[Fixed 67561] QA armor set bonuses 1400% - build 1058

not that i am complaining but im seeing some crazy numbers for some heavy skills on QA. my heavy spec is 110 and with a full set of plate (set bonus of 1400%) i am seeing:

inner strength (100) -> +300 strength for 1 hour 47 min

glancing blow (100) -> +900 avoidance for 4.8 seconds, +300 avoidance for 1 min, 50 secs

body slam (101) -> 429-715 damage, 100.5% stun for 1 min, 39 secs

maybe that is by design? i havent fought anything yet but i feel like just looking at that im going to be pretty tough to kill and i am already pretty tough to kill (PvE)...

 

That's an mundane detail right out of Office Space right there, good catch.

 

im seeing similar things for light armor set bonus. i am not light armor spec and with a full set of light armor (set bonus of 1400%) with acrobatics at 100 (not sure if that matters):

evasion (100) -> 144.9 avoidance for 1 min, 10 secs

dodge (100) -> 734.2 dodge for 2 secs, 244.7 dodge for 1 min, 24 secs

again maybe this is expected but the numbers seem really high. maybe we just need to adjust to a new norm...

 

This sounds like a mistake. Maybe it's supposed to be 140%?

 

@Alley Oop this officially needs to be a bug i think. the release notes clearly say that a full set is a 20% bonus. i would have thought that my heavy spec would boost it some but currently my set bonuses are 1400% for both heavy and light. could you please move it to the appropriate bug forum and get it in front of the devs? crazy OP right now and its going in the release tomorrow...

 

Probably. But how fun would the next release be it were accurate?

 

it is going to be insanity cause on twitter he stated he is riding with the current build. wonder how quickly the patch will come... personally i think its enough to rebuild. we tried

 

I might have to take an early lunch if it isn't fixed before release. Stuff being that OP is pretty boring in the long run, but it can be fun for an hour or so. Plus it just sounds hilarious to tank with an air ranger. Too bad I'm light armor, though.

 

Oh damn! I forgot that tomorrow is release day.

 

Though... This is reportedly with lvl 1 light armor spec... so basically, set to unlearn...

 

now im really puzzled @Cora Cuz'avich. how is your body slam at 40 greater than mine at 101 and heavy spec 110? maybe strength?

 

That's not mine, I grabbed the image from Discord. I don't have QA installed. I wish I did, my Dodge skill must be hilariously high.

 

ah k i just did the super strength skill and my body slam goes up to 1692 damage lol.

 

moved to qa bug forum.

are you actually trying it in combat? this may be a display error. i fought torc last night (the dodge pic from cora above is mine) and, while i did dodge a lot more than before, he still managed to kill me one fight out of two; i was not invulnerable.

 

According to the release notes, the bonus for 5 pieces is supposed to be 20%, a much more reasonable number.

 

definitely happening in combat. downed the pit dragon in 25 seconds without really trying hard. body slam hits of:

885
1973
5223
4240

 

based on twitter sounds like this might be fixed before release. thank goodness. thank you @Alley Oop for getting it some attention. this one would have been crazy to get out there.

 

just on a complete side note, i would be curious what your defensive #s were for those fights. if you get a moment and you are willing, would you process your QA chatlog in my combat stats analyzer (linked in my sig) and report the numbers from the defensive section? i would be interested in how many dodges you got vs how many times you felt you used the dodge skill.

 

this appears to be resolved in release 81. there is still an issue getting the 20% for a full set (already noted and confirmed in bug forum) but nothing like the above. again thank you all who helped on this one and thank you @Barugon for getting the prod bug in quickly
