Twice-Fanged Serpent Set Bugged

Yamenstein

Not sure if this is happening to just me or not - but Twice-Fanged Serpent isn't working as intended.
According to the description, the 5th set bonus should increase physical penetration by 965 for 3 seconds when you deal damage. This stacks up to 5 times.
My physical penetration is 5260, and when i attack someone it goes up to 6225 - and then stays there. Isn't meant to stack up to 4825 ? Making my physical penetration 10.085 ? Or am I missing something here?

Sorry - forgot to mention that this is for the PC NA server.

It could be the addon not showing the penetration properly. Youre better of comparing the damage you deal with light attacks against a dungeon boss.

Addons get the data direct from the engine. General rule of thumb, addons are more reliable than gear sets..

Yamenstein

All mobs in the zones have 18,000 physical resist correct? Can I try light attacking them to check the difference?

Yamenstein

Can't see any damage difference between not using the set and using it. Not sure what is going on here. @ZOS_GinaBruno Would it be possible for someone to take a look at this? I was looking forward to using this set - but according to my addons and testing it doesn't increase the physical penetration by five stacks - nor does it show any sort of increase in damage as well from the testing. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. But would be awesome for a double check.

@ZOS_GinaBruno
I just equipped the new Spriggan set, and it works as expected - my 5260 physical penetration went up by 3768 to give me 9028 physical penetration. But when I use the Twice-Fanged Set my physical penetration goes up to 6225. I could use one light attack, or a rapid strike, or both and a rending slash and so on but it caps at 6225 physical penetration.

3 seconds is pretty quick

If I spam rapid strikes it's not. Also when I have endless hail and caltraps on the enemy, and when I have noxious breath, rending slashes, + more dots. It increases per damage done.

You think every tick counts for it? also I read somewhere that we've been mislead in thinking everything has 18k resists now and that trash packs are still what they used to be. I am inclined to believe this as with the most recent patch they are very easy to kill and I still notice a difference in damage on boss enemies vs trash. But regardless, your add-on shoukd at least show accurate numbers.

It should, the tooltip say everytime you deal damage rather than every attack/melee attack/etc

As @SkylarkX stated, it should count for it - it doesn't say otherwise. Also I can see that it does because the buff tracker is showing a constant restart of the buff.

Yamenstein

@ZOS_GinaBruno has this been fixed in the new patch - I'm assuming not because it's not in the patch notes.

Yamenstein

So is this bugged or working as intended? Any moderators able to tell me? It would be much appreciated.
