Guild Wars 2

since release I have uses ghastly claws and that 4 skill on DS many times. Every time the numbers start low and get higher the more I keep the channeling on. Here’s my question.
I went on the wiki and for ghastly claws it says that it does 800something (x8) dmg. I realised I never read the desc of the skill in game. So those numbers that get bigger as the channeling goes are the damage summation of all the ticks of damage done until that point OR are they the individual tick damage? (the damage that that tick just did )

It’s the sum, always the sum.

well.. that sucks. Thanks for the fast answer!
