Guild Wars 2

For whatever reason I don’t seem to notice much of an increase in my damage when I use this trait. Now I can’t say that I have been able to really run any accurate testing since target dummies don’t have boons so I thought I would ask here. Has anyone had any experience testing this out in a controlled environment to see if it actually works as advertised….3% increase in damage per boon on your target. Thank you in advance!

You won’t really notice it unless you fight someone that relies heavily on boons, such as a guard, ranger, engi etc.

Fought a boon guard/ranger earlier that had 4-5boons up the entire fight, that adds up really quick.

Yeah, see if you can get a friend in another server, make them use a guard, and attack them after they use the “Save Yourselves!” shout. You’ll notice it then

This is pre Dec 10. But my buddy runs more DPS traits, taking DoE vice Mobile Strikes and the one with 5% more damage to weakened foes instead of dogged March, his Earthshaker damage cap was 9.1k, while mine was like 7.7k. It’s not something we both see often but the damage potential is there and noticable. This is in a group run, not roam.
