vulnerability time?

[Svann99]

When a target says it is vulnerable, how long do you have to use a skill that takes advantage of it? Also, can you use more than one skill or does the first one remove the vulnerability flag when it applies the extra damage?

Im guessing either no one knows how long vulnerability lasts, or maybe its seen as not worth changing rotation to take advantage?

You can definitely get in one attack before using a second that takes advantage. You might be able to get in two attacks and then strike at the third, but I'm not sure.

However, I can tell you that the first attack will not remove the vulnerability flag. It only disappears after the allotted time (whatever that is, exactly).

I personally like to take advantage of vulnerability, but I also imagine it depends on the player.

Some attacks, especially with mods, will do a lot more damage to a vulnerable target. Those are certainly useful and many people will take that into account. A lot of mobs are vulnerable at the start of the fight, and you toss that attack at them.

Vulnerability lasts 5 seconds. That length was chosen so that even if your reflexes are pretty sluggish, you can probably get in one attack before it ends. If you have good reflexes, you can reliably get two attacks in. (And you can sometimes get three attacks in, but not reliably.)
