Guild Wars 2

It would appear that of all the Soldier’s items in the game (rare/yellow name), the single handed axes are the only items that have had their Vitality replaced/changed into Critical Damage. I am almost positive that my axe (and all the others) had the same status types as all of the other Soldier’s items on the Trading Post when I purchased it. Perhaps one of the recent updates has broken them?

If I am incorrect and this item is not supposed to have Vitality, then the name should be changed to avoid confusion with other Soldier items.

Thank you for your time.

It looks like someone accidentally put Cavelier’s stats on Soldier’s for the axes. The Cavalier’s axes still have the correct stats.

I also had already purchased a full set of level 80 “Strong” weapons. Again, the axe was the only piece that has Critical Damage on it. I can see making a mistake once, but twice, that’s…co-incidence?

Something I have noticed, the Strong armors do have differences. Perhaps the weapons were meant to as well? But even so, why did ones I had already purchased get changed from what they were? This will cause me to rethink my warrior’s strategy. For my ranger, this will completely alter his play style if I have to choose a different weapon.
