I noticed something since update.

capper123

on my backbar i have 500 less spell power, i would lay down wall of elements and it would tick around 4k say, then when i switched to front bar it would tick for around 5k. since update there is no diff now.

capper123

oh i tried this without enchants too, same thing.

tunepunk

Interesting, I have to test this as well.

Maybe they changed something so that the spell is always as strong as the moment you cast it? It won't be buffed after it was cast?

I don't know if it's good or bad but it would make sense.

If you could use a white non trait staff on back bar, and switch to a yellow staff on front bar and your spell would be strong as a yellow sharpended staff that wouldn't make any sense.

capper123

what im saying wall of elements used the front bar spell power after switching from backbar, now it uses the spell power of the bar it was cast from. wich is not the way it ever worked.

AcadianPaladin

That is my understanding of the patch notes. Effects use the spell power of the bar from which cast - even after you switch to other bar.

ok list that one with the other 50 nerfs.

thank you zenimax for the work, please continue these things.

This is how I remember it having always worked. Things like crit and penetration being retroactive to cast abilities, and things like damage and max stats being locked until the next cast.

That's very interesting. Most skills worked that way for a long time, keeping the stats of where it was casted, but WoE was one of the exceptions. Can't complain about consistancy, I suppose.

Maybe Sir @Gilliamtherogue can cast some light on this?

Fo sho the vMA enchant on back bar doesn't seem to be working now. Need to test the vMA bow.

Yo @DRXHarbinger you mean the vMA back bar enchant doesn't carry over to front, or doesn't proc from the off bar?

That kinda makes vMA back bar useless if the first. Makes.sense for other enchants but not vMA as it's ongoing. Hmm

Vma enchant does carry over.
