Spellsword - 1d12 Electric Imbue Aoe not Triggering

Post by time_limited » Wed Aug 28, 2019 9:13 am

Description of Bug Experienced:
The 1d12 Electric imbue does not trigger the Aoe attack as often as it should.
Accordingly to the wiki the Aoe should trigger every 4th attack (once per flurry).

What happens is that the AoE is triggered every 12 attack.

The 1d8 works correctly but 1d12 does not. Tested on same enemies

Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Cast an electric spell on a weapon as a SS.

Use 1d8 first and observe how often the AoE is triggered.

Then imbue with 1d12 and observe that the Aoe is triggered less frequently despite higher DC

Expected Result:
Both 1d12 and 1d8 trigger with the same frequency (once per flurry)

Actual Result:
1d12 does not trigger once per flurry
Plays as:
Brega Dwarf-Smasher (active)
Longinus Dwarf-Smasher

Note that the following doesn't account for any differences between the tiers of imbue that you have reported, but should give you a better understanding of what to expect.

A flurry is 2 seconds apart, the amount of attacks you roll for in that flurry is dependent on the number of attacks you have in a round.

For example an SS with 3 attacks in a round will cause a proc on every single hit. Where as a 6 APR SS would proc on every 2nd hit (still 3 times max in a round).

This of course assumes that you are hitting every time and the timer works perfectly.

To sum up, the maximum procs you'll get in a round is 3 (if you don't count true strike), with a 2 second cooldown between them. It's not every X (4) attacks that you get a proc.

Do you know how many APR you have?
Thankfully this team is no longer being used.

I have tested with 3APR character. It only occurs in first flurry, then it doesn't occurs for like 15-20 seconds.
Edited for grammar to make it worse, probably.

I just checked too and, yeh, it's definitely broken (at least on the pgcc)!

This has been fixed and works as intended now
