Weapon enchant bug — inheriting the level + quality of your weapon poison

EDIT: Fixed as of PC patch v5.0.5 (update 22)

If you have a weapon poison equipped on your frontbar, and proc your backbar enchantment whilst on this bar, the backbar enchant will inherit the item quality & level of the weapon poison (cp150, white-quality by default).

Backbar enchants can be procced on the frontbar via 2 ways:
  1. With ground-based weapon DoTs (volley, ele blockade) that continuously proc the enchant of the originating weapon
  2. Shoot a ranged light attack or weapon ability > swapcancel to frontbar > projectile connects with target

When this bug occurs, it results in proccing an enchantment effect of a lower value than normal. Typical poisons used by a max-level toon are cp150, white-quality by default, and your enchant's effect will be scaled-down to these stats.

Example:
You have a gold-quality, cp160 Berserker glyph on your backbar, which gives you +348 WD/SD when procced. If you use either of the two abovementioned methods to proc this on your frontbar, whilst having a poison equipped, you will only get +232 WD/SD—the precise value of a cp150, white-quality zerker glyph.

This also applies to enchants that deal direct damage (glyph of flame, etc.).

    Does this bug happen if you do the opposite? Ie use back bar poisons and proc the enchantment on the front bar?

    Backbar/frontbar is all relative. A more general way of stating it would be:

    If an enchant from a different bar procs on a bar with poison equipped, then the enchant inherits the level & quality of the poison.

    I guess I dont see it as relative, wall and endless will nearly always be on the back bar, there is very little reason to have them on your main bar, unless you are running a single bar set up, like on a sorc.

    So what you are saying is that if you do what I am asking, ie back bar poisons, you will be all right? Because most set ups will not be procing the front bar enchant on the back bar, outside of maybe destro ulti on the front bar setups, though mag builds don't run poisons.

    Good point.

    For mag builds in PvE which you seem to be talking about it wouldn't matter since they don't typically run poisons. For stam it could still conceivably happen as blade cloak procs enchants from the originating weapon. So you might proc your zerker from DW while on your bow bar with poisons, and thus trigger the bug.

    Seems poisons affect more than just that. Somehow I noticed huge sustain drops when using recovery sets like Lich when poisons are used. Need to test such stuff.

    My suspicion is that ZOS can't nail down the bug, and so will add gold CP160 poisons in a future update to "fix" it.

    @casparian Well they recently fixed a related bug where food was inheriting the stats of your poison, so this may be a similar problem. I'm sure they could fix it if only this thread could get on their radar...

    insightfull knowledge into this bug, Ive never heard of :open_mouth:

    this would mean that running poisons on the frontbar, is even worse than we thought...besides the not stacking problem in PVE....but this bug seems to be even worse IMO.

    This does only occur with poisons right?

    Frontbar / backbar enchants dont interfear with eachother?

    They're aware of it. It is apparently a very complex issue within the enchantment system...
