Guild Wars 2

This has happened a few times in the last couple weeks. It does not occur with every death. The 2 may or may not related. It might be related to changing armor (removing before death and re-equipping) while dead.

1. Upon respawn after death, a full set of 6 soldier runes will not remove a condition with a shout. This has occurred 3 times for sure that I know of. Removing a soldier rune armor piece and re-equipping seems to fix. Note, that either it works 100% or not at all.

2. Some Agony Resistance is being lost after a death. Most of the people I play with have 55 AR, and it has happened many (10+) times in the last couple weeks to both myself and others in my party. Typically in these cases, our AR goes down 10 to 45. This can be devastating to the individual when fighting the maw. This is not a situation of the backpiece being damage/broken. Many times it has no damage. Removing and re-equipping all armor/trinkets/backpiece/weapons sometimes fixes and sometimes doesn’t fix the problem.

Remember that you only get the 10 AR from the weapon when it’s your active one. If you switch the weaponset (maybe even bundle), you “lose” those points.

Yes, I’m using full ascended/legendaries

I haven’t noticed the shout bit occur in the last while.

The AR loss still occurs regularly. I’m fairly convinced that it happens when people change gear while dead. This is usually discovered by people in the boss fractals when the unavoidable agony is triggered.

yeah this happened to me at lvl 49. as you can imagine it was basically a 4 man vs boss ending. not fair to me or my team. plz fix asap. i didnt even switch gear. something happened when i died….or was downed. i lost AR for osme reason. i have 55 AR. no reason for me to be taking 3k+ per hit of agony

Funny observation…

While you are in the down state or carrying any bundle(reflectors, control rods, etc…) you are in fact: not wielding your weapon.

If you depend on the AR on your weapon, be aware that there are times where you are weaponless
