Guild Wars 2

Just something to point out – now that we can stomp in DS, Dark Armor provides 400 extra toughness during the stomp channel. So with the Death Magic 5 minor, the toughness from death magic, and Dark Armor, you can reduce incoming damage by 20% if you stomp in DS.

An indirect buff (I think), and I likely still won’t use the trait myself, but I just wanted to point that out.

Edit- I realized after posting that this has always been true, but now that we can use DS to stomp, stomping is a little more common for me.

:O didnt know that the interact chanells count towards that 400 toughness. So stuff like temple buffs should count too right?

Probably, but those channels are interrupted when you take damage, so you only get the reduction on the first hit.

Since when have channels been stopped from taking damage?

Channels on temple of the silent storm will end with damage.

Ohhh misread, thought he was talking about d2, a2, ds4, stomp etc.
