Poledra Val.1490 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) I couldent agree more clearly Harbinger needs more buffing...love the sarcasm from the OP hehe In all seriousness anyone who tells me willbender is the most broken spec in gw2 pvp atm needs to play the meta harbinger build. It is more bunkier/sustain then any singular heavy class in pvp whilst puking out rediculous amounts of dmg/condie. Oh lets not forget that it has every boon at its disposal with pulsing prot and practically infinite quickness. Did i forget to mention how its mobility is way over the top to:) Either way this spec needs way more nerfing then any other spec currently in pvp and im sure Anet is aware of this.

It stacked Not a Long Time ago, thats why reaper was able to get 100% DMG reduction last year, now it does Not Stack but i dont remember the corrects calculation. The DMG reduction exists since Release of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DMG reduction exists since Release of the game It was stacking with other sources of dmg reduction always. Thing is it should stack multiplicatevely, but due to the mistake in the patch it stacked additevely for a couple of days. For expample. Reaper's shroud 50% + protection 33% + infusing terror 20% (reaper's shroud #3) should lead to 73,2% total dmg reduction in normal circumstanses. But due to the bug it was straight 103% dmg reduction. Bug was patched and now it is back to normal. About harbinger shroud. It doesn't have any dmg reduction by itself. If it does it is either a bug or an undocumented change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to buy eod, Just Attack one of the trillions harbinger and you See directly its half DMG, Most of the time you don't realize it because of the perma weakness from all those necros, i am 100% Sure that its There and i would never Trust a necro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should show only on their side, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrHome.1920 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) I have tested it: Reaper (no gear, no skills, no traits): PvE (Cursed Shore) / Risen Plaguebearer autoattack outside of shroud: 1800 damage in shroud: 1200 damage (33% reduction) PvP (Heart of the Mists) / Svanir opening attack (after knockdown) outside of shroud: 4700 damage in shroud: 2350 damage (50% reduction) Harbinger (no gear, no skills, no traits): PvE (Cursed Shore) / Risen Plaguebearer autoattack outside of shroud: 1800 damage in shroud: 1800 damage (no reduction) PvP (Heart of the Mists) / Svanir opening attack (after knockdown) outside of shroud: 4700 damage in shroud: 4700 damage (no reduction) Edited June 3, 2022 by KrHome.1920 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more or less of an issue here let's be real, when you fight an Harbinger as Power your damage is nullified by the constant weakness, not that 50% damage reduction, if that meant anything broken I'd know for the fact that Jalis playstyle is similar but much harder to consistently effectively pull off.

Kuma.1503 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 As far as I'm aware it doesn't reduce damage, but it's easy to make that mistake when they have 30 stacks of carapace, pulsing prot, and constant weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedywholesome.9081 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I posted a comment on some weaver thread here on the PvP section, stating that I do NOT take the DM trait. It's not hard to stack carapace from that traitline to make Harb seem tanky. W/o DM, Harbingers may produce more damage but at least it's not yet another tanky necro build anomaly. Harbingers were so awesome when they were DPS but despite the DPS nerf, synergies between traitlines, shroud and weapon skills are so flawlessly weaved together that PvPers just created another iteration of the build.
