Adrenaline Questions - Guild Wars Forums

I know this is kind of a newbie question, but how does adrenaline work? It doesn't have an amount bar like health and energy, so how do you know how much you have?

on the skills themselves, they start greyed out when you have no adrenaline. they slowly light up depending on the number of adrenaline strikes they need to become fully charged and usable.

So your adrenaline grows every time you strike?

yup. but when you use a fully charged skill, that skill goes dry again and you'll need to start striking again to recharge it.

there are a few skills that use all adrenaline from all skills, so be wary of that as well.

Ok, you have a skill that needs 5 adr, one needs 6, one needs 7 and loses all adrenaline.

When you start, all are greyed out. As you hit, each one becomes brighter. Eventually the 5 adr one is fully charged. When you use hit, you lose 1 stickof adrenaline from the other two. So they are both at 4 out of 6/7, respectively.

If your 5 adr skill hits, you get that stick back. Whatever happens with it, you lose the adrenaline stored in it as its been used. Normally adrenaline skills will take away one stick from your other adr skills, but "lose all adrenaline" skills do just that, drain every single adrenaline skill.

Also remember you get adrenaline when you take damage. So if your in the thick of things getting hit a lot, you will get adrenaline from those hits your taking as well as from the hits your making.

also note there are skills/spells that also enhance adrenaline pumping - ie they increase the rate in which you will gain adrenaline. There are also skills/spells that will prevent you from gaining any adrenaline at all (and boy these are a pain when they get cast on you and the majority of your attack/defense skills happen to be adrenaline based! pfft!)
