Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if slaying potions do anything. I tried a weak potion of centaur slaying, +3% damage vs centaurs, +10 experience. per kill Definitely not getting 10 extra experience on my lvl 9 ranger each kill.

Is it working differently than I’m expecting?

Although the tooltip can be interpreted as an additional10xp per kill. However what it should say is +10% of the amount you normally would receive. So as a low level, if you normally get 40xp from a mob, then you would receive 44xp instead.

The impact of these are better when you get more experience points later in the game when you can get up to 700xp per kill (with the potion would give you 770xp total). You can also have 1 food and 1 potion active at the same time.

They do work. 3% won’t be that noticable, wait till you get to around 9% with the higher level ones. Also as Culwenimos said, it’s +10% xp per kill.
