Guild Wars 2

I noticed under every description for the facets it does state “grant nearby allies boon every few seconds.”

It does apply to me too right????

Yes.

It should affect you as well, at least i hope so. But usally nearby allies don’t include you.

Take a look here https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ally
An effect that emerges from the player may not consider the player be an ally of the effect unless the effect clearly states “allies and yourself”

I’m not sure that’s accurate.

Guys you can clearly see from the POI where roy went over the Glint skills that he is getting all the Facet’s associated buffs when he activates them.

okay great so facets include you.

@lonewolf:
That’s what the wiki says. But as Griffith already said it seems not the case for Facets.

Unless it gets changed from the POI (and I don’t see that coming), they also affect you.
Also traits activated when you apply a boon on an ally also activate when the boon is applied to you (works like that in Altruistic Healing trait).

Yeah, you’re right it does. Never noticed that before. I can’t think of skill/trait that doesn’t affect you along with your allies though.

Fumigate of the engineers elexiergun. Say ally and dont effect your self. Most skills usually say “… you and your allies” like the engineers heal turret. Or guardians shouts state “to yourself and your allies”, except the “feel my wrath” that says “nearby allies” but affects you as well.

Kinda strange. Maybe this is only stated wrong on skills and traits that were changed after the last big balance patch and new HoT ones.
