Guild Wars 2

Hi,

Maybe it’s not a such hard Q, but I must ask it.

Is protection and toughness working in DS? People said months ago that only vitality work to enhance DS, and toughness not. If toughness in DS is still not working I should run berserker even in WvWvW lol

Saschare.2049:

Well. Maybe I will shorten my Q:
Does toughness and protection lower the damage taken in DS?

For example:
Damage taken normally:
1000 / 666 with protection

Damage taken in DS:
1000 / 1000 with protection or 666?

The bold one is what I ask for (also I mean the same for toughness)

Yes, still works like normal.

What those people meant by Vitality working to enhance Death Shroud is that your max death shroud is a percentage of your max HP (yes, death shroud is the only class mechanic that scales directly with two trait lines). Toughness and Protection still apply, but they function no differently than outside death shroud, so you can’t really say DS “scales” or “is enhanced” on them.

Well. Maybe I will shorten my Q:
Does toughness and protection lower the damage taken in DS?

For example:
Damage taken normally:
1000 / 666 with protection

Damage taken in DS:
1000 / 1000 with protection or 666?
