When is this “bug” going to get fixed. I have played a lot of hours to get the best character I can, but now it is a shadow of what it was. I am, to say the least, disappointed it has not been fixed yet!
This isn’t a bug and is how the language has worked always.
Weapon Technique does not count as having that Weapon Equipped for Paragon Glyphs, Aspects, or Skills. You have to have it bound to your Skill as your Arsenal Weapon and the Bonus will only apply while that Arsenal Weapon is active.
If you use a Skill with 2H Bludgeoning assigned to it then use say, Frenzy which only allows 1H Weapons to be Assigned, it will switch to 1H Weapons until you use the Skill bound to 2H Bludgeoning.
Walloping clearly states SKILLS USING A 2H BLUDGEONING WEAPON. This means Skills that have a 2H Bludgeoning Weapon assigned. Please note that Skills that do not allow for an Arsenal Weapon to be Assigned will use the last Arsenal Weapon Assigned. Using HoTA followed by Steelgrasp and Ground Stomp would use 2H Bludgeoning for all. Using HoTA followed by Frenzy then Steelgrasp and Ground Stomp would use 2H Bludgeoning, then 1H Dual Wield for both Steelgrasp and Ground Stomp.
Technique gives you the Expertise Bonus like you have the Weapon equipped, but does not count as having it bound to the Skill.
