VMA bow enchant

Toc de Malsvi · February 2017

Since Homestead dropped on Console I have been doing dps tests on dummies. One issue that popped up that I never had encountered before was my VMA bow enchant is disappearing really fast. I'm having to re-charge the weapon every couple tests because its empty. Has anyone else experienced this?

It consumes a charge for every single tick - same as what we have on PC.

No ETA.

its a bug since homestead, draining 1 charge per barswap.

I had charged mine before doing a vMA run last night and it needed to be charged again before I was done. Previously a fully charged enchant on my vMA bow would've gotten me through the arena no problem. It was a pretty rough run with the lag and skills not firing so I had just chalked it up to overcasting and thought it also may have been taking a charge in those times the skill didn't fire (the sound effect for the skill would still be there).

Same with master bow. My vma dw is just fine tho. But yeh i'm having to charge it 1-2x per dungeon, depending on which.

I only got my master bow a month ago but it has always been that way for me and was one of the drawbacks of using it.

You do not need to keep any of the master weapons or vMA ones charged, the enchant works regardless. Except the master sword, the heal does not work unless it is charged but all the damage dealing ones work no matter what.

Not sure if the daggers work when out of charge.

hmmm....I remain skeptical. I'll have to test this.

This just one of many added features in Homestead patch, easter eggs everywhere.

Tested this on the VMA bow and this is simply not true for the VMA bow.

You can see in the first couple casts the damage is increasing as expected. After the enchant drops the damage no longer increases.

Strange, on mine on pc, it certainly works. My numbers keep going up.

Though I will refrain from saying anything in the future on console stuff and will redirect anyone to this post as evidence.

You know what they say, the fastest way to get the right answer is to state a wrong one.
