Hello. I have recently stumbled upon something rather weird while attacking from stealth.
Alright so i've recorded three videos of me using my stealth combo from stealth. 1 video displays my combo from stealth, 1 video displays just a surprise attack from stealth and the last video displays my combo from stealth with the issue im going to talk about.
Video #1 - Showcases a standard combo from my build out of stealth. Damage Recap:
-Heavy attack: 35,477 crit
-Off-hand:10,720 crit
-Disease Enchant: 5,912 crit
-Viper Proc: 17,325 crit
-Surprise Attack: 11,111 no crit
Video #2 - Showcases a standard surprise attack from my build coming from stealth. Damage Recap:
-Surprise Attack: 54,190 crit
-Viper Proc: 14,586 crit
Video #3 - Showcases a standard combo from my build from stealth WITH a problem. Death Recap:
-Heavy Attack: 35,477 crit
-Off-hand: 10,720 crit
-Daedric Enchant (Off-hand): 3,329 crit [Either enchant can proc off a heavy attack]
-Viper Proc: 17,325 crit
-Surprise Attack: 54,190 crit
So the issue is, for some reason, it is possible to get my surprise attack which is executed after my heavy attack, to deal full damage as if it were the first attack i dealt from stealth (with empower bonus). I have no idea why this occurring. This also means that my Empower bonus can apply to more then one attack on these rare occasions.
Another interesting fact you may notice is how Empower is applied to the Viper's Sting Set. In Video 1 or 3, the Vipers sting set is dealing 20% more damage then compared to Video 2. The weird thing is the fact Viper is being classified as my "first attack" before my heavy attack occurs in Videos 1 and 3. So basically this means that Viper's damage is calculated first before any melee damage even occurs... which doesn't make sense since melee damage is required to activate this set. This may or may not increase my damage from stealth since im pretty sure my heavy attack would benefit more so from the Empower buff but i thought it would be something interesting to note.
Hopefully this information help's. If any additional information is required feel free to ask.
