April 27, 201510 yr Nice find! Does this interact at all with Envenomed Strike? Edited April 27, 201510 yr by MoxyWoo
April 27, 201510 yr Nice find! Does this interact at all with Envenomed Strike? The Wounding Shot ? It's either Wounding Shot, or Envenomed Strike. I wonder how Blunderbuss interacts with Driving Flight. Probably only effects like Combusting Wounds trigger. Character backgrounds explored (Callisca)
April 27, 201510 yr Ah was curious if it stacked on with Wounding shot DoT since sometimes things get overridden or if the other threads on the Blunderbuss + Envenomed have been off. 1) Envenomed stacks with all the other DoTs 2) Envenomed procs 6 times but only 1 DoT is applied 3) Envenomed procs 6 times and stacks. Mainly wondering if 1, and 2 or 3 apply.
April 27, 201510 yr Does it really matter if it stacks, though ? From what I recall, Adra Dragon has 300something endurance. Closer to 400, but the trick is making the projectiles hit. Suddenly Accurate Wounding Shot looks very interesting. Edited April 27, 201510 yr by b0rsuk Character backgrounds explored (Callisca)
April 27, 201510 yr Author think I did a test on envenomed strike - don't think it cares about the equipped weapon at all .. It works more like a DOT damage spell (you cast it at range not apply it with melee swing in melee range) with its own damage range that might scale with character level .. Didn't really test it but 90% you cannot apply it 6 times using blunderbuss like you can with wounding shot .. And deep wounds will also not stack 6 times - it simply overwrites itself (this I did actually test with blunderbuss) .. Did a quick test on envenomed weapon - like with deep wounds - there can be only one DOT tick (longest duration one overrides the rest) .. Maybe Wounding shot triggering 6 parallel DOTs is a bug ? Accurate Wounding Shot talent states that it increases the accuracy of Wounding Shot by ten BUT the modifier is only applied to the Hobbled status effect roll (maybe bug), not the actual attack itself. Doesn't help .. We're trying to kill the target here not hobble it .. Edited April 27, 201510 yr by peddroelm
April 27, 201510 yr I wonder how Blunderbuss interacts with Driving Flight. Probably only effects like Combusting Wounds trigger. Currently bugged :/
April 27, 201510 yr The Accurate Wounding Shot has already been reported as a bug. Speaking of hobbling, it occurred to me Ranger is really good at debuffing Reflex ! 1. (Accurate) Wounding Shot - Hobbled 2. Binding Roots - Stuck, and it targets the already debuffed reflex ! 3. Stunning Arrows - Stunned Simply great to set up a target for wizards and druids.

April 27, 201510 yr Author The Wounding Shot has already been reported as a bug. You mean the accurate wounding shot thing right ? Problem with no DEV confirming it as a BUG - it just might be working as designed .. Edited April 27, 201510 yr by peddroelm

April 28, 201510 yr Hmm, this got me thinking. Does it work with the Goldpact talent then? Burn DoT on it and if its similar to wounding shot for mechanics, would actually be a decent hit via Blunderbuss.
