Guild Wars 2

wich the trait Hardening Presistance wen i use shiro’s skill impossible odds it give me 10 stack of those protection thingys
ventari’s skills Protective solace give 8 stacks
jali’s vengfull hammer give 7 stacks
malyx embrace the darkness 8 stacks
glints upkeep out of combat does not drain
to be continioued

The Hardening stacks are working as intended. The trait doesn’t mention anything about what upkeeps it will/won’t work with so it’s assumed that the stacks are based on upkeeps from any legends.

i assumed it will be 1 stack per upkeep

Working as intended:
“Gain toughness for each point of upkeep you are currently using.”

1 point = 1 energy point spent. EtD for example spends 8 energy per second, so that’s 8 points. Therefore 8 × 40.

Upkeep skills means any skill that has a continuous energy cost per second to use. Therefore, it isn’t limited to Glint skills only.

It’s a 1:1 ratio for energy costs of all your total upkeeps

Example:
Facet of Energy (1 upkeep) = 1 stack
Facet of Energy + Strength (3 upkeep) = 3 stacks
Jalis Hammers (7 upkeep) = 7 stacks
Embrace the Darkness + Facet of Nature (10 upkeep) = 10 stacks

Upkeep maxes at 10 energy regardless of what combination you activate to achieve that. So at most you can only get 400 toughness (10 stack of 40 toughness).

It’s one stack per energy point up-kept.

We ninja’d you Roy :p

NO SPECIAL EFFECTS WITH THE LEGENDARY SHIELD!

I found another bug. Skill 4 on shield ‘Envoy of Exuberance’ will get absorbed by a friendly guardians shield skill 5. Leaving the skill useless.

And, uh, Guardian shield skills could use some love while you’re at it. >.>
