Any word on a fix for Balorgh? Right now the set provides no increase in weapon/spell damage after ult consumption, this started after this weeks patch.

We're aware, but don't have a fix completed for it yet.

If it was the crown store would you still wait till monday? This is a major issue and should be hotfixed faster than that as there is a major event coming up tomorrow. The lackluster response on this is very disappointing.

The funniest thing was the patch claimed to fix Balorgh's set because it was giving the benefits without consuming ultimate if the target broke line of site so it failed to activate and they fixed it a little too well to even more broken.

hahahaha

Oh well this explains why I died due to running out of magicka like 4 times last night

Maelstrom's dual-wield - I read that it had a bug in relation to Poison Injection. (Poison Injection consuming the buff, but not actually getting buffed). Is it fixed or still broken?

TheYKcid · September 2018

@vesselwiththepestle

That was fixed with the Summerset update:

Cruel Flurry: Fixed an issue where this item set’s bonus was being consumed by the Poison Injection morph but was not actually benefiting from it.

vesselwiththepestle · September 2018

Oohhhh thank you very much! I totally missed that. Time to farm maelstrom arena again.

WeylandLabs · September 2018

Still cruel flurry doest work with both morphs of the bow ults.

Works with soul assault as a mag single target dot ability ult.

But still nothing on the bow, it's been over a year.

Am I missing something ?

My Maelstrom Bow only buffs Endless Hail if I stay on back bar. If I switch to dual wield front bar, the Endless Hail ticks revert to default damage and stay there. Is that working as intended? I always felt like Maelstrom Bow effect carried over during bar swaps but honestly did not pay much attention to it until this patch.

John_Falstaff · September 2018

@Dagoth_Rac , no, the effect should be carried over after bar-swap (with one corner case: if you launch Hail and swap before first damage tick hits the ground, the bow's buff won't have effect). Make sure you're not using Hail as your last skill in back bar rotation.

But considering how many weapons were broken this patch, I wouldn't be surprised this one was broken too.

It turned out to be the "corner case" but I blame the animation of Endless Hail. You see arrows falling for a while before damage actually ticks. Even with a Power of the Light after Endless Hail and arrows falling from Endless Hail, I was still bar swapping before damage from Endless Hail started ticking. Considering there is a delay before the arrows start falling, another delay before damage starts ticking seems excessive and confusing. Wish they would speed up the damage (it is supposed to be an instant cast skill) or at least change the animation to make the damage match the arrows falling.

@ZOS_GinaBruno arena weapons still not fixed? You said fix will be today.

TheYKcid · September 2018

Not at home so I can't test at the moment, but the natch potes said the following:

Item Sets
Reverted the previous attempted fix for the Balorgh item set proccing even if you failed to cast the Ultimate. This fix unintentionally caused issues with other Item Set abilities.
Note: The issue with the Balorgh Item Set will be fixed in a future patch.

The change that broke the Arena weapons has been reverted, so technically they should be working as they did previously.

In view of the fact that Rapid Fire is not DoT but Direct Damage, Cruel Flurry does not work on it as intended.

WeylandLabs · September 2018

Interesting : The fact that it says, that is does "damage over (x) seconds" clearly is NOT a single target damage over time ability.

And maybe it doesn't scale with cp also as a damage over time ability. But it does scale in thraumaturge that's odd.

Is this why we cant have nice things ?

TheYKcid · September 2018

As of incremental patch 4.1.9, all five weapons that were previously broken are now working again, based on my own testing.

Updating the OP.

One of my friends dueled me to test master's dual wield and it wasn't applying the set effects to me just now. Sooo idk. Did you test it on another person or the target dummy?

TheYKcid · September 2018

@shaielzafine

I've tested it both on the dummy, as well as on a player in a duel. It worked fine in both cases.

Could you elaborate on your testing procedure? Note that the extra damage from Stinging Slashes does not take the form of a 2nd separate DoT alongside your Rending—the extra damage is instead integrated into each tick of Rending (so it still ticks once every 2s).

However, if it legitimately didn't work for you, it could be related to this bug reported not too long ago. I've never tested for that bug, so I can't comment:

@TheYKcid

Each tick was the same on my combat log statistics, and on his addons. There's no extra damage applied when using twin slashes with master's dual wield vs other dual wield weapons. He says he tested master bow as well, and that one was also still bugged. We've been dueling regularly for months now, since we've been in the same pvp guild, and his stamsorc definitely hurt less than it used to, and I wasn't purging on my stamwarden that he dueled. I heard he tried on target dummy as well.

Have your addons been updated?

SaintSubwayy · January 2019

Arise old post, you have been summend again

I've heard now on multiple occasions that the vMA DW is only affecting the First hit from Dots, therefore it seems to be not working as intended anymore.

@TheYKcid can you confirm this, or have you tesed it already within patch 4.3.0?

I will try to give this bug a shot, when I get onto PTS today, but if its confirmed before that, than I dont have to ^^
