Been trying to come up with some new builds for vaious characters (for PvE, so heroes would be used too). In the process of this, I realized I don't know something I need info on for some of the builds.

Is there a cap for adrenaline gain boosts?

For example, the following skills all increase the adrenaline a character gains. Do the reach a max, or would combining multiples of them further boost the adrenaline gain?

["for great justice!"][balthazar's spirit][weapon of fury][natural temper][focused anger][infuriating heat][battle rage][berserker stance]

In other words, if a Ranger places Infuriating Heat, and a Ritualist cast Weapon of Fury on a Paragon using For Great Justice, Focused Anger, and Natural Temper, how much adrenaline gain would the Paragon receive? And is the gain from Balthazars Spirit worthwhile for a build using high adrenaline cost skills or is it a wasted slot?

Lastly, a question based on info I read on wiki. Infuriating Heat states that it does not work with skills like Signet of Aggression. Does it work with skills like For Great Justice though? So a Warrior using For Great Justice while in range of Infuriating Heat would be able to use Cleave after 1 hit, and Eviscerate in 2 hits? A 400% boost to adrenaline gain?

I believe the way it works is that you cannot stack them to above 100%, but a single skill can bring it past 100%, like focused anger can do 100%+, but if you use FGJ, you are just wasting energy if focused anger is already up. adding infuriating heat into that mix would also double it I believe because it is not a percent increase (I think...might be wrong tho)

Adrenaline gain is capped at 100%.

Supervillain · May 16, 2008, 09:05 PM // 21:05

Adrenaline gain cannot stack to exceed +100%.

The ones you have listed can be found at:
http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gain...uick_reference

If you scroll down you will see that all of the ones listed give over 100% anyway (so most of them dont stack).

Don't forget [Dark Fury] and [Mark of Fury].

Dark Fury while under [FGJ] is 4 hits of adrenaline in one swing. Backbreaker spam gogo.

Indeed Kyomi, hilarious to use that in Ra and see a backbreaker sin abuse it :P

Balthazar's Spirit gives 1..5 points (0..15 smiting) of adrenaline. An adrenaline strike is 25 points.

But since it doesn't give a percentile boost, it can be used like Dark Fury and Mark of Dury... only the effect is much much worse.

I was having fun the other day with a W/N with Mark of Fury and FGJ with Backbreaker as the Elite.... 20 seconds of KD. <3<3

Not the most effective build ever but it was funfun.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Thanks all. I was aware of the Necro skills and similar, but wasn't sure about the stacking of the percentages. Now that I know how they work, I can make my builds better. I can start with more educated decisions
