Guild Wars 2

I am curious, does the cooldown of 2s per attacker work internally or is the cooldown applied to the attacker?

What I mean is lets say you use aura share and a guardian spins and hits 2 players with shocking aura. Would that strip 2 stacks of stability?

I would have to test to be sure – but I want to say yes. As far as I know, the stun is based on who did it.

Now the other side of this is that stability stacks only strip once every 0.75 sec. So if he did a whirl and hit 2 people with shocking aura, it would only strip one stack because of that, not because of shocking aura itself. If he had no stability, I would assume they would get 2 seconds of stun for hitting 2 people with shocking aura up since it gives 1sec of stun.

Internal cooldown of shocking aura should apply on a “per person” basis, not per skill in general as far as I know.

Stun doesn’t stack, so it’ll just be two 1s stuns. One applies, then the other overwrites it instantly. If you don’t stun with Shocking Aura, the icd won’t be applied, so if the guardian in this example spins around with 5 stacks of stab on 2 people with Shocking Aura, he’ll lose a stack every .75 seconds if the aura is still going on until he gets stunned.
