Guild Wars 2

I found this other thread:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/siege-weapon-damage-consumables/

But I thought I’d better make an own thread with a differend title. I wanted to discuss the tooltips(and if they correctly display the damage). I just tested and it seems at least my power, condition damage and condition duration affect the tooltip. Tested this with a cannon. (I only wanted to check the how mastery affects it but then while switching between chars I noticed other differences and unequipped all my stuff and reset traits to notice that these affect the tooltip).

So I wanted to ask if anybody actually tested this against enemies and noticed any differences? (Need to know if only tooltip is affected or if it really also affects the gameplay).

Also: What is with that difference in numbers for direct damage? I think in the past there used to be huge values. Wiki also still has them. Like 13k for Superior Arrow Cart. At the moment there are much smaller values… but then again they seem different. I tested with a cannon against some NPC mob. Tooltip was at about the same as one of my direct damage inflicting weapon skills but damage was 4 or 5 times higher with the cannon. (The old damage tooltip value from wiki seemed to be 8 or 9 times higher than the new tooltip). A bit strange. I know this is calculated by some average armor(I think) but that does not explain these differences.

Been like that for as long as I can remember. I don’t know exact damage % though.
