Guild Wars 2

So, I expected a 33% increase, but it seems there is a bug with traits.

• Prior to the patch, my Flame Jet while traited into Deadly Mixture, did Damage (10x): 1,640.
  * Now, with the patch, it does Damage (10x): 1,640.

Same exact build.

Without traits (pre-patch):

• Damage (10x): ~1,300.

Without traits (now):

• Damage (10x): ~1,800.

Conclusion: It’s a bug. There is definitely a buff, but traits that buff Flamethrower damage like: Deadly Mixture (Deal extra damage by 15%), reduce it severely to its prior numbers. I should be seeing ~2300 damage now with the trait.

Did you check the actual combat log or just going by the tooltip? Pretty sure it’s just a tooltip bug but you are actually getting the 15% increase.

Just tested in HotM.

Reported findings on the Reddit post as well. It seems there is no buff at all and the trait does not get applied.

Plus, comparing it with screenshot chat logs, there seems to be no buff at all.

Deadly mixture is bugged and reduces the damage on the FT skills

No it does not. I already explained this in 4 other threads on the topic.the tool tip literally reduces the damage only in the tool tip. When in actuality it does increase the damage. This is very easy to judge now that we have more info in the combat log.

Tested in HotM by looking at the combat log. Deadly Mixture does increase the damage of Flamethrower by the advertised 15%. However, the tooltip with Deadly Mixture is wrong.
