Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

Hi all, I want to let you know that we are aware of this and are looking into it--I will give you an update as I am able.

I can explain this in more detail to help clarify what it means and why it works this way:: Essentially every skill in the game has a weapon strength value that's used in the damage calculation. For most skills, it's pretty straightforward: Rifle skills use rifle weapon strength, for example. However, for some profession skills (like certain f1-f5 skills) they would just use the weapon strength of whatever weapon was equipped at the time. If you had a staff equipped, your profession skill would use staff weapon strength, but if you had an axe equipped it would use the axe weapon strength, which is lower. We made the change so that these cases would use a consistent value for weapon strength instead of dealing a different amount of damage depending on your equipped weapon.

A quick update on this: We've found the issue and are beginning work on a fix.

Confirming that both of these sales are now live! I'll share your thanks with my wonderful colleagues who worked to make this happen!

We are looking into this--sorry it's happening!

This sale is now live and will run until December 1.

I've been looking into this as well and added an update to the announcement thread I linked earlier.
