warforged great weapon aptitude bugged?

[chester99]

I have two ranks of this on my greatsword wielding wf favored soul.... and it doesn't appear to do anything. Is this a known issue? Or is the ehancement just really, really, rediclously unlikely to proc?

(tested with holy, good, banes, elementals... nothing ever goes off on the thf damage)

I've had the same thoughts, It appears to me as a visual effect only. The description of warforged great weapon aptitude is vague at best.

"Glancing blows produced by your two-handed weapon attacks get an additional increase to their chance of producing magical weapon effects such as flaming."

Additional chances? Really, with no percentages to support it?

I see it working.

I have 3 tiers; its hard to spot - look for the string of numbers which has a surprisingly low base. On my bard, I hit between 50 and 65 with my first number, and then 2 other numbers (holy, acid.) Every so often (although its rarer than I would like) I see a 25+3+2 instead of a 55+3+2, which means my glancing blow (a 25 damage base) also hit with holy and acid.

but are you sure you didn't get that from having the thf line?

Thats a good point, hadn't though about that.

what is the state of the THF feats themselves proc'ing additional "flaming/good/bane etc" damage? I thought I read somewhere that was in the works, but I've also never seen that in game.

Well its either the THF feats or WF aptitude which is working, so if WF aptitude isn't working, then the THF ones are :)

how pessimistic:D:D:D
why is it either or and not both? :p
only way we'll find out is to have twf spec''ed wf take the aptitude line and take a 2h weapon out for a spin and also have a thf spec''ed wf remove aptitude line and go for a spin
both cases MUST eliminate the use of kensei line or that'll add in more variables xD

It seemed like untill I got I2HF, I never procced a single thing on glancing blows. Basic 2HF and 1-2 ranks of WF great weapon aptitude and nothing. I started watching pretty intently for even one ..

Got I2HF and boom, started seeing them.

No kensai or berserker enhancements involved. No other variations tested.
