Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else notice that your kit’s attack is lower than the rifle’s? The power is the same, but the attack is significantly lower. When I use a pistol, however, the attack remains the same. Do kits have a base attack the same as the pistol, or is this a bug?

Any thoughts?

Kits have a 969 base attack value at level 80. It’s not a very meaningful number, though, because every skill has an individual power coefficient that determines how much damage will increase based on attack.

There are some strange issues here—currently, kits in PvP do the same damage no matter what is equipped, but in PvE kits do more damage with p/s or p/p because of the extra stats. If base attack carried, kits would do much more damage in PvP with a rifle equipped. The damage in PvE would be similar to pistols or p/s because dual weapons give more stats.

If base attack carried, kits would do more direct damage in PvP with a rifle equipped, and a similar amount in PvE between rifle/dual wield, basically reversing the current situation.

So…yeah, it’s weird.
