Arcanist skill description lies

Grendalism · April 14

Apocryphal gate skill description is not true.

Both the base skill, and the morphs state it generates crux as you use the gate.

Nope.

It ONLY generates crux if you use the gate whilst in combat.

The descriptions need updating to reflect this….can’t prebuff with crux before a gate using gate.
(Obviously if you have scholarship on, it’ll generate crux by using the gate, but hat is not from the gate itself, but scholarship)

Maybe as this is a simple text correction that @ZOS_Kevin can get added in to u42?

I don’t really think it needs an update, Crux is only generated in combat, in all cases. They changed this very shortly after the Necrom launch so that you cannot pre-buff yourself with three Crux. That exactly was the reason for the change.

How is a new player supposed to know how crux works if the details are not in the tooltips?

That is something I can agree with, the game in many cases is not very good at telling you about specific things, Crux is one of them. I‘m not sure if Crux is explained somewhere at all, maybe in the character creation scene, but that‘s like the worst place to put it.

It was suggested that they include this information somewhere in game. That was a year ago this week:

For general clarity, yes. And that's still something that should be improved, although there are at the very least explanations of "direct" versus "over time" and "single target" versus "area of effect" in the help files. I would agree each skill should be labeled, though.

For Arcanist's crux mechanic specifically, we asked for it as soon as it was released on PTS. There's literally no explanation of crux anywhere in game. A help search for it produces no results whatsoever. It's not even mentioned in the description of an Arcanist, even though that's the class-defining mechanic.
