View Full Version : [Rogue] PvP Damage Glitch (Not the PvP Nerf)
Hello Devs,
There's currently an issue with the PvP Damage nerf that you have placed upon rogues. I realize that it has been effect for a while. However, when making it visual, it has now bugged out.
The nerf overrides every damage percent boost there is, including the 15% damage pets. Why? I have no idea.
This can be proved through comparing Glacian to Hammerjaw. These screenshots were taken in PvP!
Glacian:
91124
Hammerjaw:
91125
Retested in various setups to confirm that it is in fact a visual glitch.
Bless

Probably just another display glitch.

No, I've tried many times against an unshielded mage and I usually hit 2k crit in maxed out gear on a charged aimed shot...
Asphynxia was also kind enough to test with me against his rogue as well.

Didn't you ask (understating it) for them to fix the one-hit crits ko's? Sounds to me like they granted the request.

I asked for them to give new gear to do that, not nerf current gear. It's a glitch, yet apparently that's a request? We need the damage to be able to kill juggernaut warriors but all classes need additional health. This is not a solution. The solution is replacement gear to gear 15 levels from level cap that is still considered the best. Furthermore, this would only apply to rogues. Mages hit quite hard these days as well, to the point where if you are stun locked, you have a slight chance of surviving. I think everybody would appreciate more survivability, no? So, please don't do the trolls. They don't help!
Anyways, after about a good 200 more aimed shots, we decided that it was Asphynxia's Magmatic Doublet of Will saving his butt. However, the initial issue still remains that the damage percents for rogue does not show.

Normally I am the first one to defend STS, and I understand that there are always going to be some issues that cannot be found when only a few people test the game client. That said, did STS even test this client? There are way too many issues present that should have been caught during routine testing, and this is surely one of them.

Honestly, I've spent my playing time digging up the glitches. With all the math going on with these number displays, I can definitely see how it was missed.

I wasn't trolling. Seriously, if it stopped the problem of rogues one-hitting each other with. 4k crits (which are ridiculous) who cares if it's gear or damage that was nerfed. The rest of this post doesn't even make sense to me. Of course the magmatic saved aspy's butt, it's 200 armor more than mythic. That is straight numbers. Save the hostility for someone else.

Maybe it's to compensate for all the other rogues'.. Uhm... 'Features'?

Your solution is to do away people's multiple millions they spent on pets? Sorry, that's broken, not a system. It would also cost a toll on the arcane pet economy.
They are one hitting each other because health and armor are simply not high enough. By reducing damage, you have a new set of issues:
• Not being able to run down Mage's shield quick enough
• Not being able to kill a Juggernaut warrior
So, fix the one hits by increasing armor and health. A shielded mage cannot be one hit & a warrior, unless has no buffs and stunned cannot be one combo'd either.
Additionally, then there is this bug that extrapolates the issue you described, if we are referring to armor debufffs:

Either way, you seem to have a suggestion while I am reporting a bug. So, I'd suggest you use the Suggestions & Feedback forums for your suggestion if you think it's a suitable one rather than attempting to turn a bug into something that it is not. :)

After many tests, it is just a visual bug so that is not the case.

If you honestly have no clue what I'm talking about, I'll PM you. I also did many tests, very recently, and can tell you for sure I'm not talking about any visual bugs here.

Remembered this quote from null_void about debuffs being first and then if NO debuffs then buffs apply. I was thinking at the time it was if you were debuffed by an enemy but it looks like the global PvP debuff might count and is wiping any and all buffs!
You are both correct. The way that the current multiplier system works depends on the statistic being multiplied. In the case of damage specifically, we apply the following rules:
- Is there one or more debuff? If so, use the lowest damage multiplier (for example, if you have a 0.5 damage multiplier debuff and a 0.25 damage multiplier debuff, this would result in a multiplier of 0.25).
- Otherwise, is there one or more buff? If so, use the highest damage multiplier (for example, if you have a 1.05 damage multiplier buff and a 1.25 damage multiplier buff, this would result in a multiplier of 1.25).
Because of this, yes. If you have a passive skill with a 1.05 multiplier (5/5 skill), and you also have a pet out that gives you a 1.15 multiplier, your total damage multiplier will be 1.15.
There are a few things that override this - bonus damage, double damage weekends and such interact with the statistic system differently from the normal multipliers, so they don't use this logic.

Sure, PM me. :)
