So am I stupid/bad at math, or...

The Avenger's Longsword isn't an AP gain over the Pathfinder's Shiv?

Let me break down the stats, and then I'll give you screenies.

Avenger's Longsword

37 Str
26 Dex
39 End
21 AP
38 Hit
41 Valor
15 Veng

Pathfinder's Shiv

40 Dex
26 Str
36 End
31 Crit
38 Hit
41 Valor
15 Veng

So.. There's a 1.5 loss in AP from the downgrade in dex/str total, and there's a 21 AP gain from the Avenger's Longsword... Right? Doesn't look like it.

This is with the shiv: http://i.imgur.com/7M82h.png
This is without the shiv: http://i.imgur.com/XDapU.png

A few side notes: The runes I have on my shivs are +19 crit runes, and the sword is unruned, so that can't be the issue.
Another thing that's a little mind boggling is I should also be gaining a bunch of AP from having the sword equipped, because I've filled out the fire PA.

So unless I'm blind, stupid, or bad at math, it seems like the sword is completely borked.

Yeah, that looks bugged.

Did you have the lightning glyph applied to the shiv and not the sword?

No, I only use whetstones.

[Valnak]

What's your spec?

Reset to 0/0/0 if you haven't already.

Preferably get on the PTS and reset PA + soul.

There's something happenin' here....and what it is aint exactly clear.

I'm guessing some or all of the R50 Rogue weapons aren't gaining PA benefits.

Only this thread and the rifle thread to suggest that, but it's a possibility.

For What It's Worth, I was just having fun with an old Buffalo Springfield song.

I was right, I'm just stupid. I went to go test on the PTS like Val suggested.

On live, I have more points invested in dagger PAs than I do in sword PAs, and I didn't realize that if you had two daggers, the AP gain from PA is increased twice--I thought you needed two different types of weapons, because they would overwrite each other.

Also, as far as I can tell on the PTS, AP is increasing with PVP weapons completely as intended, so unless the issue Defiant-specific, then the other thread about borked itemization is fine.


So, yeah, I derped.

hmm ok so i have more in axe PA then i do in daggers atm, i start with 2 daggers equiped, 1 that is random GSB dagger and 1 that is R50 dagger, i swap the GSB dagger for a R50 axe and i lose 10 AP, even though the axe is a 1str 2 dex and 30 dex from glyph increase....
