Not sure if this is the right place for this, but since it deals with a ranger spike GvG group, I figure I'd put it here.

I read in a post here that the effects of Judge's Insight and Weaken Armor don't stack when spiking a target.

Can anyone confirm or refute this? I don't see why they would, but you never know with the Anet does some things...

Thanks in advance.

Read their descriptions.

And what Vindexus means is, weaken armor reduces their rating by 20 vs -physical damage- while Judges Insight gives you 20% armor penetration and makes you do -holy damage-

Holy != Physical, and visa-versa.

this may be off topic, but a weaken armor is a huge spike giveaway if u place it on someone...

Ranger Spike with judges insight? O_o

As for spike giveaways, its all in the timing imo. For example, rigor mortis has been a staple of ranger spike for along time. yes, if you put it on 2 secs before the spike then that target will get guardian and will probably kite to safety, but if you put it on just as the spike lands then there's not much you are going to do about it.

So you have a fast cast orders guy who puts up orders at @3 in the count (he should have a 20% enchant mod on his staff to give a 6 sec OOP), and them immediately casts rigor (or weaken armour if you prefer that for some reason). if the rangers spike on 1, with a 2 second activation of dual shot, the hex should land just as the first arrows fly from the bow.

I know it was just an example, but umm, doesn't Rigor Mortis bypass the effects of Guardian?

Yes, but Patro's point is valid nonetheless.

Well, if someone has enough time to cast Guardian, you'd think someone else would have enough time to use a hex removal that casts in the same time as guardian...

Weaken Armor does not stack with Judges because they have -20 armor against physical and Judges makes you deal Holy damage so they do not stack.
