The Way of Martial Knowledge

WalkingCodex · October 2020

Hi. Hoping to clear up how this set works. I am being told by several guildies that the eight percent safe boost applies to the whole group. However, the description clearly reads

"While your stamina is below 50%, YOUR light attacks cause the enemy to take 8% additional damage for 5 seconds."

Nothing about your group. I could swear they just made this change when they did all the item sets and can't find it. All the older unofficial online info on the set does indicate the whole group gets the damage boost.

So which is it, please?

Damage boost. Sigh.

Martial Knowledge applies a debuff when the conditions are met on the target which affects the whole group's damage.

It says the enemy takes 8% more damage, not the enemy takes 8% more damage from you. The tooltip is accurate and your guildies are correct.

Your light attacks cause the enemy to take 8% more damage. I think it's pretty simple. Your light attacks debuff them, causing them to take 8% more damage from everything.

Thanks for the clarification. I think the writing could be clearer, but now I understand that user's light attack is the debuff and not the only source of increased damage.
