Exploiter Passive not working.

Bisbatron

No characters on my account are able to use the exploiter passive, it isn't just an addon error, I am not actually receiving the extra damage from the passive/off balance. I have tested this to no end, reset armour, addons, weapons, champion points. I have 75 in Thaumaturge on 2 different characters, when testing with self applied Shock wall I get anything from 75%-85% off balance uptime, but never more than 2% Off balance exploited. When testing with somebody else applying shock wall, we both get around 90% off balance uptime, they get 70-90% off balance exploited and I again get no more then 2%. This has been tested on many dummies in different houses, on world bosses, and in dungeons

I tested the damage values of myself with and without a shock wall applied under the same circumstances, and saw no notable difference akin to the off balance exploiter cp perk.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

In terms of "Off Balance exploited" are you referring to the Combat Metrics Debuff menu? I believe that refers to knocking down a target with a heavy attack while Off Balance, and is not the same thing as the extra bonus damage from the Exploiter star.

It should be easy to test if you are really getting the extra damage. You just need to record the following:
1. Light Attack with NO Minor Vulnerability and NO Off Balance
2. Light Attack with Minor Vulnerability and NO Off Balance
3. Light Attack with Minor Vulnerability and Off Balance

You should only need to use Wall of Elements for the last one. And just hit the dummy a few times with a staff with a Shock enchant for the 2nd one.

Post your results of this test. If 2 and 3 are the same, then you have something. If not, then you don't.

I'll give that a try, doesn't explain how my metrics gives me 2% max off balance exploit, while my friend, running the same setup gets upwards of 80% consistently. I've done tests with the same kit dual shock staff, and the same kit same traits enchants etc with an inferno staff backbar which should give me more dps for dual shock, due to the passive, however they are both pretty much the same.

Post a pic so we can see exactly what you're looking at.
