The (New and Improved) Hey Lynnabel Thread

[Firebreed]

I have the heroic Ring of Power, Slave Lord's crafted ring and Slave Lord's Beauty Slippers with Slave Lord's Might added to all three. I do not seem to be getting the set bonus.

When I take off the Red Fens Claw the set symbol appears, but the melee power bonuses do not.

The set bonus is rather lousy BtW, consider giving it a tiny boost...

If I understand correctly what your'e saying is that:

- There are no bugs with the red fens "Vulkoor's Might".
- When you have both Vulkoor's Might and the 3-piece Slave Lord's Might sets equipped, Vulkoor's Might suppresses Slave Lord's Might on 3 fronts: a) the set symbol for Slave Lord's Might is hidden (not WAI), b) you don't get +dmg from Slave Lord's Might (WAI as Vulkoor's Might grants +3 dmg instead of the +1 of Slave Lord's Might), and c) you don't get the Melee/Ranged Power from Slave Lord's Might (not WAI).
- When you take off Vulkoor's Might, a) is fixed, and c) isn't fixed. What happens with b)? Do you get the +1 to damage from Slave Lord's Might after unequipping Vulkoor's Might?

If I understood the above correctly, I have some questions for you (I don't have the slave lords sets crafted to test myself sorry):

- We're talking about the heroic sets specifically, yes?
- If you log out and back in while your character is only wearing the Slave Lord's Might set, does it grant all 3 aspects of it (icon, damage, melee power) correctly?

Hey, I have a Legendary Brightbane Emerald (Command +7 effect, insight bonus) in my shield, a Diamond of Diplomacy +20 (competence bonus) in my weapon. Starting completely naked (i.e., nothing equipped of items, weapons, shields, etc). Diplomacy skill is at 40.5.

(1) Equip the shield with the emerald: diplomacy goes to 47.5 (the +7)
(2) Then equip the weapon: diplomacy goes to 59.5 (only +12???)

I would guess that either the type of bonus of the diamond or the legendary brightbane emerald is wrong, I'm guessing the emerald is not insight as advertised.

Not just that: The diamond only gives +19 instead of +20?! Starting naked and just equipping the diamond +20 only increases the skill by +19...

I would be grateful if you could look into this.

Regarding the first part (brightbane & diamond), I can't say this with 100% confidence, but based on my experiences it sounds like there's some user error involved somewhere in there. I say this because the following bug is confirmed, but isn't reflected in your findings:

"Command +X" is bugged. It should add +X Insightful bonus to all CHA skills, but instead of adding the stated X value, it actually adds a higher value (this value, let's call it Y, corresponds to the "Insightful Alluring Skills" bonus of that level, which is the same as the Cannith Crafting Insightful Skill value for said level). This still correctly counts as an Insightful bonus. This affects named items, randomgen items (namely "Celebrated" ones), and the new Brightbane Emeralds (both varieties).

Regarding the diamond only, for some reason many effects are often +/-1 compared to what's advertised, due to some weird fractions (where on earth do they come from?) that don't make sense.

What sort of user error do you mean? I was stripped down nekkid, put on each of the items in sequence. I should get +27, being +20 competence and +7 insightful. I'm only getting +19 when I put both on (and just those two items, otherwise, nekkid as I said). Doesn't get more basic than this...

It's been a few years, but the Ex-adventurer vampires at the end of Sealed in Amber are STILL not Vampires!

They're Humans (and the Monster Manual agrees with that) that happen to absorb negative energy.

They don't seem get the suite of Vampire immunities (haven't tried Finger of Death in heroics, but they're definitely not immune to mind-affecting spells, and could dance just fine)

[rabidfox]

So which is the correct +10% damage for crusade?

This line from the epic destiny itself that would indicate it should effect all damage?


Or this line from the buff bar that indicates that it's only currently working on melee and ranged attacks?


Not sure which way the ability is bugged and/or incorrectly described.

[Merfyn]

Is it just me, or can we no longer remove docents from Artificer pet Iron Defenders? I get the "bind it to you permanently" (even though it already should have been, since it's crafted), the interface jams briefly if I choose "No", or I get an "Inventory Error: You do not own that item" response.

But hey, at least they "fixed" that horrible, game destroying Sonic Blast "bug", amirite?

[L0LL0san]

Please fix PIN, it does nothing If activated while moving, the animation goes off (really slow and not normal as It used to be) but no hit, no damage, nothing. It works normally if standing still (not a good idea to stay still in High reaper content) .

I can't reproduce this with a bow, what weapon are you using?

I wanted to like the Dread sets, but the only Imbue and Tactical DC bonus is the CHA set, and the better Healer one (for many) has INT.

How many people have totally skipped Dread sets entirely?

---------------------

On a side note, the ToEE gutting was brutal. (

Yeah they suck. Still wearing a sharn friends and family set myself. Now with Curse of Dread set, which isn't too bad if you dual wield. May not be possible on a THF build.

But hey, at least they "fixed" that horrible, game destroying Sonic Blast "bug", amirite?

The big problem there was the Archetype itself. It was a design abomination. It made the one useful lowbie Sonic spell, "too useful", so it got nerfed into the floor.

--------------------------------

Also, please find whoever thought "out-of-class" Sub-Classes (more TR/PLs), that aren't compatible with Iconics, was a good plan... and take away their I.D. badge.

Really. It will improve the game.

Correct me if I'm wrong but IIRC FoM protected against web entanglement (like from spider attacks) and I was just entangled in Wrath of the earth by spider while wearing Flightfoot greaves (with perma FoM)

As I recall at some point in the past they changed it to only protect against "magic" effects that affect movement. Web from giant spiders is considered a "natural" effect.

I equiped the topaz of Electrical Resistance 45, and to my surprise, it gave me FIRE resistance. WHAT?

Too busy to read same thread just slightly earlier posts?

Using the Draconic Incarnation epic moment, Dragonform, while using shadow energy as your element will prevent undead characters from self healing for it's duration. This is because of it's 100% negative energy absorption, and it should not be applied to undead characters.

Additional information: The Scale of the Dragon ability, T3 Draconic Incarnation, grants 50% absorption to negative energy and undead are immune to it's absorption effect, which would reduce healing by half. So I am under the assumption the above report for Dragonform preventing self healing for undead is indeed a bug.

[YTSEsoldier]

As the title states, the legendary bright bane emerald is giving a competence bonus to skill as opposed to the listed and what I assume is intended insight bonus. Other Command items I equip (i.e. winer set ring) work correctly. I would put a screenshot but forum wont allow me to unless I upload to an image hosting sight and put link....silly. Please fix emerald. Donkey shorts.
