Guild Wars 2

How much damage do you get (roughly) out of your basic auto attacks against normal level 80 mobs with a shortbow wearing berserker or other high power gear? I’m wearing condition heavy gear atm and I’m curious exactly how much less direct damage my shots do.

Thanks

If you are wearing Rabid, for example, changing to Berserker will double the AA damage from the power scaling, then your crits will also do 50% more damage on top of that. Since Rabid and Berserker have the same precision amount, you are going to be doing about 125% more damage, on average. So, you’ll kill things before the conditions start to stack up.

So, an AA with Rabid gear will do 504 damage, including bleed tick. An AA from Berserker gear will do 748 damage including bleed ticks. Assuming a critical hit for that.

So, what did we learn?

Not to mention SB needs flanking to cause bleeding -.-

Well, the flanking requirement is not all that bad really if you test it, its not a big angle really. But, yeah, without the bleed its even worse.
