Talk:Anguished Tear of Alba

Stacking

It says, "Does not stack with other sources of agony resistance." What exactly does "other sources" include? Equipment? Mistlock Singularities? Itself? If the answer is "everything", then it's a pretty useless item, even for new fractal players. » Keneth O'Connor, 12:37, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

It's everything. Anguished Tear of Alba (effect) prevents this item from being consumed while active. If character is inside fractals and AR is under 10, then it bumps it to 10; otherwise, no effect. It also seems to grant Fractal Defensive (1 h). --BryghtShadow (talk) 15:01, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Deliberate duplication

A screenshot of the tooltip layout to show the duplicate information.

In regards to this edit, the duplication is deliberate. https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items/70596

1. Double-click to consume. is most likely not part of the API but rather part of the game's "tooltip engine", which likely detects the item type and formats accordingly. So I've removed that sentence to allow future layout changes to the infobox.
2. Nourishment appears before description in consumable tooltip, although many consumables that grant effects don't have a description. To try to reflect this structure, I previously threw everything into {{{description}}} — But this pollutes the property, so I've moved the extra stuff into variables. --BryghtShadow (talk) 14:19, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Does it even work?

So is the April 8 edit saying that this potion doesn't even work anyway? That the 10 agony resistance you get does nothing? How has this not been noticed before now? Hekela (talk) 00:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

hasn't been noticed until now because either A) people assumed the bug report was due to people mis-understanding it's functionality and 2) hardly no one uses it since 10AR is laughable.-Darqam (talk) 00:45, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Can anyone confirm that it isn't working? Hekela (talk) 06:32, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

A youtube video on reddit where this was reported shows that it doesn't work; and a dev had confirmed it at the time. -Darqam (talk) 18:34, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Perfect, thanks. Hekela (talk) 23:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Additional 5 agony resist

Does anyone know which mastery grants the additional 5 agony resistance? It would be a nice addition to this article. Intricity (talk) 19:40, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

But who is Alba?

And why is Alba crying anguished tears? --Ezhar (talk) 23:54, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
