Guild Wars 2

Let’s say I’m using the Bomb Kit and I’ve got the High Caliber trait equipped (+10% crit chance within 240 range). How does the game calculate the range? Do I have to stand over the bomb when it explodes to get that +10%? Or does the range count from the bomb, in which case I just get a perma +10%, since bombs have a 240 range already?

Lol,
Good question. I’ve only ever thought about the Trait as it pertains to a Rifle, Pistol or Hammer.

Hmmmmm. I would ‘expect’ it be the range from the damage source. This can also be applied to turrets or even the gyro’s. Perhaps a dev will jump in and clarify. If not you can do a bit of damage testing in the mists and submit to the wiki. If there is nothing by the time I’m home, I’ll do a few tests.

Any results so far?

It did make me chuckle…

Glad I could make you laugh. Sorry something came up when I got home. kitten responsible adulthood. I’ll try and get time.

Edit: I’m a kitten and thought it was 10% damage increase. I have no idea how to test a critical increase. Sorry for disappointing.

When the damage is applied, you have to be within 240 range.
