Guild Wars 2

So, Our kits damage match highest Exotic weapon level
Now as we know that After the first patch, our kits got 5% increase dmg.
which is the difference between Exotic & Ascended
Couple of hours later, ANet added another Patch HOTFIX lowering down Kits dmg. back to Exotic weapon level -5% dmg.
Legendary Weapons now match Ascended Weapons which is 5% more dmg.

My question
If I have a legendary “which I don’t” OR Ascended weapon
Will the kit dmg be up again the 5%

OR was the HOTFIX meant to never increase our kits dmg. EVEN with Legendary or Ascended weapon equipped.

Nope Kit damage is kit damage, you’ll get the stat increases, but the base damage of the kit won’t increase if you have an ascended/legendary weapon.

yet another letdown of the engineer community. smh

Another disappointment for engineer. Hobo sacks, hidden back pieces, legendaries that don’t work with kits, legendary shield that when throws..throws a wooden shield, and on and on. I love the class, I love the game, but for a game that’s essentially about aesthetics for this point in the game when I’ve done about all you can do… Not much incentive to keep playing. I just wish someone from Arenanet would comment about all these problems. That would solve so many problems if we just knew there was a fix to some/all of these problems coming.
