Guild Wars 2

Personal Story>The Battle for Claw Island>Magic Sucks Instance

I’ve done this instance for the story line before, and the “test weapon” Vacuumagic Polarizer worked well on the Orrian test subjects. Having just done this instance, the test weapon barely damages the test subjects. I repeatedly just dropped the weapon and killed the Orrian’s with my character’s regular skills.

It’s not progress breaking, since I could complete the instance. However, I couldn’t find a “Personal Story” category in the bug report system anymore, so I’m making a “FYI” post here. Something has definitely changed the damage output of the test weapon, or the Orrian test creatures’ toughness. The weapon doesn’t seem to build up the charges as described, and when it does have a charge, that seems to not do much damage, nor do the Orrians seem to have any “poison” or DOT.

It’s not game breaking but the weapon is pretty much useless, which does ruin the story for new folks.
