Guild Wars 2

Has this been put into play yet? Just asking as I was doing map completion with my level 80 Ele in the Cursed Shores and received a level 78 exotic pistol and a level 78 exotic rifle as a reward. You know, the ones that say in red “this weapon in not usable by your profession”.

I’ve been seeing a better balance in my loot on non-medium professions when it comes to armor loot.

That is a very welcomed change.

Honestly when they talk about profession based loot rewards I think they pretty much only meant the level up rewards. And that everything else remains rng the same as it always has, DR willing.

I don’t think it affects level 80s. Only levels 1-79.

But even when i tried to key farm after september patch to see the change .My warrior was getting pistol,scepters and staffs so even when leveling the Profession Based Loot is a joke

I can’t say I’ve really noticed a difference on my level 80 characters, but my level 45 Thief has been getting all leathers and it’s horrible.

It affects level 80s. Just that most people pay a lot more attention to the quality level (Basic, Fine, Masterwork, Rare, Exotic) of loot, rather than the armour type. Which is why you don’t notice so much.

Can’t say I agree Olvendred. I’ve farmed CS events a lot and I get a huge mix of armors and weapons… most of which I wouldn’t be able to use.

I bounce around between a few Level 80’s & I’m still getting plenty of Loot with those “not usable” red letters staring me in the face.
