Molten Armaments Bug?

Zsymon · July 2015

I'm using Combat Cloud to watch my damage, and I noticed something weird with Molten Armaments. For example I would buff myself with it, and start charging heavy attacks with my inferno staff, but while the buff is up, sometimes my heavy attacks will do 1700 dmg, and sometimes they will do 2600 dmg.. then when I go into execute phase, sometimes the damage will be 3800, and then often it goes back to 1700, where I don't get any of the Molten Armaments buffs, even though the buff is active.

In short, with Molten Armaments active, I will often get neither the 40% damage buff nor the extra execute damage.

The buff to heavy attack damage is shorter than the whole buff. I'd that what you are seeing?

No, regardless of time I will not get the extra heavy attack damage often even one second after casting Molten Armaments. My staff is definitely glowing with fire, but I am not getting increased damage half of the time. Sometimes I'll do 1700 damage, the next hit I'll do 2600, and the next I'll do 1700 again, it's completely random, as if the buff only adds a chance of 40% increased damage.
