Bug with CARDIAC range bonus

[VULCAN]

Hi guys,

Maybe a bug with "Cardiac radial Paragon" incarnate. I am testing it on two characters.

1) Range bonus of 20% is not woring on all powers.
I checked on 2 melee cone attacks : Frost (ice melee) and Cleave (axe)
The bonus apply correctly on the range of Frost, but the range of Cleave remain unchanged.
Both attacks are similar, melee with cone and same initial power range
See the printscreen of both powers below.

2) Cardiac Radial provide a 33% bonus on absorb.
I noticed that nothing happen when I use  "Superior gauntlet fist / chance for absorb" gauntlet absorb proc.
Not sure if it s a bug, maybe the bonus work only on real powers and not on proc effect ...

Cardiac and other Alpha Incarnate powers can only boost powers that accept enhancement for whatever the Alpha is trying to boost. 

 

Cleave does not allow slotting for range (most melee attacks do not).  https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=brute_melee.battle_axe.cleave&at=brute

 

Frost, however, does allow slotting for range enhancement.  https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=brute_melee.ice_melee.frost&at=brute

 

Taunt is a ranged attack and most ranged attacks allow range enhancement.  https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=brute_melee.ice_melee.taunt&at=brute

 

(look at the icons at top right of all 3 CoD links)

And procs like +Absorb would never be affected by enhancements, so all are working as intended.

Thanks for answers and clarifications guys.

Check the IO sets sometimes, it helps to understand attack types.

 

Frost is actually a range attack in the Targeted AoE category very much like Fire Ball or Fire Breath

 

Cleave is a melee PBAoE a limited by a cone direction with distance and could be set from 10-360 degrees such as in the case of Whirling Axe or Foot Stomp.
