Guild Wars Fansite Friday #62

For the sixty-second Guild Wars Fansite Friday feature, ArenaNet answers three questions about guild-versus-guild combat. One of their answers to follow:

Q: What is the formula for Guild Lord Damage?

A: At the start of the game, the Guild Lord can take no more than 50 damage points per second. Over the first approximately 15 minutes of the game, the damage limit gradually increases up to 250 damage points per second.

If the Guild Lord takes damage that would exceed this limit, his amulet heals him for the difference. If the Guild Lord loses Health due to damage-over-time effects or other direct loss of Health, then once every second, his amulet heals him for the amount of Health he lost that exceeds the limit.

The limit increases at a constant rate of 11.6% per minute, starting when the game clock reads 0:00 and the gates open. The limit reaches 100 at 6:19, 150 at 10:00, 200 at 12:37, and 250 at 14:39, after which it remains at 250 for the rest of the game.
