Igneous Weapon and companions

adamsmith42

I've only tested on Ember and Azandar, cause those are the two I have unlocked on this DK, but casting Igneous Weapons is turning the entire character model firey for companions instead of just the weapons? Is this working as intended?

Yes, this happens to me with Bastian, Ember, and Sharp. Have not checked any other companions, but presumably it will be the same.

It's pretty funny but I would certainly prefer it applied only to weapons as for a player. Can't imagine this was intended. Probably a minor bug due to the code treating companions as closer to a combat object than a player?

Before only Minor Buffs affected companions, things were changed in Update40 to exclude pets like the Clannfear and Bear from group buffs while including companions as valid targets for Major Buffs such as Frost Cloak and Molten Weapon, I assume sets that grant group buffs also affect them too. My guess this is intentional as players do sometimes use companions as filler replacement party members for group dungeons, trials, and arena; why shouldn't they also get those buffs to aid them.

Now when you cast Molten Weapons they not only get 10% increased damage from Minor Brutality, they get an additional 20% from Major Brutality as well and their damage reflects that change. The On-Fire is normal as it affects your weapons as a player, companions count as a whole not just their weapons so their entire sprite is the attachment point.

It'll happen with all Companions. That also happens when Basti himself casts his version of Igneous - he'll get all fiery to bless your weapons.
