Guild Wars 2

I have been thoroughly testing this trait and have concluded that this trait is either bugged (not working as intended), or the text is misleading.

Text: “Nearby allies gain might for 5s when you land a critical hit.”

This trait is bugged when a projectile or the same pulse of an AoE spell crits different targets. Eg. If I use staff 1 and I land a crit on 1 target, I gain 1 stack of might. If I land a crit on 2 or more targets I only gain 1 stack of might.

It is my understanding that I landed 2+ critical hits, therefore I should be getting an according amount of might stacks.

I’ve read that it has a hidden 1 second cooldown. I don’t use it on my Guard so I can’t prove if this is true or not.

I believe there is some kind of internal cooldown based on the behavior I’ve observed. Personally, I think the internal cooldown could do with being 0.5 sec instead of 1 second. If I crit twice in a row on auto attack, I think I should get two stacks of might.

However, getting 1 stack of might for every target hit by a single spell might be a bit much. Consider that those might stacks go to everyone nearby.
