Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I don’t know if this has been asked but i couldn’t find this anyways so here goes :
Since Axe Training has been switched to master I’ve decided to try it out instead of minion damage increase ( I’m MM with axe/dagger dagger/warhorn full power ). When i equip it in my traits, i can see that the CD of ghastly claws for example goes from 8s to 6 1/2s but i don’t see the damage increase at all when i hover over the skill. I’m truly wondering, especially that it doesn’t specify how much is that increase in damage.
So two questions : Is it normal that it doesn’t show a difference ? And if it is, how much is actually the damage increase and is it worth it ?

Test it in the mists and on any yellow enemy.Do the skill with the trait on, use the skill 5-6 times (gives you an average) then find the same enemy at the same level, and use the skill 5-6 times on them without it.

Just equip a steady weapon in the mists and see if the numbers change.

ok so ghastly claws go up to 3k 3.2k without the trait and more like 3.6 to 3.8k with the trait. So I guess that makes it a 15% increase ( + the 25% decrease in cooldown so overall a good amount of damage increase ). I decided to give up 10 points in Toughness and sacrifice death nova for both minion damage and axe training.
I THINK it will pay off overall. The 5% toughness given to power is compensated by the 100 power in traits anyways so that doesn’t change much…
Thank you for the advice, didn’t think of going to the mist !
