Bard Power % dependent on previous loadout

rikitaki

This is a report about a weird behavior of the Power % on the stat sheet on my bard with 3 loadouts (2xDPS, 1 heal).

If I log into the map on DPS 1 loadout, my power is at 89,2 % (42,7 rating; 46,5 other)
If I switch into DPS 1 loadout from the healing one, my power stabilizes at 82,2 % (42 ratings, 40,2 other)
If I switch into DPS 1 loadout from the DPS 2, my power stabilizes at 86,2 % (42 ratings, 44,2 other)

Please note, it takes a while to stabilize too. Numbers taken in an empty instance, so no interference from other players. Reliably reproducible.

Don't know if it is depends on previous load out, but it seems that by switching to another load out, power % from boons, companions etc. is not calculated.

For example:
I have a lowbee human bard, switching from songblade to minstrel gives me power % from other contribution of 1%. This is from being human. If I logout and login again, it shows 10,5% for other contribution. (boons 4%, human 1% and companion 5,5%)

Swithing back to song blade, it will miss 9,5% power (logout and login again, will show the correct amount)

It seems that power % from forte is calculated correctly. Still on the minstrel it has a visual bug as it says it improves power which iirc is not true for healers (but not sure). If it is power for minstrel then forte is never calculated as power % on said minstrel.

Also master boon "Blessed advantage" is not calculated at al. In the example of my lowboy bard, it should give an extra of 4% power (2 points), it never showed in the character sheet.

This bug can be reproduced and als reported to CS.

It also doesn't load companion bonuses when you switch. In Northdark on two occasions I switched from healer to dps loadouts and failed to get bonus currency from Dark Dealings power (campaign boost) despite it being slotted on the dps loadout when I turned in the quest. This is in addition to getting dismounted and having pets die when you switch to healer.

Changing instances, maps or going to character select causes the game to recalculate everything properly but it isn't always feasible.
