Guild Wars 2

Was trying to see if there was any synergy between Power Armor (power from toughness) and Juggernaut when I noticed that my power was going down whenever I switched to the flamethrower kit. Suffice to say, I wasn’t happy as it would drop, and then the might stacks from juggernaut just brought it back up to normal levels, making the talent seem worthless.

I chalked it up to kits not factoring in weapon stats other than damage [Edit: Just saw a post below which confirms this is not how it works], but then when I used p/shield, no such drop occurred.

With rifle I have 3152 power. Switch to a kit and it becomes 2916.
With p/s I have 2916 power and there’s no change while switching.

All berserker items, so P/S is 180 power, while Rifle is 179 Power. Yet it’s almost as if the rifle has 235 more power somewhere. I was away on break for a while.

Did I miss something?

your looking at the attack rating on the hero sheet, that is base weapon damage + power. Which suprisingly has nothing to do with how actual damage is calculated.

Kits have the same base weapon damage as the lowest exotic base weapon damage, as you can see from the same attack rating when switching from pistol/shield to a kit.

If your talking about the trait Energized armor, which would seem it should benefit from the extra 200 toughness from Juggernaut (which should give you an extra 10 power, while in flamethrower), I have no clue if this actually works. Ill go test and report back later

Agh, alright. I knew I was probably missing something silly.
