Heavy Weapons passive not working?

According to the tooltip, swords increase your weapon and spell damage by 284. However, when I bar swap from a greataxe or maul to a greatsword, the weapon damage value on my character sheet does not change. Other values, such as penetration change, but not weapon damage.


Why?

    It's working fine for me. Without more info, do you happen to use a different set with the weapon swap or have passives like "Sorcerer's Expert Mage" offsetting the difference that happens to be the same or similar value increase?

    Yes they are the same set (Maelstrom), and yes I have Sorcerer skills slotted. But if there is no cap on weapon damage, why would other sources of it negate weapon passives?

    Post what skills you have on each bar and the weapon you have with it.

    The idea is not that anything would be negated but rather that something only active on the opposite bar from the greatsword might be boosting your weapon damage there, making both bars appear equal in WD but for different reasons. In such an example, a Sorc skill on the non-greatsword bar could be boosting weapon damage on that bar, and then when you swap you would be losing the Sorc passive but gaining the greatsword weapon passive, making it appear that the weapon is not adding damage when it actually is but has to make up for the loss of the bonus provided by the Sorc skill on the opposite bar.

    That’s why a list of your bar setups might help us understand what’s going on.

    Alternatively, if you either remove all your skills or have the exact same skills on both bars, that should remove the variable from the situation.
