Guild Wars 2

Okay so logging into gw2 last night and I noticed my hp being 2k lower than what it used to be. I looked to make sure I had all my gear on which I did. Then I noticed as I hovered over my armor that the numbers weren’t exactly right.
So I asked in chat if Marauder’s had been nerfed and got the response that it had been ninja nerfed. I haven’t found anything about it in the updates but there it is, plain to see.

Okay you want to ninja nerf Marauder’s, fine. BUT WHY HAVEN’T YOU YET NERFED THE CONDIS? AND YOUR BOON SHARE NERF DID NOTHING TO IT.

Anet destroying their own game on a constant downward spiral. It’s almost as if they have the self destructive syndrome.

Are you sure it’s not because of the WvW reset, resetting the Power of the Mists bonus we get in PvE and WvW? Specifically the Robust % buff (increase maximum HP by upto 10%)?

You can read about it here.

With all my gear on it used to be 26k hp. Before the wvw buff. And I think they stopped the wvw buffs from working in pve a while ago im not sure. But now it’s 24k. With the wvw buffs it would be 29k hp. Now it only gets up to 26k.

The only other conclusion is a piece of gear being bugged and not adding to the overall stats. They’ve done a lot of changes as far as backpieces and maybe they broke them.

Were you underwater when you checked. I just have to ask. Just in case.

Should be easy to check, should it not? Just compare the values on your gear to the values on the wiki. If they don’t match, they’ve been changed. If they match, check the edit history for recent changes.
You can also double check that all pieces add to the total by unequip/equip.

I do think it’s far more likely that the WvW buff or some other buff is the culprit.

Edit: Kittens strikes against grammar again!

If you think the stats were changed, compared them to the wiki (attribute bonuses at 80). Look at the Major x2 Minor x2 column. An Ascended Maurader chest for example should be 121, 121, 67, 67.

WvW bonuses do apply to PvE.

They were originally going to remove the WvW buffs with the introduction of skirmishes but either they are delaying that or not going to remove it anymore. There was a few bugs display bugs initially but that has been fixed already.

There are at least 10 other conclusions one could draw from the evidence provided so far, including that the difference in health was entirely due to the Power of the Mists.

It’s worth posting to ask why there was a difference (and even if there should be one), but I recommend waiting to find out all the facts before being #livid about something.

why wait when you can just add up the numbers? it’s not like vitality’s contribution to total health is an unknown …

My exotic marauder’s armour (crafted over the last 4 days, checked in-game just now) matches the numbers given on the wiki, which are the same as the ones given in the old version of that table from November 2015, when it was on the equipment page:
