Guild Wars 2

Does the weakness effect of “50% of hits are Glancing Blows (50% damage).” work on bosses such as the Vale Guardian? If it does that could mean Necro has very good use for those kind of fights in PUGs…

If not, maybe Anet should think about changing it so weakness does work since protection is stronger (33% is more than 25% of weakness damage reduction).

If the enemy has a breakbar, it only does some damage to the breakbar. So no damage reduction there. Also fumble means that you can’t crit so it has it uses.

So the boss does not do 50% less damage 50% of the time?

If so that is really unfortunate

No, this is a fairly recent change with breakbars. If the condition is greyed out, it does not do it’s effect, only reduces the breakbar.

It does -3.33% breakbar damage per second, at least on FOTM bosses.
