Powerful Assault set

Planchard

Sometimes in order for this buff to be applied, 1 pc of the set needs to be unequipped and reequipped to work again. I think if you die, it will also make it work again.

It's happened to me twice so far since I've been using it over the 15+ hours I've had it. First time is when I tried reequipping the armor and that worked. The second time it happened, I was stuck in combat so when I finally died, I tested it out and the powerful assault buff was being applied.

Has anyone else had issues with this set?

Been using this set since day one and have never experienced this. The only time I noticed the buff not being applied was last night when I bought a V16 Shieldbreaker leg, upgraded, enchanted and equipped it and noticed an hour later my mistake ) =

Which pieces of the set are you using? I'm using Head,Leg, Belt, Boot, and glove.

Does the proc of this set affect the caster as well?

Planchard

I use helm, belt, legs, gloves and chest for my pieces. I first thought that FTC wasn't tracking the buff but I was looking at my weapon damage after i casted Rapids and my weapon damage stayed the same. I spammed Vigor and Rapids to try to get it to proc but only when I removed a piece of equipment was I able to get the buff.

The proc does affect the caster but I don't know if that counts as one of the 4 people that get the buff. If there's ever more than 4 people in my group, I'll just rapids then vigor before we bomb a group to buff up everyone.

Yes, the caster gets the buff as well. I'm not sure yet whether it will affect 3 or 4 other members, but it chooses the nearest people to you and doesn't prioritize your group from my experience.

You can tell when you have the buff by the obvious huge red glow on your weapon. I've never got that animation without listing the powerful assault buff in my character screen with the associated weapon damage.

Perhaps it is bugged with maneuvers or the chest? I only have used it with Vigor thus far.

/bug and report it.

Side note I am surprise no one has cried about this set but every sorc is flipping tables over shield breaker. "when using a assault skill give 4 near by allies X bosot to weapon damage" VS " light and heavy attacks deal X extra damage to damage shields". Which you think players are gonna drop the 5,000 TV stones on.

Whichever set is FOTM because math is hard.

How about they'll use whichever set they want, and fits their play style.

Stop being so cynical.

It would help if they released sets that weren't broken.

If everyone just went by the game's tooltips and never looked into any numbers, we'd be playing a very different (even more broken) game.

Please show me the player with the preferred playstyle of light attacking people to death. I think I could create a bot to play for me by doing that.

I did put in a bug report about the 2nd time I encountered it. I also noticed that sometimes I will receive the weapon damage boost but the orange glowing hands aren't displayed.

I'm also using the gold VR16 version of this and not the VR15 version.

Yeah mine is all legendary VR16 now as well (used a legendary V15 set from day 1). I've been watching for this being bugged and still haven't experienced it. I notice the glowy weapon graphic sometimes doesn't happen but I think that has to do with it not being able to overwrite the short weapon enchant animation that displays when you pull out your weapons.

Are you having this issue with retreating manuevers? That is the only real difference I can think of, I only use maneuvers on my horse and I've noticed some new issues in 2.1 with maneuvers not casting correctly.
