{KNOWN]Moon Magic - Fireflies - Is it right??

The release notes talks about Fireflies highlighting the character and raising the chance for a Critical Hit. But I just trained it and it is show that it is reducing my critical hit chance at level 1 by -5.1% and at level 21 it will be -6.1%. So I use this and I lose chance???

 

MOON MAGIC TIME:

• Tier 2 spell: Fireflies. Surrounds target with fireflies making target easier to hit and increasing crit chance. Also clear way to mark designated target for large group combats.

 

Supposed to make Target easier to hit.

Supposed to increase crit chance.

These are both according to @Chris blog.

 

I thought so! Someone in my guild said it would reduce their (enemies) critical chance.

 

Bug submitted under JIRA 45140. Thank you for letting us know.

 

it doesn't say it's reducing crit chance, it says it's reducing crit chance REDUCTION, meaning your target will be able to reduce your crits less. that seems right.

 

Alley oop, you might be right and me and guild mates have been going back and forth. But even if that is right, it sure is confusing. Writing descriptions with double negatives that result in a positive is odd.

 

Okay. Thanks for the clarification @Chris !!

 

@Chris: actually, is there a distinction? the way it's worded, implies that that is reduces the opponent's reduction, presumably to a level of 0. Therefore if you have a -6% to reduction on them but they only have a 5% reduction, you only get the benefit of the -5%?

That's how I would read that. Is that what it means?

 

The tooltip also says "melee", does this mean that it does not work with bows?

 

Seem to work with bows as well.
