Guild Wars 2

this could be rare bug which is only happens to me..but since the game has scaling system it might happen to others but they did not notice because usually people wont open their character screen in middle of playing..any ways here is the bug:
in level 80 maps like silver waste when i use my foods i have 89% critical chance..but all of the sudden my critical chance drops from 89% to 80% or 82% or 87%..basically drops for no reason to a random number between 80% to 87%.
…it is not the food issue i have tried different foods with 70 precision boost and still got same bug.
..it happens randomly in level 80 maps but there is high chance that it is also dropping in lower maps but i did not notice..i only noticed the level 80 bug.
now there is annoying way to solve this:
if i leave the map i was in like silver waste and go back inside..this will solve my critical chance bug and it will go back to 89% as it should be..although there is still chance that bug might happen again.
but this is an annoying issue particularly if you are in good SW map and can not get back in because of full map thing.
this is obviously a bug since leaving the map will fix it temporarily.
please fix it ANET.

Are you a warrior with the deep strikes trait? I assumed that bug was fixed at some point, and don’t even remember what caused the game to lose count of how many signets you have active, but 1 signet is worth just under 2% crit chance at level 80, which matches the range you have seen. It also was definitely fixed any time you change maps. Since you gave absolutely no information about your build, that is a perfect match with the details you have provided.

If that is the source of your problem, then there is no need to change maps. Casting your signets so that they are all on cooldown at the same time should reset it, as you obviously cannot have -1 signets active.

If it is not the source of your problem, I recommend explaining how you are getting 89% crit chance so that each component can be checked for similar issues.

There are quite a few game mechanics that can alter precision on the fly, so the first step to ID’ing/reproducing a potential bug is to rule out any normal/intended causes.

You didn’t mention which class, but some do have traits that effect precision. Other players can also increase your precision with traits that effect allies or skills like banners.

Being in/out of combat will effect some, like ranger’s Spotter trait. Spotter also effects other players.

Guardian has a trait that converts toughness to precision, which could be increased by other players’ nearby using traits/skills that increase your toughness.

Warrior has a trait that gives precision for signets, provided they’ve not been activated and are on cooldown.

Weapon swapping could alter it as well, if all weapons aren’t the same stat and tier. A weapon set using an accuracy sigil would increase precision while that set is active.

thanks for help dude..yes i am warrior with full signets setup..good to know there is a way to solve the scaling bug without leaving map..but non the less it is an annoying issue and force you to check your character screen and active your signets.
it is a BUG non the less and anet must solve it.
