Bug Alert: Non-functioning parts of Sorceror Capstone

[bobbryan2]

Did you ever take a math class? A couple hundred mm's is probably not enough to determine if 18% or 21% is present. Plus no one has really posted a clear picture of their method or results. Therefore, the comments by posters that the critical chance is also not working though possibly (and imo probably also true ) is nonetheless not really verified. At least not in my eyes.

I still see you posting inaccurate math information. It's good to know you continue to post about things you don't really know. If you did indeed take a math class, you didn't take enough from it.

Let me ask you this. If you had a spell that did 50-100 damage, and you had an enhancement that did 200% increase in damage... how many times would you have to cast it to find out if it worked?

The answer is not 1000, or 2000, or 3000 with however % of certainty.

The answer is once.

If you don't see why that is, then you're not understanding the problem. If normal magic missile can only do 4-5 damage, then you can quickly tell if something is modifying them with such little variance.

does the +10% dmg work?

"NEW - The Sorcerer Capstone, Bloodline of Power, currently does not stack with other sorcerer enhancements that amplify spell damage, critical hit frequency, or critical hit damage. It does increase the effectiveness of damaging spells that do not have sorcerer enhancements to modify them (such as Disintegrate or Chill Touch), or if the caster does not possess enhancements that modify the spell being cast."

So is it fixed?

[Morosy]

It's been fixed, yes. But this thread was over a year old, and the capstone was instead changed to 20% bonus to damage on any spell that could be empowered. Any critical modifiers were taken out.

This thread really confused me until I saw that this is the last post date "11-17-2009, 03:56 AM" before it was bumped.
