Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I’ve been playing this afternoon in PvP, and could not help noticing that my damage output went down significantly, I’d say by about 20%-30%. I also felt that my critical chance was somehow reduced (I play with Signet Mastery). Did they tone down some stats?

I could be wrong – I had not recorded original figures against test golems, so I cannot compare properly. Also, players have been slowly adapting to the patch, many exchanging celestial gear for (condi) tankier armors.

Thanks.

Attributes were removed completely from trait lines and were shifted into your base stats and gear. So because of that depending on what gear and traits you had previously it will have affected your damage.

How long ago are you asking for when they changed? If very recently as in the past few days, they didn’t do anything that would amount to a 20-30% DPS loss.

That was during the week-end beta, that ended a couple hours ago. When the 23/6 patch came out, I had a substantial DPS increase, and during the week-end I felt like I had the same DPS than pre-patch.

I see they’ve recently fixed a bug on Whirling Axe, resulting in a loss of 180 precision, but that alone would not suffice to explain the DPS loss. Oh well, if nothing has changed in terms of offensive/defensive stats, then I must have drawn invalid conclusions from fighting too many bunkers…

Thanks for your answer.

I had the same issue – then I realized that I didn’t activated armor attack xd

Hehe, yes, that helps. I wish they’d introduce build templates soon enough, though – too easy to make a mistake when changing one’s build.

In terms of damage, things look like they’re a bit better now. I’ve been hitting hard again recently, I don’t really understand what happened during the beta. I guess my awareness wasn’t at its peak then… Sorry for the confusion.
