toughness changes?
The damage formula is still the same so no.
I thought the general consensus was that it was never very strong to begin with. Its lack of condition mitigation makes it a bit unappealing.
Someone on my flist mentioned that there’s a recent bug that makes it ~1/2 as effective as it should be.
I use zerk on most of my jobs in PvE (and I haven’t WvW in a while) so I wouldn’t know if there was a difference; I was just curious if that bug was true.
Was there a patch or a bug that makes toughness not as effective as it was 3 months ago?
No, with ascended gear people are simply capable of min maxing a more damage stats than they were 3 months ago.
