Guild Wars 2

I noticed that when you equip a kit, flamethrower, bomb kit, grenades etc.
Your original weapons bonus stats get wiped off.
100 power
70 precision
70 condition damage
bonus on the weapon would suddenly get removed.

Although I actually don’t mind if the utility equip and main equip stats are different, shouldn’t the equipment skills for engineers receive the same treatment as the elementalist weapon skill weapons?

Known issue, not going to be fixed, just because.

It will be fixed. Developers said that weapon stats will effect kits in the future patches.

Actually, Jon Peters stated back in a thread about kits and sigils that kits are going to inherit weapon stats, but we didn’t get any ETA so we don’t know how long of a wait we’re going to have for that (or if they’re going to nerf anything in response like they did with sigils).

Correct, this fix has been announced but there has been no date given. If they do nerf kit damage like last patch with grenades/sigils, it will mark the first time in history that something was nerfed for the sake of PvE only, since this currently has no effect in PvP.
