Ascended Giver's

Thanks for adding Ascended Giver's items. Is it intentional that the ascended weapons have different stats than exotic? Right now the exotics give precision, vitality, and expertise. The ascended gives toughness, healing power, and concentration.

~~It's always been like that. There is another combo available that does give expertise though.~~

My bad. Didn't see ascended. Yeah I don't get that. Maybe that was meant to be Bringer's and it got mixed up. At any rate, Ascended Bringer's inscription looks like it has giver weapon stats.

Givers weapons have always been vitality precision (expertise): armor has always been boon duration.

Yes, and before today Ascended versions were not available. Today the ascended armor **and** weapons are toughness, healing power, and concentration, not just the armor.

Then that would be an error, IMO.

It's the only primary expertise weapon, so it's nice to have as an option.

ANet added a new Bringer's stat with this update, which uses the Toughness/Healing/Concentration stats. Giver's is now Expertise/Vitality/Precision. They split the two stats for Exotic and Ascended, but they left the lower tiers with the old system, whereby the weapons used Giver's stats while the armors used Bringer's stats, despite both of them being called Giver's.
