"The Master's Perfected Bow" sets effect is not activated(Solved)

master_vanargand · May 2

"The Master's Perfected Bow" sets effect is not activated.
Poison Arrow, Poison Injection, and Venom Arrow did not activate "Increases your Weapon and Spell Damage by 330 against targets affected by your Poison Arrow."
Please fix this bug as soon as possible.

because the effect is tied specifically to targets effected, it wont actually show an increase in your weapon and spell dmg, but it should still apply during the dmg calculation when hitting the enemy

I understand that.
Tested it on a target skeleton in the home and it doesn't increase damage.
Try it yourself.

This is true and this is a bug.

It's a feature.

I know it doesn't show up on the character's status in the menu.
I've been using this set for over 5 years so I know all about it.
In the past I could confirm a damage increase of about 6%. But now it's 0%.

Before you assume I'm ignorant, test it for yourself and see for yourself.

About an 8.7% increase (value will of course depend based on other circumstances). I'd unequipped all gear and my frontbar only had a level 1 Maple inferno staff in both cases.

Anyway, the damage increase is working fine. You need to retest whatever you did.

I tested it again.
I think there is a bug in Light Attack.
If I test it with spam skill, it works fine, but Light Attack is weird.
hmm...

light/heavy attacks do have a hard cap on how much weapon/spell dmg they benefit from, i dont remember exactly what it is but it was changed this way sometime in the past year or so

Light attacks are capped at 3850 base damage for melee, and 90% of that (3465) for ranged weapons.

That’s a cap on how much they can scale from max resources and weapon/spell damage, before the application of crit damage and multipliers like Master at Arms and Deadly Aim, the Slayers, the Berserks, etc.

And Stagger adds a flat value that is exempt from that cap, which is why you can see values in the several hundreds for light attacks when wearing Velothi.

ETA: yes, this changed was implemented 13 months ago, with Scribes of Fate:

I see, so that's what it was.
It was my mistake. I'm sorry.
