Guild Wars 2

Q: Does Toughness scale the same as Ferocity? If not, should it?

Example:
Crit damage = 150% damage
Ferocity = X
Toughness = – X damage

edit: So if a person were to have 100 ferocity, and the target were to have 100 toughness, it would reduce the damage to the standard 150% damage.

What exactly you mean by scale?
Ferocity and Precision works differently because the stats they affect is a percentage and not a direct number, while toughness is a plain number so no need of such feature.

Toughness is just a plain number…stupid me. Thought it reduced damage % wise. If it did, that would be overpowered right?

Well, to change it then a whole new damage reduction system should be created, it is so different that is like saying that orange is OP compared to grass :P
Toughness currently is added to the armor value and then that armor value is used in the damage formula from the person that is attacking you.

Damage = Weapon strength * Power * Skill coefficient / Armor

Armor = defense + toughness
