Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I’ve been playing around a lot with Celestial Form #5, and I noticed in PvP, it hits twice as strong as it does in PvE.

Full Zerker + Scholar runes.

Tested on Veteran Warthog in PvE: 1500, 1500, 1500, 4800 dmg. (Total= 9300)

In PvP, it hits around 3200, 3200, 3200, 6800 dmg. (Total= 16400)

Would it be possible to fix the PvE equivalent to match its damage in PvP?

Thanks!

Just to get the obvious out of the way:

• You’re in a level 80 zone?
• Do vet warthogs have more toughness than whatever you’re attacking in PvP? Warthogs are one of the tankier pets.

It should be mitigated based on targets toughness. Why would you assume it’s a defect ? Give more details on the testing environment.

Among my testing environments, I also did Skritt in Dry Top.

While my testing environment isn’t ideal, something is very off. Just try it ingame and see.

The PvE version is significantly weaker.

Interesting, and this calls for further testing. Anyone?

Hmm, just did a totally non-controlled test and I think you’re right.

On another note, this is the most pain in the kitten test I’ve ever done in GW2, trying to get AF to test the kitten thing. No way I’m doing a controlled test several times of this.

I tested and checked numbers:

spvp skill description numbers:
power, 2075
minor tics, 608
major tic, 1622

Cursed Shore skill description numbers:
power, 2123
minor tics, 378
major tic, 1009

and the skill overall does seem to hit harder against pve golems than cursed shore undead by roughly double. considerably more ;-)

Personally, I hope they fix it to match the PvP Variant.

It is a really cool playstyle for Zerkers to build up Astral Force and unleash a burst with #5.

You can test it on someone in the guild hall arena if you have built it. Have them put on enough toughness to equal that of the golems and you should be able to get close to or more power/precision/ferocity.

You’re just gonna get PvP nerfed…

Just test with the same person in PvE and PvP who has roughly the same stats.

Yep, I see it coming too.
One more reason to hate the company. Oh well.

Eurantien.4632:

Most likely yes

I’m really not convinced this skill is behaving differently.

Its got two completely different skill description numbers while under ~ the same power. Its pretty obvious.

Not fixed… Let’s keep bug reporting.
