For some reason, my volcanic wont trigger on my burngada. The fireballs don't happen with I crit, no matter what.

So with the invention of GR 2 now we can safely say guns aren't gonna be a problem with certain on hits, can we now allow elemental augment to properly deal damage with guns?

Steps to reproduce:

1: Have two weapons and/or the Special Attack 1 trait
2: Drag all of your attack actions to the hotbar
3: Try to use each button of the hotbar
4: Observe the results
5: Finish the battle and start a new one
6: Try to use each attack button again
7: Observe the results

I've yet to find consistent results, but very often special attacks will become mixed up, usually making each of the buttons on the bar activate the same action. This was tested with the bow special attack "skyshot", where the normal attack button dragged to the hotbar would always make me use skyshot. But the axe special attack did not seem to get mixed up with the normal attack

Steps to reproduce:

1: Open someone's profile which has a background music set. One you have not opened this session
2: Close the profile window immediately


Usually, the profile music will begin playing as long as it hadn't yet loaded before the window was closed. To make it stop, you need to open a new profile.

There is also a strange interaction with the mute button. Sometimes, muting the music before it fully loaded will make it start playing after closing the window.

This bug is quite old but I've not found any recent topics about it, so I'm making this one

Southern wind is saying it grants 4, 7, and 10 evade by rank but in battle before doubling but instead in battle my readout is telling me 7 at max with no south bonus and 14 with the south bonus.

Quote:Know No Pain

Rank 1 - 5% + (Scaled SKI/2) + (Scaled DEF/2)% chance to parry martial weapons (-20% damage). Grants bonus Rage Energy equal to 50% of the reduced damage.
Rank 2 - 10% + (Scaled SKI/2) + (Scaled DEF/2)% chance to parry martial weapons (-30% damage). Grants bonus Rage Energy equal to 75% of the reduced damage.
Rank 3 - 15% + (Scaled SKI/2) + (Scaled DEF/2)% chance to parry martial weapons (-40% damage). Grants bonus Rage Energy equal to 100% of the reduced damage.

Quote:Retaliate

If Rage Energy is at 200 or more:
- Ignores Evasion.
- Knocks the enemy back by 1 tile per 50 Rage Energy used, ignoring Knockback immunity.

Quote:Bullet Barrier

Rank 1 - 10% + Scaled LUC% chance to deflect ranged basic attacks, while lowering own Gun's durability by 8.
Rank 2 - 20% + Scaled LUC% chance to deflect ranged basic attacks, while lowering own Gun's durability by 4.

Quote:Snake Dancer

Rank 1 - On evade, steps to a random direction and grants Sonic Speed LV15 for 2 rounds.
Rank 2 - On evade, steps to a random direction and grants Sonic Speed LV15 for 4 rounds.

So. Testing for this is light, but I've noticed certain skills doing way more damage than they should.

In this instance, I focused and tested Mad Chop, but I have heard similar feelings about Ether Invitation and so on.

Mad Chop is doing way more damage than it should.

The testers in this situation are bog-standard and don't have any particular damage modifiers/ways to take or deal increased damage. The one with Mad Chop has 138 base SWA and gets Battle Rush to bump it up to 143.



Mad Chop is at rank 5 and thus does 120% of 143 SWA. He's at full HP,



so Mad Chop should be doing 171 damage before DR. Nothing else should affect damage.



Yet the end result is much higher.



One thing to note there is the 255.9 initial damage. What. How. 

A theory I initially had is that the SWA multiplier is applied multiple times, but I don't think this is entirely the case. Either way, something is up, and if Ether Invitation is iffy as people tell me it is, I would wager it has something to do with missing HP being a factor in end damage. Debug logs have no insight into this beyond sudden increase in damage.

Its been a good couple of weeks since the 2.49 version dropped onto Live and now that a decent portion of the builds have been developed and put into practice, let me just explain a lot of my frustrations and concerns I've had since all the changes dropped onto the test server.

I would very much like to make it clear that 2.49 has brought us a lot of beneficial changes as well, infact a majority of the update I am all a fan for, those being things like:

The Actual Numbers

It feels weird to say, but the reason why Evade is weak, is because its simply too good. Because the counter-play to Evade is to stack hit as high as possible to reliably move past it, evade builds end up feeling weak because the counter-play is available to so many more builds now, practically everyone can stack hit, with blessed, Guile and various other easy-to-obtain hit mods being available to them on a whim, the best builds are just removing some of their other stats in favor of these ones. Granted this has taken down some defensive builds, but not all of them, leaving the best ones untouched.

Lets put one of my builds into light, a Verglas who, as a papilion, is allowed absurd SKI investment, but 60 scaled is not unreachable to other races either.



To note, they are using a blessed weapon, so they're gaining 25 hit from blessed + divine sign, 10 hit for their fist from Trained fists, and up to 20 hit from FAO, the result?



296% hit is my maximum, since flanking bonus ignores the cap but chivalry does not I'm showing my hit from the back here, this is a REALLY high number for this new system, like not a lot of people are getting this much easily, but its still there for those who scale from FAI (Such as FP intensive classes like MAs or summoners would be)

Putting another thing into view, this is evade as a comparison when I am fully stacked, Unarmored Body for +10, FAO +20, Hare Stance for +30, 26 evade torso.



Evade doesn't even come remotely close to the bonuses you can get for hit. 

Buffs and Debuffs should both cap at 50.

I don't really need to say much on this beyond how unfair it is to only have one single defensive option and then have it razed to the ground because your so hard-earned Evade is headbutted like the poor victim of a ram in heat. The same goes on the opposite side.

Plus, many people who are not following the changes do assume the debuffs are capped, so it kind of helps with the general understanding anyway, while making things more fair on both sides of the spectrum, as much as I'd vouch for the maximum 'self-benefits' one should ever be able to grasp is 75 total. (Buffing self for 50, then debuffing the enemy for 25.), solely because 50 then 50 is just 100, which means 'no chance'.

Tad unbalanced, in my opinion, but so be it. I don't think it needs to be so complicated.

Bellringers are now too strong given they can fully ignore evasion, and on top of that, hit all enemies like a truck.

Surprising to put up a thread on something that's not PvP but, can Crippling Tone gain a 3 round cooldown for how hard it tends to shatter any unprepared team/dodge-only team? Due to Haunted Manors, they're no longer a 'gimmick' monster anymore. They're a part of your everyday life, that can fuck you up if spawned by a Necromancer boss.
