Guild Wars 2

I’ve been testing this for a couple of hours, and it appears as if the critical damage stat on armour isn’t transferred to Phantasms.

Crit damage from traits and from rune sets appears to effect them just fine, but I could see no noticeable difference in my phantasms’ crit damage when I switched from gear with crit damage to gear without it, with the same power and other stats.

In fact, the armour/weapon set with higher crit damage actually had significantly the lowest crits than the set with no critical damage, as well as crits with only 1 or 2 damage higher than the no crit damage set.

Bump, this is a pretty big problem for mesmers and it would be great to hear if this is working as intended and I wasted 20g on zerker gear and need to get something else.

Yeah this needs to change.

Currently phantasm damage is WAY too high on mesmers with bunker gear. Mesmers that have damage-oriented builds are not benefiting at all from using phantasms in this way either.

Any other pet/summon type skill in the game uses player stats. Why should phantasms be any different…
