Guild Wars 2

So I have been working around with various traits and weapon builds and what not, come to find that about half of the traits don’t even do anything.

I would love to get in depth with screenshots and videos and what not, but I fear that this will just be over looked and shunned away, and I would have just wasted my time.

Has anyone else been encountering similar issues?

Stronger Bowstrings adds Burning to Arcing Arrow but really doesn’t.

I noticed Forcefull Greatsword not granting might stacks on Spear Criticals, I /bug reported it and the next patch it was fixed.

Stronger Bowstrings is just a weird kitten trait
States it only increases range, does that indeed, except for the lb burst skill. Also makes lb 1 and 2 100% finishers. Also causes Arcing Arrow to inflict burning according to the description of that move; in practice however it doesn’t change AA.
Edit: also changes the description of the Smoldering Arrows attack to something incorrect XD. Silly Anet.
And what’s up with the Burning Arrows trait. Conditional +10% damage, whereas GS gets an unconditional +10% damage trait (Slashing Power). Conditional should mean greater benefit, but nah.
