Tanker Eagles Claw: Not buffing damage

[SableShrike]

Howdy.

 

Not sure if this is new per the last patch or so, but my Eagles Claw is not buffing damage at all.  It shows the power icon in my display, but there is no +33% damage buff when checking combat logs.

 

Tested with Hellions in Atlas Park.

 

Thunder Kick: 384 damage

Thunder Kick with Eagles Claw buff active: 384 damage

 

This has been repeatable for me versus varying enemy levels and types.

Hiya, Redlynne!

 

Your SR/MA inspired me to roll mine, and hence is why I noticed this.

Might be on to something here.  I'm not at high enough level to do pylon testing, but:

It appears in your Combat Attributes ,not in the combat log:

If that's the case, what error of programming is causing the +33% damage buff to appear in the combat attributes but then NOT have that effect show up in the damage dealt reporting in the log?  Something isn't adding up right.

I did some testing in Peregrine Island, and I found the issue.

 

The good news: The damage bonus does take effect!  The not so good news: The 2.5 second delay on the damage bonus doesn't start on activation, it starts on the hit itself.  This results in a delay between the end of Arcanatime and the bonus kicking in.  If you have your next power queued up right after Eagle's Claw, the bonus won't affect it!

 

Edit: If you're going EC->SK->CAK->SK, you still get that bonus on the CAK and second SK.  So its more a matter of timing than losing the bonus.

 

Now that I've seen it in action, I vaguely remember something about this being an issue back in live?
