Good Afternoon
When I logged in yesterday after the Heart of Fire release I found that the Damage on my Guardian Fighter has dropped significantly. More that it should have considering the patch notes don't reference a direct nerf to damaging abilities. I have talked with other Guardian Fighter mains and found that they have experienced the same issue. I felt that this may need to be reported any info as well would be appreciated.

-SWW is 'correctly' fixed to 4% damage per stack. This is a global 20% (or 4% per stack) DPS decrease compared to Mod 14 and prior.
-SWW also currently has a bug with a placebo stack, as the first stack accumulated doesn't actually confer a damage bonus. So if I shielded 5 hits and my buffbar has 5 stacks, I actually only have the equivalent of 4 stacks' worth of damage bonus.
-This bug... I'll leave this bug report I did in November. I would assume that the devs haven't had any time to fix it due to holiday parties or are busy doing things for whatever the module has. Effectively, this ends up being a 20% DPS decrease on Griffon's Wrath.

I have not seen any other evidence otherwise for the reason GF damage was lowered. I tried KC, but it is correctly yielding a 2.0x (2.1x with feat) damage multiplier on dummies (maybe there's a bug on bosses?). I checked Griffon's Wrath base damage last Saturday and it had the same as base damage values observed in Mod 14 and prior (going as far back as Mod 9 or 10).
