Is the Strongarm bracer working as a damage reduction debuff applied to affected mobs, whereby all players in the group gain increased damage against those mobs or is the benefit specific to the player wearing it?
I understand from the fandom page that knockback from any player in the group triggers it, but does everyone have to wear one for all to gain the benefit?
Strongarms is a mob debuff that adds to all other mob debuffs including other strong arms. It increases the damage the mob takes from everyone, but the mob must be hit by a knockback from the player wearing the strongarms. Being hit does not mean that the knockback had to be successful, just attempting to knock back still counts.
If a support character is wearing the strong arms but does not have a knockback/pull skill, then no debuff will be applied even if the mob is hit with a knockback by a different player.
Makes sense that way, thanks for that… seems fandom needs an update on the trigger detail.
