Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this is a bug or some knows issue from game mechanic or whatever. But i didn’t find other forums fits my question. Tested it many times in different locations/ with and without gear.

Some time ago (like year or so) when i played game i’m sure i had some stats bigger than i have now.

As example: i remember i had crit. chance >53%.
Now when i’m back in game hero windows says i have 49%.
I decided reason is that some mechanic changed since i played last time so it’s not a big deal.

But one thing was funy: i have 17khp on skillbar and 16k in stats. That was weird.

Right now i linked game account API in 3rd-party service (gw2efficiency.com) and suddenly this service shows my stats bigger than in-game. Including 53% crit. chance that i remember for sure.

But again it shows 16k hp.

So question is: WHERE IS THE TRUTH?!
No, really, where are right numbers? And why hp bubble shows 17khp while both stats shows only 16k? I mean it’s API not some 3rd party calculator – it takes data from Anet, so there shouldn’t be any differences.

Attached screens made with same gear and traits (’cause some traits increase stats).
Also screen without gear (and with empty trait line) included.

17khp could come from WvW bonuses for your server. the rest I’m not sure, but the hp difference sounds like the WvW bonus. if you open the WvW panel you can see the bonuses your server has earned.

Thanks, one mystery is solved. +8% hp WvW bonus.

The wiki says the hero panel displays a slightly wrong %. Maybe gw2efficiency accounts for this.

Maybe. But you can see also differences in raw stats not only ones that depends on others like crit.chance.

All of this looks bit weird

Btw checked this stuff on another account – same thing. All stats slightly bigger for API then in game info.

You could try asking over in the API sub-forum; they may have more info.

Good luck.
