Guild Wars 2

As we all know with the new stat changes everybody lost about 4% precision that just disappeared into thin air.
Have Anet commented on this? Will we ever get it back? Do people even know about it?

It would be interesting to know if anybody knows anything more other than the fact that it’s gone. I’m actually hoping they are aware of this but haven’t seen any info.
Does anyone have more info on it? Or opinions?

I didn’t lose any Crit Chance myself. I was at 79% before the patch, 82% after the patch.

Everybody? Nah.

I’m much more ticked about losing up to 30% boon/condi duration, which weren’t rolled into the trait lines, as was suggested.

Yeah I am annoyed that my boon duration is gone with basically no way to get it back (Givers armor only gives 1% and you’re stuck with healing power and toughness as the other stats).

Cindas.6149:

• we gained +74 precision with the base attribute changes, however they kept the base critical chance at 4% (meaning they gave us 74 pts and it didn’t do anything at all)

I knew about the downlevelling but didn’t know that. I can’t be too annoyed about something I didn’t even notice but it does seem pretty bad to pretend like we’re getting extra base critical chance to offset the loss from traits and then not actually give it to us.

I gained a couple of % on my ele personally, but I run celestial mostly, so my precision also went up at the same time. If you are somehow at the same precision stat than before then I guess it makes sense that you have less, but wouldn’t your precision stat be marginally higher if your gear was precision based in some regard?

Wait… where are these numbers coming from?

My level 80 ranger with exotic full zerk gear except for rare soldiers spine and ascended zerk trinkets only gets 1890 precision and a 46.38% crit chance! Where the heck are 79%+ figures obtained?

There, I’ve highlighted why you’re not getting as high as precision as I am! =)

Below is a screenshot of my stats with my Shortbow (ascended at 82%) and my Dagger/Pistol (legendary only 70% but celestial giving a health boost to me).

I also have Full Assassin’s Gear rather than Zerker, plus [Signet of Agility]. I can’t be certain if you can get this high on ranger or not, because I don’t recall a Precision sigil.

I’m way more concerned with my boon duration on my retaliation Guardian. I’ve pretty much already accounted for the lost crit chance on effected characters.
