[BUG] Deadly strikes

It's inconsistent in what it buffs. It will buff the damage of flurry, it will not buff the damage of jabs.

Disclaimer: I know the flurry vs jabs discrepancy predates this patch. Just pointing out yet another set that behaves differently for these skills

I can provide screen shots if necessary. Tested swapping a robust ring from another set with a deadly ring on pts. Jabs tooltip remained the same, flurry tool tip goes up with deadly ring slotted.

    Deadly Strike does buff the damage of Biting Jabs.

    It doesn't modify the skill tooltip but if you test it does modify the damage.

    And the usual "discrepancy" between Jabs and Rapid Strikes is that Jabs procs Burning Light, which is direct damage, so it *appears* that Jabs satisfies Direct Damage proc conditions but it does not. At least as far as I'm aware.

    I'll do a test tomorrow. If so, then that's another bug because deadly strikes increases the tooltip of every other skill it affects.

    The discrepancy between the 2 I hear the most is jabs procs ravager, flurry does not.

    I'm fairly sure this discrepancy is due to what I mentioned before. Burning Light is Direct Damage, so Jabs procs Burning Light which procs Ravager.

    Maybe it was different in the past but right now every tick of Jabs is buffed by Thaumaturge (not Master-at-Arms) and every tick is buffed by Deadly Strike.

    Never trust the tooltips, have to actually test it to see what's happening.

    It's not, there have been more then a few tests shown on the forums, jabs alone is enough to proc ravager.

    Yep that's correct. Just tested on a stamplar with no points in Burning Light. Biting Jabs procs Selene (and Ravager but Ravager is just melee damage now so that makes sense), so it is counting as "Direct Damage" for that purpose but it is buffed by Thaumaturge, not Master at Arms, and is also buffed by Deadly Strike.

    Confirmed what @LiquidPony said, checking combat log once I added it, the damage of each jab went up with deadly strikes slotted. Please delete or lock this thread.
