Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed since the April Feature Pack that the flamethrower’s number one skill “Flame Jet” that the damage count is significantly different. Before the update the counter would continue to count upwards until the end of the attack. Then when a new attack starts it would start from zero again. However since the April Feature Pack I’ve noticed if you continuously use Flame Jet such as having it set for auto attack the damage will continue to count upward until something breaks the attack. I’ve seen it get upward toward 20k of damage on the counter.

Anyone know if this is an intended change or a rather interesting and cool bug?

for a second i thought you meant the auto attack never ends and it’s just a continuous stream of fire. my hopes were shattered.

This new damage counter style makes it seem so, it’s like a chained attack damage counter, but I’ve only seen it on flame jet.

Cool but confusing. I would prefer to know exactly how much damage I’m doing with every jet.

Mesmer GS auto does the same now

Have a look in your combatlog, there is the you can se your damage for each hit with the ft.

I am so kitten about this change that I want to cry…

I saw 80k dmg dealt to Mossman in Swamp fractal lol

I think however the actual dmg is same and only the text of number goes up

I noticed the same thing when I got onto my engi today. At first I was “Holy Kitten!” 20K damage! Is this a bug? Feature? Did someone bless us with uber damage now? If so, I want to go roast some guardians’ chestnuts now.

Check your combat log
…. and NO! even with the super buffed strength runes, Juggernaut, HGH and all the might stacking you want and a full glass build are you going to see that sort of damage on a regular basis.

Ehehehe……….

can anyone recommend a decent flamethrower build for a level 57 toon?
My build isn’t nearly as effective post update, and all of the builds that I’ve found are for level 80, and don’t really show how you should build before 80.

I use to know how to build before 80 but then the patch came and now I do not know when you get a trait point.
