Guild Wars 2

I’m fairly new to the game and had to take a break for a little over a week. I came back today during the event, patched up and my warrior’s crit chance has dropped by about 10%.

I’m also fairly certain the tooltip for Deep Strike changed but I don’t see anything in the patch notes about it. It’s also behaving weirdly, maybe intended. Healing Signet drops precision by 10 but Signet of Fury drops it by about 40 when used.

Did I miss something else? Am I crazy and created this all in my head? Appreciate any info.

Dunno if the Tooltip reflects that but Deep Strike scales with level, if you’re not level 80 you get less than 40 Precision per unused Signet. Also Signet of Fury’s passive is to increase Precision, if you use it you lose the Precision of Deep Strike and the Precision of the Signet itself.

I had a similar issue but when I did a relog it was gone. Although I was missing about 4% crit chance.
I think it was because i was on an overflow of LA.

Ah ok, thanks, never really made the connection with SoF as I was testing quickly

Any idea why my passive crit dropped about 10% though? I was sitting at around 95% base before I last played.

Deep Strikes is bugged. The trait dont give me any precision with unused signets.

It’s either bugged and doesn’t work, or it only applies the benefit when in combat. I’m at work so I can’t test it but it’s pretty easy to test.

You wont get any precision in combat, too. Tested it already.

It works fine for me now.

Is this a recent development in the last two patches? I doubt I would be able to get to 95% crit at level 28 (pre-break) if it didn’t work

It doesn’t recalculate your precision when you activate Deep Strike. If you already have signets equipped, you won’t get the bonus precision right away. You have to unslot, then reslot all your signets before they’ll count. Zoning will also make the bonus precision appear.

sometimes using your signets will cause the bonus prec to appear when they come off CD. It worked for healing sig, when it was bugged in sPvP
