Talk:Virtuoso's armor

Canthan Virtuoso's provides a local armour bonus while activating any skill, whereas the Tyrian or PvP version gives a global bonus while casting spells only. Aethan 14:30, 12 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Is the in-game text description of the armor bonus still the same for Canthan? - 10:19, 14 June 2006 (CDT)
 * No, Canthan-crafted armour says "Armor +15 (while activating skills)" - Aethan 13:00, 14 June 2006 (CDT)
 * The PvP virtuoso's armor has identical wording as the Tyrian version. Anyone know if the local and global bonuses stack?  If they do it could be a nice advantage to having a PvE mesmer because PvP mesmers do not have the Canthan version of virtuoso's set available.  - Ninja Quail
 * The thread linked by Aethan says they stack. --68.142.14.98 20:08, 12 July 2006 (CDT)
 * It says the global version and teh local version do add up. However multiple pieces of the global version won't stack, and locals are locals so you can't stack among them. - 21:15, 12 July 2006 (CDT)

Game over. Most recent update has fixed this. Now a local effect. Kessel 05:45, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

Counter-intuitive
Isn't a major reason for going mesmer primary to reduce the time it takes to activate your skills? Providing an armor bonus for an increasingly short duration seems kinda backwards to me. 404notfound 02:31, 25 May 2007 (CDT)
