Guild Wars 2 Ultimate Beginner's Guide Episode 3: Boons and Conditions!

[@MightyTeapot]

There is a mistake! At 20:28 -> Torment converts to 3 stacks of might NOT fury!

[@MaxSeidel1]

Also at the side panel of the bleeding and burning part the symbols of Vigor and Aegis seem to be swapped. Otherwise great video!

[@beneteus3833]

Will you redo the video since anet changed retaliation, resistance and resilience? Oh yeah and torment

I'm going to refer to this video so many times. Keep up the great work!

[@next_lvl_]

Ah, the youtube Teapot voice

[@TheMangovnik]

What happens when I would get fear and taunt at the same time? Will I just stand in place and thinking about the decisions that led me into that situation?

[@TheForceOfBluescreen]

Taunt does not do what it does in other games, it just forces your opponent to attack you - doesn't work if he is allrdy attacking you tho, it doesn't even cancel channeled attacks. Only if enemys are rezzing or not currently attacking you'll force them to attack.

[@MightyTeapot]

That's actually a great question lol

[@kursna]

Fear has priority over taunt but if you're still taunted after the fear then you will start attacking/walking towards the target if you're melee. Happened to me last night in wvw

[@TheMangovnik]

@@kursna What if you get fear first and then taunt? Does the fear have still priority or is it just in what order they were applied?

[@kursna]

@@TheMangovnik yes fear still has priority. Think of it like layers that each condi is on and fear is on a higher layer regardless of when it was applied

Absolutely wonderful video Tea. I've played on and off since 2012, and I didn't even know what half of these did. I feel far better equipped now and the format, narration and humor was spot on and made 36 minutes feel like 5 =) Fantastic stuff =)

[@bacongl]

Now if Anet added this tutorial to the game, people would be alot better players right off the bat.

Hallelujah! I've asked other KZbinrs to give this lesson and was told it was unnecessary. Mighty Teapot, you just moved to the top of my heap in GW2 KZbinrs to be admired!

[@cherrybomb_ZA]

Yes! Great overview and loads of help. Ty

[@Theodisc]

"... causing a once-indomitable player to run away screaming 😱." Touché, and well-said. I had a good laff when you said that bit. 👍 Tbh I've played the game since launch but never bothered learning these things like boons and conditions and how they actually work which you show us here. I think my playing skills can improve and I can enjoy the game more effectively watching and learning from your tutes. Thank you. I think I'll go and buy the Cantha xp pack next week now. You have invigorated me. 💙

I just started gw2, yes a bit late, but amazing game where people actually play together. I'm having a blast, thx for these guides, hate being clueless

As always top-notch production.

[@xNARCx]

Yessss! Thank you.

[@jeremybroadbent8997]

I would say I’m a veteran player, played 500+ games of pvp and I still had so much I didn’t know. Found this incredibly helpful. Thank you so much! Content creators this good for GW2 are far and few between, so props to you for being one of the very best ❤️

[@danijels7737]

I wouldn't really say 500 games make you a veteran player.. game is old, lots of ppl have 500+ games per class

[@jeremybroadbent8997]

@@danijels7737 oh my bad, I thought that an 80% win rate on 500 games was prolly better than ur 47% on 2000 games

I say veteran because I know all the classes and their meta builds and how to play against them.

[@mikybrother86]

Once again, proper a good explaination video. ! Thank you man! (Also, as a non-english speaking person, you're SOOOO understandable and clear!)

Really good guide and i hope more players actually watch this.

I was held in an underground bondage dungeon until i agreed to like this video. Do not accept candy from Mela he will corrupt. Great vid Tcup

wow that's a good guide!

It's quite sad that I never knew slow had such a pleasing visual effect on it, thanks to all the spam in the game.

I guess next will be Combo Fields, Combo Finishers and Auras

[@amisfitpuivk]

This should be linked on the Steam store page, or perhaps in-game in the Help/Wiki tab that definitely exists

[@MorphTW]

another well produced video guide. even though i know all this i had to watch the video just because it is so well done.

[@MrGeek76]

Good video as always, keep going man ! :)

[@dylanwarwick4429]

Really a solid guide. 12k hours and I didn't know they changed regen to prioritise the most potent application first. Now this needs to be a mandatory watch for all players starting the game (and most current players) and maybe, just maybe, we'll see players srting themselves in subgroups in open world squads... (At least I can dream for that). @MightyTeapot Maybe somewhere in this series you can mention how boons are priority applied in squads and parties?

[@MightyTeapot]

That's actually a good call yeah, I think that will come in the 'Party and Squad' guide! But good reminder I kinda forgot about that lol. Glad you enjoyed!

[@mentalbreak]

BRO I GET HIT BY WEAKNESS ALL THE TIME. i had no idea what that glancing blow shit meant! ty. thats some bullshit man.

[@Aokimarcel]

had no idea about the impact of the booms and conditions, awesome guide, will look forward for the next ones!

[@TheForceOfBluescreen]

Mate just look at your stats, press H and check your current Power - then check your Power again with 25Might. Should be obvious that you'll deal allmost 50% more damage with 750Power more...

[@Aokimarcel]

@@TheForceOfBluescreen well, not talking specifically about might impact to dps. Started playing not long ago, and my class doesn't have all the boons/conditions available in the game, and never went around looking on outside sources on what the other buffs/debuffs did in this game. Nice to see it all explained in one place.

[@Anodic]

19:50 the aegis and vigor icons are swapped

god damn it

[@basvriese1934]

what happens when you have both chill and crippled, do they stack somehow or is it just the highest?

Advice to new players. Just spam all the skills and dodge rolls and you'll be fine.

Could you please tell me how to get these boons and conditions ?

Skyrim music hits different

[@TebTengri]

I like the basic concept of GW2 but I much prefer trinity games where there is a tank, healer and DPS. More defined roles, less homogeneity

[@TripxxSlay3rr]

such a good video

[@miroto9446]

But torment is getting converted to might, not fury. (Checked that in game) And cripple stack only 5 times. (by wiki)

[@knm871]

Could you please tell me how to get these boons and conditions ?

[@xezzee]

I tried my best to google: Do you keep or lose all boons when you go to downstate? probably yes? Skimmed even trough this video after watching it and I never got answer. No where in Wiki boons or wiki downstate could I find this information. Am I really so blind that I can't find this information OR is this something no one ever talks about? Topic where I got this question: Tempest giving 25migh can't heal so someone might go downstate ... Does the person now lose all 25 might you just gave to them or not?

[@MaulScarreign]

so what is the different between 5 stacks of might with the same duration and 10 stacks of might with the same duration? if there % increase per stack?

[@1996technique]

Each stack of might gives you 30 power and 30 condi damage. So 10 stacks gives 300 power and condi dmg while 5 stacks gives just 150

[@Eniclac]

When is Episode 4 coming? :D

[@rareraspberry]

When a skill heals and removes conditions, which occurs first?

[@MightyTeapot]

Usually condition removal first, the exception will be if a skill triggers another skill from a trait, in which case the order can be different

[@rareraspberry]

did your voice get deeper?

Now I'm confused..... At 20:40 you say that torment does more damage if the target moves. But in game and in wiki, it is stated that torment does more damage if the foe isn't moving..... Which is true????? AAAAAAH!!!!!!

@@MightyTeapot I expect them to tweak stuff, but they changed it to be the OPPOSITE? That's a bold move, lol.

[@Selphidal]

00:57 This is not how duration stacking works. In reality the 8s swiftness would always queue before the 2s swiftness, even if it is applied later. I know that this is probably not that interesting for the simple notion that "boons stack duration in a queue system" but if you take the time to make a fancy graphic, please make sure that it actually holds up to a reality check.

Doesn't really change anything he said in the video, but it's a nice fact I guess, no need to be angry! :p
