Guild Wars 2

Not sure this is working as intended. Let me explain, currently if you switch any item with agony resist with an item that doesn’t have ar (or has less) the agony resist does not scale back up once both items are exchanged again. For example:

- weapon set A has +10 ar (2-hand weapon)
- weapon set B has no ar

If you swap to weapon set B you lose 10 ar. Once you swap back to weapon set A you do NOT get the 10 ar back. You have to wait until you zone (due to fractal being over or reloging).

This is also the case if you enter a fractal with non ar gear (I accidentally didn’t have my ar rings and back piece on when entering a fractal. switched those out mid fractal but my ar did not increase).

Would love to know if this is working as intended. This basically makes swaping to a non ascended weapon set very disadvantageos if ar is not covered via ring/back piece slots since ar will remain lower even when switching back. Not to mention the hassle of having to relog in case you forget to put fractal gear on.

This is the case for all ascended items.
I’t fun getting my 55 AR lowered to 20 because I change gear to maximize my usefullness during different parts of the run… And ironically end up less useful.

This bug has been around since fractal launch.

It used to really be a pain when I entered fractals with my MF gear still on, and when I tried to switch it to my zerker gear with AR it was a no go.

Only solution is to leave and return.

Reequipping all ascended gear fixes the issue. Also i have 55 ar on 1 weapon set and 50/45 on the other and it changes between 55 and 45 no problem.

Yeah I have to log out when this happens

^This.

Take off every AR-granting piece of equipment you’re wearing and then put it back on.

Wow, I never noticed it before… I probably didn’t notice because we, elementalists, do not have any weapon swap so equipping new weapons (as mentioned above) does not trigger the bug. But I’ll watch it carefully.

I hope this gets fixed fast.

I’m an ele too, but it happens if I just manually switch weapons too. So watch out if you switch from staff to scepter or whatever
