Guild Wars 2

Hi guardians,

i recently got my guardian to 80 and i never really payed attention to the Whirling Wrath skill. I checked the description and it says “Damage (9x): 2,200”, i assume that it should do nearly 20k damage when i use it. I find it very useful on multiple targets as it seems to have a 360 degrees effect, but single target it does about 5 hits 800-1700 damage (i assume it’s lowered because of the enemy armor value).

Am i doing something wrong? And if someone would kindly explain to me how does this skill work and how could i maximize it’s damage output (is there any trick to it)?

2,200 is the total damage for all 9 hits.

You can still maximize the damage by landing a few extra projectiles that it throws out. This is done by turning off combat assist so you can whirl directly on top of enemies instead of to the side.

For reference, damage formula is STUFF * (your power)/(enemy armor). Damage values in tooltips use an estimated armor value for targets near your level.

Thank you very much! turning off the melee assist fixed my problem
