Guild Wars 2

I have been trying to test this and so far it doesn’t look like I am gaining any lifeforce by activating Spectral Armor and then going into DS when getting focused or taking lots of hits. Can a dev confirm/deny this functionality please.

So far it looks like I can’t gain Life Force in Death Shroud.

It seems to stagnate when being hit

You keep the spectral buff, you don’t benefit from it, just like regeneration.

It might be hard to tell. While in DS, attacks drain your life force instead of your HP. So, if spectral armor’s effect is active, you’ll be losing life force per hit unless each hit they do is less than 3% of your life force bar.

Not factoring degen.

You are correct it does work, it just really needs to do more IMO.

I tested against a guardian with full clerics in sPvP and his staff auto attacks did slightly more damage than the 3% LF generation with Spectral Armor or Spectral Walk.
