Using the broom gives the damage reduction buff. It also stacks, so using the broom multiple times adds duration to the boon.

Does it sound too good to be true?
I’m 99.9% certain it’s unintended (why does costume brawl need 5% damage reduction?), and that ANet doesn’t want people to use it.
This is exactly why I am not using my broom outside of events that will involve me fighting.

Don’t do it. Don’t abuse this in WvW or PvE.
It’s obviously unintended. Hopefully they’ll see the priority of this issue and respond quickly.

I reported it in-game as well as here before shelving my broom (and by that I mean burying it in my pockets), personally.
I don’t want to be on the business end of ANet’s backhand.

can you equip/unequip/equip/unequip/equip/etc. and get 5 hours of dmg reduction, then keep it while doing pve stuff? actually, I would expect it to go away if you change zones or wp, so nm.
It didn’t. It was the actual boon for using the damage reduction item. And yes, the duration stacked.
This last mini-patch appears to have fixed it.
