Spell Critical Exploit

UNSeki

I recently discovered an exploit in one of my characters (a Dragonknight) related to the Major Prophecy buff. So, when you have both Inferno skill from Ardent Flame and Magelight skill from Mages Guild slotted, your spell crit chance seems to be exponentially increased as long as you keep switching your weapons. I've noticed that because sometimes I checked my Stats window and I had like "24.0% spell crit" and some other times I had "64.0% spell crit". Now, I'm not sure if thats actually increases your crit chance or only the value shown in the Attributes tab, but I thought it is worth checking it out.

Yeah you can get 1000+% spell crit. It's purely a ui bug and has been reported a long time ago

Ah, thought so. Why didnt they fix it yet?

Hey everyone! Thank you for your feedback. The issue with Spell Critical going up with Inferno and Magelight has been fixed with the upcoming Housing update.

Direct Quote from the Patch notes for PTS: "Inferno: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs would display an incorrect Spell Critical Strike Chance percentage on your character UI after swapping weapons."

There's another bug with it where if you have Inferno and Magelight on the same bar, Inferno completely erases Magelight, including the 5% Magicka bonus of Inner Light.

Thank you for reporting this. We currently are working on a fix for Major Prophecy from potions being removed while weapon swapping with Magelight on one bar.

Pretty sure this has been reported since Beta.

I also had a bug where my Spell Crit went up by 10% everytime I bar swapped. Not sure if it's related.

No actually , you haven't 'fixed' this issue but created another, Mage light is broken as I have it on both bars yet from weapon swapping I have a total up time of 27% on major prophecy which should be up 100% of the time (as it's on both bars) but instead I have major savagery at 100% despite only having flames of oblivion on 1 bar. You can call this a ui error all you like but it doesnt make it true. It is a fault in your code which has been made worse by the update that zos insist on calling an improvement. The values listed on the parse are accurate and yet another ability in the mages guild line is broken as a result
