Increased weapon damage?

SwordOS · October 2016

Hello guys, yesterday I noticed an increase of weapon damage (something like 800 points) by joining a dungeon using the grouping tool. I'm wondering if this is a bug or something intentional, and if it was here before "One Tamriel" update. I really don't like it, it makes veteran dungeons too easy..

CP or level?

Mic1007 · October 2016

It scales you to cp160, rather than cp150 like everywhere else. That makes a suprisingly large difference with the right gear setup.

Oh, wait, Vet Dungeons? Hmm...

The problem is that I'm already cp 160

I noticed an increase too by like 500. I only noticed cus the guy I was running a dungeon with also claimed his weapon damage had gone up

Yeah, I caught that afterwards. Is this happening in every Group Finder dungeon?

Friend had the same issue in PS4 yesterday. Weapon damage jumped significantly, think he said it got to 4800 or so just with rally...normally he's at like 3700-3800 with just rally on. We are both 561 cp so no battle scaling issue. We weren't complaining though, made our monster helm grabbing go rather quickly, but I can see this becoming an issue rather quickly. Everyone go to maelstrom!!!

Yes, everyone, as long as I join with the group finder

I can't think of a set that buffs the group by 800 damage, but I can think of sets that proc weapon damage and then if you have fighters guild skills + FG passives + MA could easily take you to 800.

With all such things, I get over than 4.5+ weapon damage. I tested it without buffs and I obtained 3.8k instead of my 3k (outside dungeon)

Only buff i noticed was someone used igneous wepons and it boosted my attack from 2.6/2.8k to 3.2k

other than that i did Vet CoS last night and those were the only boost in weapon damage i had.

It was not igneous weapon in my case

Edit: I also tried to join that dungeon with the same group, but not by group finder, and I din't have my wb increased

Edit: I don't know how to modify my thread, so I'll post here:
My normal stats and buffs:

My stats and buffs after entering with the grouping tool (same group, same sets, same skills):

Ha, maybe they decided this would be the best way to combat everyone complaining about group finder? Make everyone extra powerful so pugs can play nice with eachother?

OrphanHelgen · October 2016

This is correct, I have over 5k weapon dmg in dungeons, I noticed it in wgt, prison and fungal I think. This is not the case in trials or zones.

Maybe, the problem is that I can use this "cheat" even with my own guildfriends by running the dungeon with the group finder..
no one wants to run a dungeon in the "hard way" anymore, since you get no penalities

I can't see anything about it in the patch notes. It sounds strange

bigted209 · October 2016

Highly doubt it's intentional... I say enjoy it while you can. Go wreck dungeons for as many helmets as you can before the inevitable patch fix

SickDuck · October 2016

Maybe worth checking your gear tooltip. Could be that scaling mechanism went wrong and buffed your gear/sets?

ChapterMasterV · October 2016

Y'know, this could explain how I could get 6.5k weapon damage fully buffed.

PS4_ZeColmeia · October 2016

Ok so since you are WW, I'm going to ask the obvious question: Are you transformed?

I have the skeleton polymorph, but I'm not werewolf. This happened to all my friends though

PS4_ZeColmeia · October 2016

So you are just infected with the WW disease? You specifically have that on your list of buffs on your character sheet. I haven't done WW so I'm not sure what a full blown WW looks like the character sheet.

boldscot · October 2016

I noticed this yesterday too, inside dungeons my WD was significantly higher, by almost 1k. I checked active buffs but there was nothing in there that was buffing it.

PS4_ZeColmeia · October 2016

For both of you, was someone in your group below lvl 50? I wonder if the individual battle leveling is extending to the group.

Vaoh · October 2016

Oh cool. Does this buff Spell Damage too for Magicka users?

Cause I have doubts it does....

Either way, this does not sound correct especially if CP561 players are getting it.

I looked at the screenshoted character sheets above and it looks like it buffs spell damage too.
