My attack power started to change randomly during the maintenance that was taking place Wednesday (6-7-2023) afternoon/evening. I am now back on Thursday (6-8-2023) morning and it is still happening but worse than last night. I went to change some gear and my attack power said 602. I knew this wasnt right as my attack power was over 800 moments ago. After leaving the gear screen I went back in and it was 810 again. Also, anytime I change my gear, no matter what piece, my attack power begins counting down then counting up 1 level at a time. I am playing on a Ps5.

This might just be due to the skill that boost your attack power when you are standing still…

I thought about this as well. I noticed it also changes when picking up loot, using an attack just randomly in the open not on enemies, when attack different enemies, and depending on where I am. For example: In one city my attack power will be 623, I teleport then its 758, teleport again it was 810. This is without fighting any enemies and just teleporting from city to city. Just seems to constantly change randomly and makes it quite difficult when swapping out new gear.
You have the gear on you that boosts attack power standing still

That’s what it sounds like… you have an item on that increases your attack while standing still so naturally once you move the attack goes back down.
Please check your gear
My attack power counts up to the max every time I interact with my character sheet, an item, anything to do with my AP (my guess.) This HELLISH (not in a good way) new feature slows me down in an already LONG GRINDY game. This started within the last day or two.
Does Lilith run Blizzard and is she trying to ruin my online experience in sanctuary?
I paid top dollar to be in hell I guess.
Thx.
If you are a class with multiple weapon sets like barb it could be because you swap weapons, after whirlwinding my attack power is higher cause it uses my 2 handed slashing weapon, if i use my generator it uses my 2 swords wich makes my attack power go down because now im holding swords until i use whirlwind again.

This is happening to me also. Im NOT wearing gear or skills that change stats when standing still. This seems to be a bug. Also note, im on PC.

The Attack Power value displays the value for your last used/held weapon. For example if you are playing Rogue and use a bow skill, then check your character sheet it will show the attack power for that bow slot. If you then use a dagger/sword skill you will see the attack power change to reflect those weapons.
Makes it a nightmare to compare gear since there’s no nice way to change active weapons in town.

You are. Look again. Buffs and elixirs, shrines, other player skills, incense, aspects all will fluctuate your Attack power depending on which of those things is engaging and how many stacks.
It’s also not a nightmare to compare gear. DPS with the used weapon is what the attack power number is based off of, the affixes on the item apply all the time even if you don’t use it, just like every other slot.
This said it’s important to not what the weapon has for affixes… On a barb 170 strength is better than a weapon that’s 400 damage higher with 0 strength, you just have to know what affixes are and to roll on a given slot, and their relative power in actuality.
Attack power is good and it’s your base damage… but don’t equip something that gives you more attack power at the cost of bonus damage that’s applied to your attack power multiplicatively – just because it’s higher…

This also happens to me in town, in the middle of the world with no one around, the start or middle of a nightmare dungeon. I do not have the aspect that increases damage while standing still. It will drop down to about 6.3k and then shoot back up to 10k for no apparent reason. Screen shows 0 buffs. Playing sorc on PC. Also to note, as soon as i log in it is always at the 10k+ mark.

My friend is playing ww barb. He was using bleed ww with 11000 att power. He wanted to change to mace ww barb and when he changed his skill, his att power dropped to 5200. He logged out and log back in and it said 5800, he did it again and now it’s saying 6200. Funny thing is he is using exactly same item except chest armor (changed from harrogath to regular one with iron blood aspect (he kept bleed aspect in his weapon). He actually used this mace build before and his att power was 10500 dealing max 2.7m with out edgemaster. 3m+ with edgemaster, but today when he changed, his att power dropped like 40% and also his dmg dropped as well. He is maxing 1.3m. Same weapons, accessories, gears. When he takes blunge weapon off, his att power says 0.
Playing couch co-op on Xbox series x, and this happens to player 2 all the time. She’s playing a rogue, and attack power randomly goes up or down by about 1k. She doesn’t have anything equipped that should affect it at all - I’ve checked. This also happened to her pre-season with a sorcerer. It doesn’t seem to affect my druid or necro. I’ve seen the numbers actually randomly going up and down in real time, with no sense or pattern to it. I get that equipped weapons, aspects etc can affect it, but maybe there’s actually a bug here?
I would tend to agree with this being a bug. My characters end each day with a certain attack power and a certain armor number. The next morning I log in those numbers are invariably lower for those two key stats. This happens quite consistently and I carefully note any buffs or portions or equipment buffs when reading these numbers. There is something that is not quite right here and should be looked into. (imho)

I have noticed my druid drops in attack power also. I’m not around anyone or have items/gear that changes it at the time. When I join an individual my AP drops by 2k.
Im not wearing the inner calm aspect on my sorc. I took off my wand and focus both 925 items with attack power over 14k to try unique staff. Attack power dropped to 11k. Took off the staff. Attack power hits 0. Put back on my 925 wand and focus and attack power is now 11k. Closed down the game. Logged back in, still 11k. But i noticed my ticks are normal but wtf did 3k attack power go?! None of my other gear was changed. This has to be a bug because it happened to both of my buddies too and none of us wear aspects that increase attack while standing still. 2 sorcs, 1 barb. Ps5.
