Guild Wars 2

The warhorn skill “Cyclone” only affects an opposing player once when the skill fact lists it as having 9 impacts.
Guild mates and I tested in our PvP server. We tested to see if the skill would strip more than one stack of stab off an opposing elementalist’s Armor of Earth (10stab). Only 1 stack of stab was ever removed, even when following the cyclone animation.
We also tested if the skill could “pull” a single foe multiple times. The opposing player took a direct hit of Cyclone, taking the effect of pull, then stunbroke. The opposing player then ran into the cyclone after stunbreaking but never was affected after the initial pull.
I expect Cyclone should work similarly to Revenant’s “Surge of the Mists” where a single target potentially may be hit by most of the impacts of that skill.

If any others could run tests of their own and comment or vouch, it’d be greatly appreciated.

Cyclone will see more use in Raid if they fix this. At the moment, the interrupt job is monopolized by Rev.

It’s based on hitbox and can hit up to 3 times.
For example on Gorseval you’ll hit twice resulting in 300 dmg to breakbar instead of 150.
