Guild Wars 2

I usually ALWAYS have both of these traits since i can remember. But tonight i decided to take them off.

The reason being, i notice no change in crit chance on my hero panel, which i have usaully just dismissed as how the traits work, but after thinking about numerous other trait bugs i wondered if i was actually getting the extra crit chance or not.

Honestly i don’t notice a difference when i have side strikes off. at all. So i was wondering if anybody has actually tested this and could confirm whether or not the extra 7% crit chance is actually applied, as well as the 5% from keen observer, which you would think would show up on the hero panel as a crit modifier….

Any help appreciated, thanks.

I don’t really know if it is working . . . but . . . i think is not possible that the percentage can be shown in the stats because it is circumstantial.

You must hit in the back or side of your opponent to work, and there are no fields in the status windows to show this.

It would be good if a dev could let us know if it is working as intended.

Heart of the Mists is a good place to test things like this. You should be able to tell the difference between 4% and 9% with a large enough sample of attacks on a golem.

I would think that at least Keen Observer would be able to be shown on the critical chance stat. Considering it is a crit modifier that is applied while you are above 90% hp, it should be shown as long as you are above the threshold.
