Great Allie! Any chance we can get these clarification questions answered about the announced mesmer grandmaster traits?

• Disruptor’s Sustainment – Gain 1,000 healing power for 5s upon interrupting a foe.
  Does this stack in intensity or duration (or at all)?

• Maim the Disillusioned – Enemies hit by shatter skills are inflicted with torment.
  Is torment applied per illusion hit or per landed shattered skill? How much torment is applied?

Thanks in advance

Asked, and answered:

1: Does not stack in intensity or duration.
2: This trait applies 4 seconds of torment each time a clone shatter hits your target. 3 clones shattered = 3 torment applied, similar to how Rending Shatter functions.

Hey Allie! If it was possible, I would wish to get some clarification for the new elementalist’s traits too.

• Blinding Ashes – Is the ICD global, or per target?
• Elemental Contigency – Is the ICD global, or per attunement?
• Lightning Rod – 1) Is there any ICD? 2) What is lightning bolt’s damage value?

Thank you for your attention.

EDIT: Seems like I wasn’t the only one to have the same idea. x)

Thanks for the questions. Here are some answers:

• Blinding Ashes ICD (Internal Cooldown) is ‘global’, where it activates once and goes on recharge. The trait works much better in small engagements.
• Elemental Contingency’s Internal Cooldown is currently once every 10 seconds.
• Lightning Rod has no ICD. It will activate as often as a target allows you to interrupt them. The damage value of this trait is similar to that of Halting Strike.
  Weakness duration is 4 seconds base.

Edit: Fixed a hilarious blunder.

Lingering Elements will continue to only affect adept minor traits from the elemental trait lines.
