Eviscerate stack/damage conversion.

Post by Hinty » Tue Jan 18, 2022 5:15 pm

Description
==========
My char with 3 levels in Invisible Blade is not taking number of stacks into account nor rolling for damage when using eviscerate.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
Create character with 3 levels in IB and attempt to use Eviscerate.

Expected result
-----------------------

Up to 5 stacks of bleed converted into damage amounting to 1d3 per stack. Targets with 2 stacks should take 2-6 damage, Targets with 6 should take 5-15 and be left with 1 stack remaining.

Actual result
-------------------

Whether the target has 2 stacks or 6 all stacks on the target are removed and 4 damage is taken.

Going to need more information to look into this. Combat logs, screenshots of the weapon, information about active effects etc.

Should have occurred to me to check with a different weapon. Switched to a Bronze light flail and it seems to be working correctly.

I was using a Spear enchanted with +1 attack, Keen, and 4 Positive Damage. I was getting 4 magic damage every time I used Eviscerate and assumed that that was the Eviscerate damage, clearly not, I assume elemental damage on weapons is turned into magic damage? Will watch the physical damage output for a while, it didn't look like the numbers were high enough, but I will double check.

Build at the moment is Barb5/Cav/4/IB3


Edit: Yeah it took me all of one Eviscerate with the spear ignoring the 4 magic damage to notice the physical damage was increased. Guess i was just seeing the low rolls before. The damage IS applying accurately.

It is still removing ALL stacks however, perhaps that is intentional, but it does not read that way to me on the ability description.

It's supposed to be purely physical damage. I'm gonna have a look tomorrow :)

The essence damage should be working properly now.

Can confirm, positive essence damage is being converted into positive damage.
