Please fix this..

Many people including myself have made videos showing how projectiles are now by passing reflective scales even though the ability is active and it hasn't capped off yet.
I made two clips just today of reflecting the ice comet but still getting hit by it or it just plainly not getting reflected even though I used my scales to reflect it 1 second after it appeared on the ground.

The other issue is molten armaments not procing as it should unless I'm interpreting the tooltip incorrectly.
When I hit enemy's below 50% the damage looks the same as a regular heavy attack while sometimes my character will proc it doing a weird glitchy animation but giving me the deserved damage/kill. I've tested this with many enemies and it seems to only proc randomly which in my opinion makes no sense since this is suppose to be a DKs pathetic easily avoidable "executioner" ability.

Are you sure you are using "fully charged" heavy attacks with Molten Armaments? You can sometimes catch it under your active effects in the character window if you are quick enough. I never use this ability since I just feel way too exposed with fully charged heavy attacks, especially if you get yourself surrounded by enemies. It's just not worth the risk for me and feels like a wasted ability slot most of the time (since you're almost always surrounded by enemies). I can see it being useful in rare situations where you have a single target with a lot of hit points which through some miracle doesn't spawn adds every two seconds.

MaxwellC

Yeah I know the difference between fully charged heavy attacks and "medium" heavy attacks. I do a fully charge and it still procs randomly making it incredibly unreliable as a skill especially for the high magicka cost and low time it's active for.

Necrelios

Well you might be on to something then. I've always had my suspicions about Molten Armaments too which lead me to checking my active effects frequently to see if it proc'd. I just chalked it up to not being quick enough with opening the menu to see or maybe my heavy attacks were being blocked by the NPC's or interrupted somehow. I'm hoping when they release the scrolling combat text in the next major update it will make discovering these things much easier.

They should really re-evaluate this ability because it's clearly not working as intended along with the reflective scales.

Reflective scales tends to work 70% of the time for me; I don't use it in group content and everything else (except Maelstrom that I haven't tried either) is easy enough that if I get hit a couple of times my a projectile it's not the end of the world.

MaxwellC

Yeah but as I clearly implied I'm having the significant impact occur in PVP. PvE it doesn't matter as I will have a healer and more resources at my disposable since I'm fighting mobs.
They need to either fix the issue or revert it back to reflecting all projectiles for 4 seconds.

MrDerrikk

It's a bug not a change, as it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I guess the bigger stink we make, the more likely we are to get a fix though...

MaxwellC

Yeah definitely the issues only occurred after they brought out IC and previous to IC it happened but it wasn't as frequent.

They really need to make some improvements, next QnA or stream imma make sure I get my question answered regarding these skills.
