Asuran Scan - Guild Wars Forums

I've been using the Asuran Scan skill for quite some time now ;P
The thing I'm not 100% sure of though is that if this skill affects party members as well or not.
I've seen an increase of dmg output for the whole party when I use this skill, but the skill description says only "your attacks".

If anyone knows for sure how this works, it would be appreciated

(btw: I've searched the wiki site, but it doesn't say. :S)

It doesn't affect anyone but your own attacks. Any increase in the whole party's damage is wholly in your mind.

Yes, the only increase in damage in caused by you.

ive been using it since the skill was known, and it does only increase damage for YOUR OWN attacks

I think it affects the summon skills since the damage the creatures cause is shown as yours.

Nope. Even the description says 'your attacks'. As in only physical attacks caused by you.

It doesn't. Asuran Scan increases the damage from the caster's attacks. The only skills it affects are attack skills. Damage from summons is not equal to damage from your attacks, therefore Asuran Scan does not increase damage from summons.
