I wanted to mention this just to be sure it gains some visibility. Earlier this year kit damage was adjusted to scale with the highest available weapon at the time (exotics). Kits are unaffected by the weapon damage of the user’s actual weapon and instead have a set weapon damage based level. This is different from the Death Shroud mechanic for necromancers where your main-hand weapon damage affects your damage.
I’m not exactly sure how conjured weapons work regarding stats to be able to tell if that will be a problem.
Kits don’t. I found that out trying to size up damage using Stable Weapons in sPvP.
Try it yourself. Its scaled to an exotic pistol. You actually lose attack swapping from rifle to a kit.
Just tested it with my elementalist and its the same as my Engineer; ignoring the 1% crit damage difference between zerker Scepter/dagger and zerk Staff, the attack is the same while wielding a LH.
Note if you look at the picture, scepter has 5% more crit. That is because theres a Sigil of Accuracy in my scepter.
For people that do not play the engineer or elementalist, they scale up to the highest weapons available to you at your level.
Example: At level 10 they have the stats of level 10 greens, since there are no level 10 rares or exotics, whereas at level 40 they scale up to level 40 rares since there are no level 40 exotics. And at level 80, they of course scale up to level 80 exotics. However, now the highest tier for level 80 will be ascended.
Why would they adjust kit damage?
Ascended gear stats don’t really make a difference and are just for people who need to grind gear to stay attracted to a game rather then enjoying the content. The whole game can be done in exotics and so therefore, obviously, kits don’t need to be increased.
Sheesh. Such selfish engineers! Wanting free legendary stats!

But engies and eles who DO have legendaries and use kits and conjures don’t get to show off the skin either, so it’s only fair!
Quasi-elitist dungeoneer and missing Gw1 GvGs greatly.
“GW2’s PvE is almost as bad as the PvP.”

You have missed the part about how kit scaling works apparently, it has very little to do with the stats but the weapon strength. Weapon strength has a much larger impact on damage numbers than the individual stat contribution because it is multiplied by the power and skill coefficient. If they do not adjust kit strength then it automatically puts a kit user further behind the curve in terms of damage potential regardless if they have obtained ascended gear or not.

You have missed the part about sarcasm.
You should know well enough that sarcasm does not work on a forum. I don’t know you so how would I know if what you typed is sarcastic or what your level of understanding of game mechanics is.
