Guild Wars 2

I apologize if this has already been answered, but the words “discipline,” “burst,” and “damage” bring up all kinds of irrelevant results in the search bar.

The Burst Damage from the Discipline trait only adds .1% per point, and I’ve not been able to really notice any difference even with 30 points spent.

Is this a bug? Am I using this stat wrong? Does anyone have any advice?

PvP evisc and PvE/WvW evisc are two different beasts.
PvP 20/30/0/0/20 full berzerkers with 50%crit damage still maxes at about 10k damage.

The mentioned nerf was due to the combination of 30% more damage from burst with the 30% more damage sigil that use to exist “sigil of doom” effectively making you already 200% damage evisc hit for over 300% damage. Now a 8k crit becomes 12k which was effectively one shotting people back in beta. therefore it was adjusted and the sigil was removed from the game.

burst refers to your adrenalin skill, 3% is completely worthless by the way, you probably would never even notice a difference from it being at 0%.

the burst damage from discipline line was nerfed.
However i still find it has best utility’s like : weapon swap 5 seconds, mobile strikes, sweet revenge, 20% signet reuse for your ultimate.

So it’s not a bug, and the Burst Damage is basically worthless?

Probably because eviserate already crits for between 4-6K on my warrior who is in full power, toughness, vitality gear and traits 10/0/30/30/0.

I can’t even imagine what it would hit for with a DPS trait spec and berserker armor.

9-12k average, possibly more depending on target’s armor.

So it is because of how I was trying to use it. Thanks guys!

Traitline is still useful for the crit damage and the major traits, the actual burst damage boost is trash though.

it’s weak.
Given how most bursts are also not signature in damage, in fact all of them but killshot/eviscrate/forceful shot are not primarily focused on direct damage(pretty sure it doesn’t work with flurry bleeding).
So? Well, it would be fair to make it in middle ground at somewhere 0.5% damage increase per point. 3% is just for lolz. I mean, compare that to 300 power. Whats going to give you more damage on burst ability?
