specific enhancement conversion bug

[LuckyDuck]

[Power:Crafted Sciroccos Dervish B.Scirocco's Dervish: Damage/Endurance.34] doesn't convert as pbaoe category, but as melee. was recently converted to a sciroccos from something completely different (from an uncommon Sleep enh, to a rare sleep category out of set, to a rare type category-quickly landing on rare damage). 

it was originally created (also recently) on the same character converting it.

It converts as melee AoE in category conversion, which can be rare or uncommon
converting it under rarity, it will convert to any uncommon or rare

does "melee aoe" only say "melee" in the drop down selection in the conversion window then? 

[Six-Six]

nope. melee is different, usually pertaining to Single Target Attacks. confusing, I know, but melee Area of Effect can be a radius: Position Based Area of Effect (PBAoE) or a cone.

one thing that sucks, though, is when you convert within category of melee AoE, you have a chance to get Air Burst which has no category even though it's listed as Targeted AoE, and can only be converted under rarity category. Waste of a converter, but it is how it is

I'm. having. problems.

alright but, it didn't say "melee aoe" in the conversion window. It just said melee.

 

even if the more I think about it, I'd rather convert in set for the proc to sell, that doesn't seem right.

It would be interesting to know where you got that expansion from, since I've always seen it as 'Point Blank Area of Effect' across dozens of games including CoH.

This is only true for Air Burst in the level 10-19 range, because there are no other Targeted AoE category enhancements in that level range. At level 20 and above Air Burst will convert within the Targeted AoE category as normal.

@srmalloy from the GMs. when I needed help killing the last creep on a kill all map, they advised to use a Position Based AoE instead of regular attack

update on the original bug. i can't reproduce it again (a day and computer restart after). It now correctly says it's in the "melee aoe" conversion category.

 

client side glitch?
