Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

It seems the new anoint weapon with 10 min cooldown and duration can be applied at least twice sometimes, because the cooldown resets often before the duration ends. If this is not intended, it would probably be the easiest solution to revert to the old anoint weapon. There this bug never occured.

I can reduce the overlap window (which only lasts 1 min atm) if that troubles people but it was intentionally done for convenience, typically to ensure that you'll get your anointed weapon during all the fight vs a boss.

i use this and 15 second overlap seems good enough. if your timer is low might consider that before charging the boss.

Oh sorry, my mistake. So it is no bug after all . If its a convenience thing, i still find the older anoint weapon much more convenient.

I appreciate the drive to improve the game, but after much testing i come to the conclusion that i dont like this change.

I do not see any advantages and only disadvantages to change it from a long term buff to a short term buff.

-The overlap damage is exploitable to be applied twice if timed correctly for a boss fight.
-if it runs out during a fight there is no reason to apply it again.(eg if a fight lasts 2min and you use anoint 1, you would be better of not activating it during a fight)
-if you want to use it to the full extend you need to time the buff duration with other buffs, and 10 min does not align with many things.
-if you wanna use it in an extended boss fight you need to wait until its over, to apply it again for a full 10min duration.
-it is still lost on a disconnect.


But for me it is not fun to use it any more, since i do not want to keep track of the additional timer for so little damage. The effort is not worth the benefit now.

Just my oppinion

The past version was much more exploitable. It reached a point where something had to be done about it.
