Guild Wars 2

Has anyone else noticed that the Ranger staff skill Solar Beam is giving incorrect damage? I was testing it on the indestructable golem in HOTM, and it appears to be displaying total damage done instead of individual damage ticks. In game I find this to be problematic, especially when in a fight it appears I’m critting for a large number but its much less than what I thought.

Is this a bug or is this supposed to happen?

It’s a channeled skill, that’s how channeled skills work.

Mesmer’s greatsword autoattack has being doing this since launch.

yea Channeled skills are supposed to behave this way, mesmer GS autos, engineer flamethrower autos, warrior 100 blades, mesmer 1 handed sword 2, ect
