Guild Wars 2

On accident, I put my dagger with my axe instead of focus and noticed a drop in crit, from 73.19% to 67.47%

At first I thought it was a change in stats, but my dagger and focus both have 85 Power and 120 Precision.

Stats on Focus – 85 Power/120 Precision/ 85 Condi
Dagger – 85 Power/120 Precision/ 85 Ferocity.

But Ferocity doesn’t determine Crit %. If Power did, I’d understand, but both have identical Power and Precision. I checked the sigils and they’re just condi.

My spec doesn’t influence Precision either unless it’s on a foe below the threshold, but this is just flat out Crit drop on weapon change when the Crit stats are the same. I can post my build if needed.

Crit % can also mean percentage damage added, youre probably not looking at the right stat.

85 ferocity equates to about 5.6% difference so makes sense youre looking at the damage increase not the chance. Also crit chance of 73% is very high so another reason youre probably looking at damage.

Do you have any traits that affect precision or crit chance?
