Darkling Weapon messed up?!?

Unread post by Steve »

I noticed this before, but now I caught it:

Darkling Weapon is stacking options, and, the cooldown on the Feat/icon no longer works. I also checked the Combat Log and all added dmg types fire/cold/electircal, are actively causing dmg.

I have another toon with Anointed Weapon, and the issue is not occurring.

BTW, it doesn't always happen. Which makes it even more...annoying!

I wasn't able to reproduce it despite all the dirty tricks i know.
If that happens to you again, can you please try to recollect what you did step by step?

I also posted about it here:

When using Darkling Weapon feat for a WoD, if you apply the Lightning effect/dmg to the weapon, it creates the electricity VFX and adds the dmg to the weapon correctly.

However, after making an Area transition, the VFX turns into the Massive Criticals VFX (the electrical dmg does stay on the weapon, so that's good).

For the love of those that like 'lectricity effects, is there a code line that can be investigated as to why after transitions the VFX does a switcheroo?!?

Cheers.
I didn't do anything special. Essentially, I select Lighting dmg, the VFX and the enchantment apply at first, but after a transition, it turns the VFX to the Massive Crit VFX, and never goes back to the Electricity VFX on further transitions, or whatever, until the Darkling Weapon effect ends, and I reapply. But then this problem will occur again after the next transition.

I also apply this Darkling Weapon to a warhammer. Could that be the missing detail?

Yeah, i understand the VFX part. As soon as all the VFX are reapplied on switching area, it can be faulty.
But properties sticking to weapon is something different and i wasn't able to reproduce it myself. Though, it's here as i believe we will find out eventually :)
