Igneous weapons not granting major sorcery after today's patch.

Just downloaded the patch and TG. Noticed that igneous weapons is only granting major brutality, but not major sorcery as the tool tip indicates.

Major Sorcery does not show up in the character sheet because the Igneous Weapons buff itself is the Major Sorcery buff, so you will only see Major Brutality and Igneous Weapons on your active effects. If you take a look at your Weapon and Spell damage on the character sheet, you should see that both stats are increased.

That's a bit... inconsistent? Surely if the buff is called Major Sorcery, that's what should be shown on the Active Effects. Igneous Weapons is the name of the ability you cast, not the name of the buff that's actively affecting your character.

Active Effects should also be showing what the buff actually does, for every buff, not just the buff name like you see for many of them.

The buff isn't 'smart' either. If you have 7 people in a group, it's random in terms of who is assigned the buff. The buff will be reapplied to people that already have it if the skill is recast, rather than go to people in your group who don't have the buff. I have strong suspicions that purge works this way as well, which is borderline broken for the skill, but since I don't plan to play ESO once CU beta is out I haven't cared enough to test this in the broken mess that Wrobel turned pvp into.
