Guild Wars 2

I thought that Life Blast scaled with Life Force? Does it really scale with Power, too? If it does scale with Life Force, does it scale by percentage, or amount? Since total Life Force scales with Vitality, it makes a difference. The tooltip is ambiguous.

Life Blast scales with power. The damage range of Life Blast probably is percentual. As a rule of thumb, don’t use Life Blast for DPS if you reach 50% Life Force. Actually if you can attack your enemy with your dagger don’t use Life Blast at all…

Thats right, I’m from Germany

forice.3165:

once test with golem in spvp. you will see flesh wurm is strongest and Shadow Fiend second strongest if you don’t use any other skills. bone fiend doesn’t do 500 damage x2. he repeats this cycle. 500 damage x2 – 150 damage x2 – 150 damage x2 – 150 damage x2 – 500 damage x2….

I didn’t state that Bone Fiend does 500×2, he does 500 with 2 attacks. Although the crippling attack of the Bone Fiend does a little more damage.
The damage numbers of minions are an average, there is a certain spread. For example the Flesh Golem hits between 500 and 1000 which is an average of ~750 damage.

Corrected Rending Claws DPS to 196 DPS @916 Power

I use Staff/Dagger. Both benefit quite well from Power as does Death Shroud and those Staff/Dagger are the best Lifeforce Generators. Although Axe 2 has the potential to generate the moste Lifeforce it gets interrupted/canceled quite often, which makes it lag behind.
After further testing: without any traits Bleedings from Scepter tick 5 times and with both +20% Bleeding and +33% Scepter Condition Duration they tick 8 times, I guess the base Bleeding is something like 5,3 seconds.

Unless you want to be outDPSed by your Flesh Golem, yeah, pick dagger. Its just autoattack though. I’d say staff outperforms dagger on multiple targets.

I MISCALCULATED THE COMBO CAST TIME OF SCEPTER ATTACKS! ITS 2,5 seconds and NOT 4,5 seconds, sorry!
