When base stats were announced to be increased to 1000 across the board (other than vit, of course), I’m sure we expected the scaling and calculations to remain teh same.

However, Precision calculation has changed. I noticed that my after patch stats had a much lower critical chance than expected- lower than before patch, despite having more precision!

I did some math, and it looks like precision calculation has changed from (precision – 824)/21 = crit chance to (precision – 916)/21 = crit chance.

This means that despite the increase from 916 to 1000 precision, base precision has remained 4%.

The extra 84 precision, or 4% crit chance, has just vanished into the aether, resulting in lower critical hit chances after patch than before, despite having higher precision.

Is this intentional?

on my engineer, I now have more precision and lower crit chance (saved before screenshots with and without traits). Also, while I didnt look into this myself, a guildie said that he has multiple characters of different classes in full ascended zerker gear (so should be same precision) but different white (no bonuses) crit chances. Again, didnt look into this myself, so some other verification/refutation would be good.

Yeah im hoping this is a bug. Or a change they will reconsider. I have lost 2% crit chance despite having more precision than before the patch.

Or at the very least can we have a reason for why it was changed.

Bump. Because clarification would be nice at least. If Precision was supposed to be less effective than it is now, that’s okay. But notes are always a beloved thing!

Ditto. I dont mind if the calc changed but I’d like to know if its legit or a bug.

It seems like a bug or programming accident to me. My logic is that we didn’t gain extra stats overall, we just got the traitline stats rolled into baseline/armor, so it wouldnt make sense to change the formula.

Well, they clearly number-slipped on burns, so precision might be affected just all the same! Bumpedy bump!

I hope this is a bug and will be fixed. If not some clarification on the subject is in order.

If here they fall they shall live on when ever you cry “For Ascalon!”

Bump.

Was having 8% base crit chance really too overpowered? 8% is what we would have if the old formula still applied.

morning bump on this one. just looking for a clarification even if its not a bug so we can work out the new formula.

Still waiting for feedback from ANet on if this is a mistake, or a change in calculations. I’m still pretty sure this is a bug, because I feel like this would have been mentioned in the patch notes if not.

Has anyone heard anything about this?

There has been no post on the forum by a dev regarding this. While the calculation appears to have been changed only to exclude the ‘bonus’ precision they were giving from going to a 1k base, I lost a lot of crit chance after the patch compared to what I had before.

This really needs exposure to the community to be honest. Its such a huge change but most people arent aware of it.
