Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if someone could tell me how many people Venomous Aura really does affect.
The Trait states “When you use a venom skill, you apply the effects to all nearby allies as well,” but Blinding Powder is suppose to "grant stealth to nearby allies. " But it only seems to Stealth 3 near you.
Was wondering if this one has a cap as well.

All of the AoE buffs have a cap of 5 targets. This lets a Venomous Aura soloing player buff our Thieves Guild pets. Or in a group situation, you’d be buffing other players and pets / NPCs as applicable.

On my own Thief (which is a Venomous Aura build), there is a world of difference in the dps output of my Thieves Guild pets when I’m sharing my Venoms. It increases my own damage output through the extra Vulnerability stacks from Skale Venom. Then it also increases our collective dps output as we’re constantly triggering the Leeching Venoms trait.

EDIT

As a S/P melee focused Thief, I’m constantly buffing the other melee players around me. Especially on things like the undead priest champions in the Orr content, the melee players have reported noticeable dps and healing changes when they’re playing near me.

Thanks. That answers my question and validates my plans. should be a bit better at defending in WvWvW now.

Ah. WvW… Just keep in mind that the AoE is relatively short ranged around you. If I’m fighting in a dungeon or against a champion mob, the ranged casters who are staying back will not receive my AoE buffs. This means that while your Venomous Aura abilities will greatly aid a zerg which is closely huddled together, you will be mostly worthless when people are spread out. (You’ll still keep yourself buffed, but you won’t get to do the true point of your character spec.)
