3.02 Fellstroke Ambushing tooltip

[PX1player]

Not sure whether its missing something.

Ambushing (Passive) reads +25% damage, Self

No conditions or anything.

 

I remember in the past it said something about first attack?

bump

I don't even think it works at all.

I see no difference in damage between that and a similarly enchanted normal pistol, on any attack.

also tested against ducanale, and every time each of them crits, ducanale always does more damage.

at least fellstroke has the stealth bonus working.

Ambush means 25% dmg when you attack from stealth or during the first 2s of the combat.

[Guest]

Yeah, it shows up in the combat log. Since damage applies is a random number within two parameters, it's almost impossible to tell whether or not the bonus is actually applied, but I can confirm that the attack is flagged.

[Ichthyic]

yes, it shows up in the combat log. 

No, it does not appear to actually add damage.

that is the problem.

 

[Guest]

Since damage is a random number, how would you be able to show this?

[Ichthyic]

no, damage is NOT random, it's a range.

if after repeated attempts you do not see ANY relative increase in damage, that makes it pretty clear.

you get that, right?



 

[Guest]

*sigh*

 

Yes, random within a range. If the the lower end of that range is 10 and the log shows a 13, and it flags Ambush damage, did you roll at 13 and Ambush is broken or did you roll a 10 and it worked?

 

Since Ambush is also happening with other things (like a sneak attack), I have no idea how one would show that it isn't being applied, but if you think you've figured out a way to prove that it isn't, I can't wait to see your evidence.

[Kaylon]

The only way to prove it doesn't work is to calculate the min damage you can do with ambush and then post a screen where you do less damage than that. You can't prove a thing based on impressions.

[Boeroer]

On the other hand - you could prove that it works if you'd post a screenshot where the damage with Fellstroke is higher than the estimated max damage without ambush.

 

So... who's faster?

[Guest]

Ithythic could just post his evidence that it doesn't. Seems to me that would justify keeping this thread in the bug reporting section.

[QuiteGoneJin]

Still bugged?

[Guest]

No one ever showed that it was.
