20 Strength?

In the guildwiki, the skills show damage range from 1 to 20. I'm just curious; how the hell can you get 20 strength??? The highest I could think would be 12 +1(hat)+3(sup rune)+1(20% shield) to make a 16 (possible 17 20% of the time). Where can you get the other 3 points from?

you can't. its for AI reference

no chance, its just extrapolation from monster skills or so.

Some profs can get to 19 using skills like awaken the blood and glyph of elemental power (i believe)

Shrines blessings (+1), Candy Corn(+1) and Golden Egg(+1).

Edit: And Grail of Might(+1).

Shrine Blessings, GoM and GE stack, iirc, never used a Candy Corn before though.

Various PvE consumables and temporary buffs allow insanely high stats, using stuff like Grails and Eggs lets you buff atts through the roof.

I believe there are also Strength + 1(20%) mods for shields that drop in Tyria, but they are extremely rare. Consumables and Lunar/Shrine Blessings can also increase it, like others have said.

consumable combo can get it up there

also bosses sometimes have much higher attributes then we do so we are able to tell the point succession by seeing how much damage their skills do
