Swashbuckling not working with Brillant Crescent... (for Devs)

[Damian]

Brilliant Crescent is a sickle (light weapon, raid) and doensn't seem to work with Swashbuckling. I tried another basic sickle bought on the auction house and it worked fine, as well as another light hammer raid weapon i have.

could you please fix this ASAP?

It's a known issue. Unfortunately not all known issues are fixed asap, some are not fixed for decades.
If this sickle was an integral part of your build, you should reconsider your build. Maybe use that raid light hammer you have instead.

If you read the description for the item, you will see you are actually wielding a broken staff, a tribute to https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Shining_Crescents. It almost seems like it should be used with acrobat or henshin trees.

Wow, would you believe that I'm pretty sure this was broken because it was erroneously getting caught up in the checks we used to prevent the original Shining Crescents from working as a Swashbuckling weapon? Ironic, right? This is fixed internally and will be in an upcoming patch.

Excellent news, thank you!

Absolutely unsurprised.

Maybe after the stat refactoring is finished, some coders (not devs) can go through and create a better item property tagging system than checking the item name field.

It was checking Combat_TwoWeaponOffHandBonus :) This is a property set on items that can be dual-wielded to determine the bonus they give in the offhand. Items that are two-handed do not have this, because they can't go in the offhand. Since the sickle was set to ignore the offhand, it didn't have this property set, so I had to give it an offhand bonus as if it were actually one-handed but keep the irregular precluded slot (Weapon2) the same so it still only fits in the mainhand.

That at least makes a modicum of sense. Does the tempest dex to-hit and damage enhancement also check that field to make sure it only applies to dual-wieldable weapons?

Also, while you're looking at these, is it possible to fix the offhand version accepting sentience? I don't know why anyone would do that, but if they did it would presumably become unequipable, having both 'no main hand use' and 'no offhand use' properties.

As a matter of fact, it does, so that did also get fixed. And that's a good catch on the sentience flag, also fixed.
