Guild Wars 2

This also pertains to the trait “moment of clarity”, and “signet of the hunt”. There seems to be some ambiguity in how much more damage is dealt.

The signet, trait and status bar effect say either +150% or increased 150%. This would mean that if you normally hit for 100 damage, you would hit for 250 damage with an attack of opportunity. Most discussions threads I see state that the effect is 50% more damage, not 150% more, i.e. the effect makes a 100 damage attack deal 150 damage.

It would be nice if the tooltips could use correct math lingo to actually state what is happening. If someone says you are doing 100% times the damage, then you are doing the same damage. If somesone says you are doing 100% increased damage, you are doing double the damage.

Please clarify all instances of this effect and update the tooltips.

Its 50%, not 150%. Tooltip is wrong.

Yeah, I assumed the threads discussing it are correct. I just would like when they are updating the tooltips in these waves of patches to fix this one to be more clear like other recent changes. Because 150% damage seems worthy of a GM trait, 50% seems…. less so.

It’s 50%? That explains the lack of huge numbers one would expect of a 150% increase in damage. -_-

Its still enough to get some pretty epic crits.
