It is not really a critcal bug or anything but something that coud be adressed. It even works in War and Invasion if you are in a Cannon or Repeater.
Btw. The buff from Healing Staff are global too. Not sure if intendet or not but it doesnt really make sense that i can buff someone with my ultimate Leadership skills who is 100km away.

They have to fix this asap. It is 10% damage for free of course it is critical and “Defensive Formation” might have the same bug. They have to look into this.

While they’re “fixing” it they should also fix the issue with Shields only applying stats when the SW is equipped and active. SW users are already suffering from half stats so it’s only fair that their groupmates get a fraction of it in the form of a global buff.

There’s nothing to fix, tell me where does it say that the group has to be around the leader to work

There is a video on yt when the player that using S&S is not in the party anymore and they still have the buff damage.
