Guild Wars 2

Is it just me or are some of the circles smaller than before? I swear water2, water4 and earth2 used to have a radius of 360 with blasting staff. It said that in the tooltip too despite what the wiki says. Anyway, the radius is most definitely NOT 360 now.

Not sure if this one is new but blasting staff also affects the staff water auto* similarly to air 2.

First image is max radius without blasting staff and second image is with.

It’s roughly 0.75 auto attacks per second for anyone that wants crunch the numbers to compare with healing ripple. The increased radius is around 300 which is enough to cover most of the area of some of the smaller circles in spvp.

Hopefully this can help some aspiring staff converts in light of recent nerfs, or anyone that already runs staff.

*disclaimer
Not trying to promote any bunker support builds that can aoe heal for ~750 hp per second. Please use at your own discretion lest the almighty nerf bat strikes again.

Well, I did file a bug report a while back listing all the staff skills that werent affected…maybe this is that fix?
