Battle Wizzard Beam stuff incorrect DOT

As seen, the 2 staffs are almost the same, one with vs infantry and crit chance, and the other is with infantry vs skaven (it is tested on the chaos dummy, so the vs race doesnt matter - should not at least)

How can one deal the same DOT after a crit, and the other increased damage to DOT after crit? Why falling back to 2075 from 2500 at the end of the DOT?

If i remember well, before this path with only 10% vs infantry on charm the Fire Sword dealt 1350 dmage on DOT after using charged attack. now it deals 1225. Push stab as well.

Fire walk dealt once 1350 DOT, then 1225. Was the 1350 a crit?

talents: 1-3-3-1-3-3

Hunter activates with the first staff and apparently crits don’t affect DoT directly. My BW is without any crit properties or related talents melee or ranged.

Edit: dunno if this happens for fire walk, but your equipped weapon determines the ranged attack damage. Throw a fireball and switch to melee before impact and you get dmg according to the melee properties and can proc swift slaying or other crit procs.

Lol, thx. I didn’t know that I have a passive on that stuff which I didn’t roll. I made a few staffs for testing on modded, all was with equalizer. I guess the patch messed up again this too, like after patch I had no equipped frame, just the basic one.

@Fatshark_Hedge and what about the skill’s DOT? I definately remember as it was 1350 dmg/tick like as the conflags. I changed nothing in the talent tree nor the 10% infantry damage on charm

Just did a quick test and sure enough equipped item does affect the DoT from ult. Could be it’s not the properties of the weapons that are the whole reason, but I got:

  • Melee 1250 with no properties and no Enhanced Power (all the rest have Enhanced Power talent)
  • Melee 1350 with vs Chaos
  • Melee 1350 with no vs properties
  • Ranged 1400 with no vs properties (Skaven & Armored actually, but unarmored Chaos dummy)
  • Ranged 1575 with vs Chaos & Infantry

All of the above had vs Chaos & Infantry on Charm.

I suspected this might happen and sure it did. If only I could remember this when playing.
