WARNING: 1 Artificier splash may not do what you want

[Raoull]

Just a heads up to those folks who may end up in the same position as me.

I designed my build to be a versatile melee for end game (yes, I realize melees are inherently gimp in endgame now), and Artie 1 looked like a very tempting combination of unlocking UMD, Magical Training, and Wand & Scroll Mastery.

But you only get two of those three. Wand and Scroll Mastery, while a Tier 1 ability, requires lvl 2 Artificier. I didn't notice it until actually taking the Artie level. When the expansion was on Lam, this was not the case.

But now, apparently, Arties aren't as good with Wands/Scrolls as clerics.....

While it seems to me that this has to be a bug (and I even submitted it), we haven't heard either way from Turbine, and it is not listed on the brand new Known Issues list on Lam.


I'd love to hear from Turbine before I go and redesign my toon....

The level requirement is not working as intended! It's a relic of a previous iteration of the tree, where W&S Mastery was a Tier 2 ability.

A fix has been made internally, and will appear in a future patch (likely after 19.2).

Awesome, thanks for the reply.

I can easily wait for a bug fix, I was just worried that I'd need to rebuild... and the not knowing was the worse of all 3 options (bug / not bug / unknown).

"bug" is the best option, thanks!

I think we've posted previously that the enhancement change option should be dropped to 0pp and 0AS until these bugs are fixed.
