Goal

Finish phase 1 of a Cobalt, with minimal players, using 3 burn phases.

Strategy

The focus of this run will be to maximize the amount of damage every player can output. A lot of preparation will be required before the attempt. The plan is straightforward:

1. Get your down-scaled power attribute to 1380 (the cap) using, in order of priority: equipment, infusions, runes, traits, utilities (sharpening stones), food, sigils.
2. anything that gives power beyond the cap should be replaced by something else that increases damage
3. strength booster
4. combat consumables (including turrets)

Equipment

Bring exotic/ascended armor and trinkets with power as the main attribute.

Infusions

• Basic mighty infusion: +4 power
• Mighty WvW infusion: +5 power
• Mighty infusion: +5 power

Runes

Bring a rune set with power as the main attribute. Scholar and Strength are ideal. Ogre and Hoelbrak are acceptable.

Traits

In addition to your usual class traits that give a direct damage boost, some classes can boost the damage of nearby allies as well.

	Empower Allies	+150 power (5 players)
	Vigorous Spirits	Frost spirit chance to proc increases from 35% to 70% (5 players)

For every 5 players present, one should be responsible for bringing each of the above trait.

Utilities

Bountiful Sharpening Stone. Every player will need to craft this for him/herself because this is account bound.

Food

1. Use any power food if still needed.
2. The cake from the birthday booster gives power that goes past the cap. This lasts 10 minutes, so it will need to be reapplied mid-fight.
3. Various salads give more damage when you are moving.
4. Some foods give boon duration, which helps with might. See here and here.

Sigils

1. Sigil of Force
2. Sigil of Battle
3. Sigil of Night not unless we do this during nighttime...
4. Sigil of Bloodlust

Strength Booster

+5% damage
