Major bug with backbar enchants

Tested with Poison injection, Destructive reach and Elemental blockade, both with direct damage enchant and weapon damage enchant.

Direct damage enchant, hit while on the bar it's used from=2949 damage. Hit while procced on front bar from the dot=175 damage.

Weapon damage enchant cast on back bar but activated by dot while on front bar only buffs damage by a tiny amount. In the 40-50 damage range. While it increased around 600 if used on the main bar.

    Tested once again with infused gold weapon damage enchant cp 160. Total weapon damage is increased from 2093 to 2135 so a total of 42 weapon damage when I light attack with the backbar (with the gold weapon enchant) and swap to main bar before it hits.

    Oh, poison injection and reach dot is proccing offbar enchant? As far as i remember it was only working with ele blockade, dual wield cloak (if first tick hit on dual wield bar) and arrow barrage.

    Yep they changed that but at the same time introduced this bug which makes it useless (and worse than on live) if not fixed :|

    I might be wrong but to my knowledge, WD enchants only ever procced from light/heavy attacksm not from abilities - most DDs moved WD enchant to front and Flame/Poison to backbar because of that

    Oh, nice, this would give some more theorycrafting options for setups. Was really considering deadly cloak cuz of this, with injection for example this could be worth testing.
    @ZOS_GinaBruno would love if zos could look at this

    They moved them cuz with this we get constant backbar dmg enchant proc from ele blockade, and switching to backbar for recast some skills wouldnt cause loss of dps (cuz berserk enchant lasts 5 sec)

    You are wrong ;) This is PTS for new patch. New patch means new things like ALL enchantments procing from ALL damaging weapon skills.

    Hmmm, so i have question, maybe somebody tested. Are those enchants proccing from DSA/MA/AS/BR weapons that alter skills. Like mercifull charge or new draining shot dot?

    No. They proc only from weapon skills not from sets bonuses (even tho they are activated by weapon skills). Stuff like new bow scattershot dot or new impulse dot dont proc it (tested) and that makes 100% sense and it shouldnt work for any other special weapon (like vma 2h)

    It worked for me, at least I am positive it did so I think OP's issue isnt common or it would get more noticed by all those dps testings going around.

    I mean, i hoped a bit but ye. Those weapon bonuses already works a bit diffrent that u would expect (tbh i thought merciless charge was like proc, but opposite to normal procs dmg from it can still crit, that's why was wondering if there are ony other cases)

    Weird. But if people use endless hail/elemental blockade for dps tests, those skills might work correctly (the dot part of those did after all work with enchants before this patch also, while poison injection/destructive reach didn't)

    Dunno but I have no issue. Hail, Acid Spray, Poison Injection all proc absorb stam or weapon damage enchant correctly from any bar.

    There is indeed something messy going on with this. Tried infused torug to proc enchants more often to see how damage change and nothing did changed.
    But then removed gear and tried again and combat log was showing that damage of both dot skill and enchants were changing:
    dots_buug.jpg
    ^^(last tick - 1595, is it actual damage that it deal without bar-swapping)
    Have to test more but it seems something messing when you switch bars.

    Weird. It was easy to reproduce for me even without using addons. I've added a video of the bug, but just to be clear:
    Bug happens with backbar enchants proccing from a dot cast with backbar weapon while being on frontbar (in this case destructive clench).

    https://youtu.be/a0Kuihn_nt4

    You can clearly see enchant proc for 3407 damage (crit)and initial clench hit for 843 damage.

    Subsequent enchant hits are 111 non crit and 167 crit, with the dot shown in orange colours below.

    Also, rending slashes will proc both weapon enchants on cooldown.
    Just tested a single rending slashes hit. It did 87k damage to target dummy with a non optimized setup :-|

    @Jaxaxo

    iirc, Summerset made it so bad bar enchant proced off skills fired from back bar even when on the front bar. It is why damage enchant on back bar with weapon damage enchant front bar is the think now.

    With WoE and Destructive touch my back bar damage enchant is procing just fine when on the front bar, on PTS of course. I used both shock and fire enchants.

    On stam it is a little different for me. it is procing for about 1/3 less than the tooltip for the enchantment reads. Back bar tooltip has 4545 poison damage enchant and it is procing for 2999 off endless hail and Poison injection.
