Stygian (5 Piece Bonus) *NOT* applying to Overload light attacks from stealth.

Stygian 5 piece bonus states: "increases your damage done with Magicka abilities by 20% while sneaking or invisible"
This is NOT applying to Overload light attacks from stealth. Is this a bug or working as intended?
You may say Overload light attacks "break" stealth however this is NOT the case on live, Stygian DOES currently buff Overload light attacks and pulls you out of stealth AFTER the damage has been calculated, thus buffing damage on the live server.
So yeah, is this a bug OR working correctly?!

✭Overload isn't a magicka ability its a ultimate ability. On live the only reason it is buffed is because ultimate abilities scale off your max magicka and spell power but Stygian doesn't buff in that way anymore.
It would be like seducer reducing the cost of overload. That's just not how it works.Edited by SleepyTroll on May 15, 2017 4:56PM0 -

When you use Overloand LA form stealth, arenn't you conspicuous?Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme

✭✭@Xvorg Yes, you are visible just after you throw the light attack, stygian buff still increases the damage though (on Live server).
TBH and having xp as NB, I don't think stygian is a good set for a sorc... is not worth even for a NB
If you use it with overload you will buff only one LA.
The thing is that when you are a NB and you fire a full heavy attack from cloak, the attack takes you out of stealth. I've not calculated if the attack goes with the extra dmg increase NBs have in the Master Assasin passive, but I imagine it doesn't, so maybe the server treats that situation and the overload/stygian situation as the same.
I don't like it, but it seems that for ZoS it is working "as intended"Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

chiipso✭✭✭On a side note: the recent notes contain a +15% damage buff to light attacks. This is not currently being applied to overload light attack damage. Is this working as intended?0
