tests with various trait allocations, including no traits at all, to rule out some kind of bug with my specific build. If anyone else is encountering this problem, or isn’t, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Nice build, however when I was trying it out I noticed that my confusion procs weren’t as long as my confusion duration was supposed to make it. Is the 30% confusion duration working for you guys?

I believe that the cap for conditions is 100% and I am far beneath that at 50% (with these runes). I do think that the added confusion duration on these runes did work when they were first introduced. Though they may have been affected when the #4 skill was fixed… Has anyone else noticed the duration increase working or not?

Has anyone else noticed the 30% confusion duration not being added recently? I bought these runes yesterday and it appears that the #4 bonus and all my other sources of confusion are only affected by my condition duration, not the extra 30% confusion duration.

I bought the runes today and noticed that they did not increase my confusion duration as well. I have 20% condition duration and these runes so my confusion duration should be increased by 50%. For Example, the Confusion inflicted by Cry of Frustration on the skill bar and in battle was only 3.5 seconds. However, with the runes equipped (and my extra 20%) the duration of the confusion inflicted should be 4.5 seconds. This is the same with Confusing Images, it went from 5—>6 seconds instead of 5—> 7.5 seconds.

Has anyone noticed the duration increase on these runes not working? It adds my base condition duration to confusion but the 30% from the rune is not being added.

Yaks Bend lost by the time I got there, thanks anyway though.

Any NA servers have it open?
