Flurry and Using Attack Skills that Increase Damage - Guild Wars Forums

ShadowStorm · Jul 03, 2006, 09:40 AM // 09:40

Ok, lets say I have a Warrior. This Warrior uses attack skills such as Galrath Slash and Final Thrust that add damage to his attacks. My question is this: If my Warrior were to use Flurry at all times, would the damage increase from his attack skills be reduced by 25% or would the game calculate the damage from my sword, reduce that by 25%, then add the increased damage from the attack skill being used?

Thanks in advance for any helpful responses.

GuildWiki's page on Flurry isn't very clear on that, but on the talk page there is following:

Attack skills are also unaffected. An easy test is Balthazar's Island with Dragon Slash, Flurry, a candy cane weapon, and 0 ranks in swords. 4 damage to the dummy without Flurry, 3 with Flurry (~ 25% reduction, as expected). Dragon Slash, which adds 10 extra damage at rank 0, brings that up to 14 and 13, respectively.

So the base damage your weapon does is reduced by 25% first, then the attack skill's +dmg bonus is added on top of it.
