Q:
Strength in Numbers
I was wondering the same thing, hopefully somebody sheds some light on this as the stat numbers don’t change. In general I thought anything that effected nearby allies also effected the caster, is this an accurate statement?
I don’t think so for this trait. It seems to only affect allies and not you. If you target someone near you, you’l see a blue icon that when you hover over it, will tell you that they’re benefiting from the effect. I’d like to know that if you have a full 5-man team of guardians using this trait in WvW, will that mean all nearby allies get a 150 point boost to toughness?

No! There is no status icon and hence no hint that it is working at all.
It does work. Only on your allies though, as stated. I told a Warrior to
check his toughness rating. After he checked, I asked him to check it again, now
that I had enabled this trait. He was like “wtf? xD” hahaha. Was funny.
