Full Version: Elemental Rave???

EDIT: See my post below for more accurate testing. The damage of the skill doesn't seem to change whether you use it on the ground or in the air. The only change is in the type of damage the strikes use. The numbers stay the exact same. The elemental impacts are also incorrect. Those only change the damage type as well, just to one element as opposed to splitting between ice fire lightning and wind. It leaves no cinder tile, doesn't lightning crit, etc.


So, either this skill is bugged or I just have a lot of confusion around it, but here goes:

Based on the in-game description, if you and your target are both airborne, the damage for Elemental Rave becomes magical, and is changed to use your elemental attack for each respective element it cycles through +10%. So as I understand, the damage would be 110% Fire Atk, 110% Ice atk, 110% Wind Atk, and 110% Lightning Atk. However, when you use Elemental Rave while airborne...

The damage is a flat amount for every element. Prinny died before lightning could proc, but the point stands, as I don't have even elemental attacks for those elements anyway.

Also to note, the skill says it's elemental impact compatible that the listed impacts are incorrect, which I assume just means the skill's damage type changes to whatever element you have active as opposed to cycling through. I say this because even while enchanted with Redgull, the skill doesn't critical hit, and it certainly doesn't leave cinders or ice sheets. It also isn't interacting with my lightning attack in any form.

If this is all intended behavior, then this is probably better off in suggestions, because the skill should be buffed/changed in some way so it isn't so lackluster.

Based on my reading of the ability, the damage doesn't change to solely use your elemental attack.  It uses the base formula, then tacks on 10% of the corresponding elemental attack to each iteration of damage.  Looking at your stat page, your Fire, Wind, Ice, and Lightning attack are all between 60-70, meaning that bonus would (I believe) always be rounded down to 6.  I'm assuming, because of that, you're seeing the same damage number on each tick of damage.
I actually did some more testing.

This is a before and after of my stats to test any interaction between Ele ATK and the skill.

As you can see I go from 21 lightning attack to 57.

OOC Rockstar's turn.
Prinny takes 36 Fire magical damage. (Elemental Rave / Belial)
Prinny takes 36 Ice magical damage. (Elemental Rave / Belial)
Prinny takes 36 Wind magical damage. (Elemental Rave / Belial)
Prinny takes 36 Lightning magical damage. (Elemental Rave / Belial)
Prinny takes 1 Slash magical damage. (Elemental Rave / Belial)
OOC Rockstar's turn.

However my damage remained this both times I tested the skill. Furthermore,

Prinny takes 36 Slash physical damage. (Elemental Rave / Belial)
Prinny takes 36 Slash physical damage. (Elemental Rave / Belial)
Prinny takes 36 Slash physical damage. (Elemental Rave / Belial)
Prinny takes 36 Slash physical damage. (Elemental Rave / Belial)
Prinny takes 1 Slash physical damage. (Elemental Rave / Belial)
OOC Rockstar's turn.

Testing the skill while grounded produces the -exact- same damage, just slash. So it doesn't look like going airborne does anything except change the damage from slash physical to elemental magical. Other than that the damage is the same, regardless of how I manipulate my elemental attack, in the air or on the ground.
You can trigger the elemental damage by having yourself and the target be airborne. To get the damage bonus, you need to be in Reaver stance and have Bonus Bloodshed. The elemental impact only changes the damage types to a single element - the bonus damage is still calculated from all four.

Please double check and make sure you are in Reaver stance and have Bonus Bloodshed, otherwise you won't get any damage difference.
