Assassin HiD AB not applying for DR bypass.

Post by Relko » Fri May 03, 2024 8:54 pm

Description:
As title states, after testing it seems the HiD attack bonus that assassins get is NOT applying for the purposes of bypassing DR. It is still applying in the sense of increasing overall AB, but not stacking with a weapon's AB bonus to bypass things like premonition and stoneskin.

Steps to reproduce:
Equip any high AB weapon that applies for HiD. Use it with enough HiD bonus to reach +5 or above on a particular weapon. Attack something with stoneskin or premonition to see that it will not bypass it.

Expected results:
To achieve a higher AB on a weapon by gaining HiD bonuses.

Actual Results:
HiD applies to overall AB, but not to weapon AB

Misc Notes:
I expect the Ab bonus to show on the weapon in blue text as a higher AB, but it also does not. For example if a Blackguard's Corrupt weapon's AB will show up in blue text as +5 AB when it bypasses the weapons regular AB, this does not currently happen for Assassins that increase their AB of their weapon with HiD.

Servers affected:
Both regular and PGCC. Tested on Both.

Gaming Platform:
PC.

This is not a bug, as assassin's hidden danger ability never applied to weapons. To my knowledge there is no mention of it applying to weapons, only that if you have the rogue weapon bonus (which does apply to weapons), an equivalent amount of AB from hidden danger is lost so you can't double dip on AB between the two.

Moving this to resolved as this is not a bug, but if it is felt the hidden danger bonus should apply to weapons a feedback thread would be a good thing to consider
