Talk:Nightstalker's armor

Because of how the mesmer armor's bonus work, I have suspiction that the "while *-ing" line of bonuse are global non-stacking, whereas the "vs * attacks" line of bonuses are local. Someone remember to check this on 3/24. -PanSola 13:19, 18 February 2006 (CST)

It is NOT global.

As far as I could test it, it's not global. A description of the experiment follows:

I started a scrim with a warrior with Wild Blow and put on crap newbie armor and some max Nightstalker's boots (any hits to the feet would show up as doing much less damage, making it easier to filter them out). I stood in place and asked the warrior to wale on me with Wild Blow for a while. Then I started attacking the warrior continuously (lowered my Dagger Mastery so it barely even touched her hp) and asked her to keep using Wild Blow on me whenever it recharged. Neglecting hits to my feet (I had a hard time getting a real value for that while I was attacking, unfortunately, as it just never seemed to happen), I saw no difference in the damage values at all. Conclusion: the bonus isn't global.

Now, this was a pretty crude test, given that I didn't spend a whole 30 minutes doing it or what have you, but it was convincing enough that I put Nightstalker's on most of my armor bits rather than just the feet. &mdash; 130.58 (talk) ( 10:44, 27 June 2006 (CDT) )
