Additional Monk glitches

[Vissarion]

I read over the thread that detailed the HW enhancement bonus bug, and didn't see this problem there, so figured that it deserved another thread.

Basically, on top of the enhancement bonus glitch, there is an additional glitch concerning the Dhakaani Vigor airship buff, which confers +2 stacking damage to melee attacks. This glitch has several parts.

A) It does not stack with the Monk passive past life, so there is only a net increase of 1 damage.

B) If you change Handwraps, either to crafted or non-crafted, the buff is lost, leaving only the +1 passive past life.

C) The buff remains on your buff bar, but even if you change back to the original Handwraps, it does not come back in actuality.

D) Using the workaround for the enhancement bonus glitch does not work for the buff glitch, as far as I can tell. Tried toggling Power Attack, drinking a heroism pot, switching to Goggles of Insight, and switching into crafted +2 attack goggles. Although these will (inconsistently!) fix the enhancement bonus problem, it does nothing for the airship buff.

I imagine this is an additional consequence of the enhancement glitch itself, but I seriously hope that it is fixed to not only allow the airship buff to persist across multiple handwraps after switching, but also to allow the passive past life to stack with the buff.

Also bug-reported ingame, but figured it could use some publicity on the forums as well.

Amazing. Good research, incredibly embarrassing problems.

Not only embarrassing for Turbine, but also incredibly vexing for me, as I have three handwraps users. :(

An update:

Apparently there are more bugs. These are the other ones I've stumbled across:


When you receive offensive bard songs like Inspire Courage, switching handwraps will negate the bonuses while leaving the icon in the buff bar
Crafted handwraps are not applying DR-bypassing properties, such as good. (EG, Holy Handwraps of Vampirism do not break trash devil DR).


Much like the airship buff bug, there is no way to regain the bard buffs after switching handwraps, outside of having the bard refresh the buffs.

These bugs were not bug reported because the ingame bug report feature is not currently working for me, but I'll try again later.

Try that link there. I had that pointed out to me when I couldn't access the in game bug reporter. I'm really hoping most of these issues get solved for U10. I've got numerous wrap users and it's actually starting to impact my build choices. My next monk TR is being modified so it plays better with the bugs.

Thanks, bug submitted.

I know what you mean, though. I decided I'd give one of my newer handwraps users a try to get him flagged for Shroud, and I crafted handwraps to bypass the existing glitches, only to come across these new glitches. :/

The problem is currently not fixed on the build up on Lammania for U10, but hopefully future builds will address it before Live.

I'm almost 100% sure that all the problems come from the same source - it's a pattern of DDO not checking static buffs to your unarmed damage after the first application. It's annoying and I use shortswords at the moment because of it but I hope it's a 'minor' thing to actually fix for U10.
