Barbarian's Rage does not give +1 AB

Post by Lasos » Tue Sep 18, 2018 8:25 pm

Dear all,

I do not know if this is a bug, or the wiki perhaps has some wrong information, but I do not find that the Barbarian's Rage gives +1 AB from level 1 (have not reached level 12 yet to see if it gives +2 then). Everything else seems to be on point with the wiki.

Best to 'ya all,
Lasos.

Do you have 18 base Constitution? With 17 or less, your bonus AB will be reduced by 1, and your DI by 5%.

I do have 18 CON, yes. I am using a two-handed weapon, which gets +2 AB, could that perhaps be interfering?

I have actually not checked if I am also getting the 5% dmg reduc, since I am half-orc, that buff icon is already present and as such makes it difficult for me to know when there’s an additional +5.

you checked the combat log rather then the character sheet?
i know i been tricked by that before in regard to the +2 ab from two handed and bard song ab.
combat log and character sheet didn't show the same thing back then.
the combat log showed the right value, while the character sheet was false.

I haven’t! I’ll check later and report if it’s displaying the correct value.

You were right, my combat log consistently show 1 higher AB on my attacks when in rage and not when out. That's probably it. Thanks a lot for your reply.
