DK Stone Giant - Stagger mechanic question

Stone Giant (moprh): This morph no longer grants Minor Resolve after casting, but instead enhances the “Stagger” mechanic where enemies affected take 25 extra damage from any attack, per stack.

I've been able to partialy test this mechanic. It increases damage of all attacks, including dot ticks, by a flat amount.

My question is, as I don't have time to test it, does this work as a classic vulnerability debuff, thus increasing damage of all party members attacking the debuffed enemy? Or is it only for the casting Dragonknight?

Thanks for answers.

    Afaik it is a debuff, which means every person attacking the target will deal more damage.

    This is only worth it in Trials, right? Where there are 10 DPS doing damage. In PVP, this is quite useless mechanic, unless you surf a 20-man zerg.

    We still don't know how this exactly works. The effect is removed after 5 stacks when the opponent gets stunned but the bosses are immune to stun so I don't know if you can keep 5 stacks on the boss. It might be hard for the tanks to sustain it because it costs stamina but a Stamina-DK would be able to apply it in a raid or dungeon. I find this skill not very useful in PvP if you don't use it as a spammable because otherwise the uptime of the stacks will be so low, that the difference won't be noticable at all.

    yes. the stagger will do jack *** in pvp.

    however, the initial damage and the minor brut proc from it is pretty good.
