These are the spells affected by what is called the "sticky damage" update from around Dec 2.
+ Flame Weapon sticky damage fixed. Lasts turn/min per casterlevel. Fists allowed.
+ Bless Weapon sticky damage fixed. Lasts turn/min per casterlevel. Fists allowed.
+ Lawful Weapon sticky damage fixed. Lasts turn/min per casterlevel. Fists allowed.
+ Holy Weapon sticky damage fixed. Lasts turn/min per casterlevel. Fists allowed.
+ Deafening Clang sticky damage fixed. Lasts turn/min per casterlevel. Fists allowed.
+ Flame of Faith sticky damage fixed. Lasts turn/min per casterlevel. Fists allowed.
+ Disrupting Weapon sticky damage fixed. Lasts turn/min per casterlevel. Fists allowed.
+ Magic Weapon and Greater version work on Fists.
Are all of these broken? If not, what IS NOT working?

What did not work I stopped using - cause it cost money. Flame Weapon and Bless Weapon it was. GMW looked unharmed (it shows the same attack bonus in log and in character screen) with weapons held in hands, but I did not test it with gloves or fists.

Flame weapon does nothing.. cast it and nothing happens.. and you get the warning when casting it on the companions or wild shape that it is not a melee weapon but still nothing.

Lawful sword, Bless Weapon and Holy sword will sometimes show up on the weapon, sometimes not when cast, and there is no damage.. only the vfx fires.

The rest of the spells will have to be tested but those are the major ones and in my oppinion, is enough to take the "fix" back out and rework it.

Just tested flame weapon on my spiritshaman - as a spell the duration works exactly as it should (caster lv 9 ->9min).
(worked on a staff and (cast again) also on fists.)


Did another test with a bless weapon wand (as the only buff on a +4 weapon).
Worked fine for me,
however the vfx did disappear quickly and kept reappearing for a second occasionally and the duration was somewhat random from 8 ~12 minutes. (made 3 tries: 12,8,10 min.)

It doesn't work at all for my spirit shaman or my druid .. not on weapons and not on spirit companion.

@Duster

GMW works fine.

Holy Sword can be cast, VFX fires, but does literally nothing. I didn't check the duration, because...well...it does nothing :D.

Same story with Bless Weapon: exactly the same problem as Holy Sword. Lawful Sword is similarly broken.

For me (playing a druid), flame weapon works only if I have less than X buffs on me (not sure what's the X number). Past that number, it doesn't work. Also, the caster is always the target so I cannot buff my companion with it.

^^^That number of buff is for sure 11. After the 11th buff they no longer will cast onto your weapon or what not.

Made another test with a buff-char.
As i casted 8 buffs, then a bless weapon wand it worked.
Casted 2 more buffs on him then a flame weapon wand and both effects vanished. :roll:

Yeah that is another thing too. Here for anyone that cares here is the link of what I found out testing it one day. Rasael and Duster are now aware of it I am sure just putting it up for the players who follow this to see too and maybe that will help them understand it.

Also it seems Flame weapon when working now multiplies on critical attacks too. I was fighting some trolls for fun since I could with little buffs and I noticed when I was doing Critical hits that the fire damage was up in the 20s..........
