Mountain's Blessing bugged?

PeggymoeXD

So whenever I craft new gear for my stamina DK, I hit Rally + an Earthen Heart ability to determine my buffed weapon damage. Mountain's Blessing is a DK passive in the Earthen Heart ability that increases yours and ally's damage by 5% for 20 seconds after casted, and recently it hasn't been doing anything. I used to be able to look at my character sheet after casting and see the difference in damage, but now, Rally is the only buff that shows up. I'm wondering if ZOS ninja changed, or broke the passive to either not show up on the tooltip anymore, or if it just straight up doesn't do anything now.

It only works if you are in fight when you use it.

This isn't about the ultimate gain. I'm aware that in combat, using an Earthen Heart ability will also grant you 3 ultimate when casted. I'm talking about the 5% weapon damage that has always been there, in or out of combat. I've been using this same method of determining my total damage for almost a year now, I'm just wondering why it changed.

I just checked it 5min ago and I get increased weapon damage if I activate an earthen heart skill in fight while my weapon damage stays the same when I use it out of combat.

I really hope that is a bug and not intentional.

It isn't a bug.... the passive works while in combat as intended.

It was only like this recently and I don't remember seeing this change in the patch notes. Imagine if major brutality only applied when using rally in combat. People would be very upset about that.

Everybody keeps saying this, but several players and myself have tested this. My weapon damage does not change. Something about the passive has changed

Assuming you know that you may only have two buffs like that active at one time, Minor/Major. Check to make sure nothing is overlapping.

I'm certain there isn't another minor brutality being applied. I also believe that passive is the only thing that can provide minor brutality.

Just took a look through past patch notes and saw that in 2.0.9, they "fixed" mountains blessing because it wasn't generating ultimate like it was supposed to, but nothing about minor brutality being only applied in combat. Pretty sure they broke it.

Doubtful. Mine works as intended mate.

Arcanasx

And mine and many others doesn't so yes it is broken for some people.

It works for some, but doesn't work for others? What?
