HGH + Thown Elixer = 1 Stack Only
I’ve noticed this as well. I can’t tell if you actually get the might stack or not, but the counter seems to have an issue counting sometimes. It is pretty frustrating.
“HGH: Drinking an elixir now grants two stacks of might instead of one.”
It says “drinking”, tossing it will apply only 1 just like before this patch
Because giving what, 4 stacks of aoe might (cause you won’t be using thrown R for buffing) on a (by anet’s words) support class, is too damn op. Seems legit.
I understand that it says drinking, but why am I getting 1 stack at all then? According to the tooltip I should get none …
Anyway, just pointing it out, its not clear if it should be two, but nothing says it should give one (except the pervious version of the trait)
The intent is that drinking gives two, while throwing gives 1.
The new change is small, but people have been getting to consistent 20-25 stacks of might when optimizing themselves for Might duration. This is a big, and awesome thing for us, giving a good offensive boost.
Subtle change, big difference. I like it a lot. Thanks ANet!
