Guild Wars 2

This is crap, the achievements have been bugged for days.

Can we get an extension at least?

I like disease, goes with the necro theme better than acid. Instead of spreading to others (we have epidemic for that) I suggest the following.

It could be a progressive dot, starts small and gets more damage the longer it persists, and randomly spawns other 1 sec conditions (symptoms).

This is by far my favorite idea in the entire thread.

To elaborate, it should stack in duration, scale with condition damage, cause other conditions, and necromancers should have a trait that reduces the amount of time for conditions to spawn.

I don’t even play a full-on conditionmancer and I would find this very useful.

Yeah I’m noticing this in several lvl 80 events and dungeons with highly organized groups.

Since I have a tanky life force build I not only enjoy it but I often get praises of “HOLY kitten NECRO TANK!!1”. =)

Ilithis Mithilander.3265:

Lets say strength is on your main-hand and frailty is on your off-hand. When you critically hit, the system checks to see if your RNG is good on your main-hand (30% of the time it is). In this case the strength will proc. Then, both sigils go on CD, therefore frailty will not be checked or triggered. If strength does not proc, it checks your off-hand, if it procs, both go on CD. If neither strength or frailty proc, then the next time you crit, the same process repeats. While sigils are on their invisible CD, they will not be checked for proccing.

I believe the math comes out to be 51% that one or the other will proc when they are not on CD.

I see. So there are two rounds of selection. Basically .3 * .7 + .7 * .3 + .3 * .3.

Thanks. I’m going to test this.

So I read the wiki and it seems that not only do sigil effects share cooldowns, but on-critical-hit sigils activate no matter what skill or item you’re using.

That said, how are probabilities processed when you have a Superior Sigil of Strength and a Superior Sigil of Frailty equipped simultaneously on mainhand and offhand weapons?

We know that you can never see the boon and condition appear within 1-3 seconds of each other, but if nothing is on cooldown, what is the probability that one OR the other will activate on a single critical hit? 60%?

Excellent info, thanks.

Is this bonus still broken?

Does the 5% damage bonus apply to conditions?

Unyielding Blast does not apply vulnerability underwater.

Please confirm.

1) I’d like to be able to remap the behavior of the Esc key with the same idea as other skill bindings. For example, I bind this behavior to the F button. Under chat, it types F, out of chat, it “escapes”. This is a nice function to have to allow you to put skill interruption and untargeting in the place most convenient for you.

2) There seems to be some button simultaneity “problem”. The game doesn’t accept more than 4 key presses at one time. So if you move forward, strafe left, hold right-click and push a skill binding like shift-R all at the same time, the R won’t register (but the shift will). I’ll end up releasing one key (like strafe left) in order to register another (like R). It would be awesome to increase the cap on simultaneous buttons.
