some infils on excal are using the xbow ( that is supposed to have an effect while equipped only ) which allows you to have a spirit damage add.

message on damage add " spiritual energy lashes out ... "


now they equip the xbow - get the damage add . then switch back to melee - and still have the damage add.

not sure if this gets fixed in later patches, but can this be seen as an exploit or not ?

i belive this to be lame ( either that their using it , or that i can't )

imo this should be ceased at once or be reported as exploiting...

your friendly neighbourhood elf out.

no, because as far as i see its not a charge, ie doesnt need recharging, its not a proc as it says nothing about "when you strike an opponent" and you should lose the effect when you switch to swords. i think the issue is people arent losing the effect.

Bug, one that caused alot of fuss on VN a few months back before it was patched.
Even the INF team lead was screen-shotted exploiting it :)

Well, it's an intresting one. The description says while the item is being worn. It's debatable that if you put it in your ranged slot that its actually being worn - example being putting a weapon in there it appears on your back.

arguably then any arti or item with say +cap hp or str ( ie. Traitors ) should have the effects active while in 2h. Even tho you dont have it equipped.

It's like saying " i'm pulling mobs from here cause they get stuck on the rock, not my fault, just bad coding "

Infil advantage over NS:
2.5 spec points, should be around 5-10% extra dmg not counting extra procs.
Af buff 15% less dmg
Better haste effect and slower/faster weapons maybe 1-3% more dmg
better styles 5-10% extra dmg
better starting stats around 1-5% better
perma dmg add 10%
so 27%-53% better

= should never ever loose.

Well, you can do the same with battler, traitor's dagger and scepter of the meritorious. Don't see anything wrong with this. You just use the tools that are available to you. I mean, how lame is it for a hunter to carry 1-h battler just for the absorb debuff? I'm contemplating doing it myself!

I could do with range one on clerics too in order to finally be able to solo in df without needing a pally for end. Btw, my end bot just fell asleep :/

lemme put it in terms even 13 year olds like aussie can understand ...


the item isn't supposed to PERMANENTLY have that effect while it's not in use. ok ?

so if they had it in 2h - and it was a charge that lasted 30 seconds or a minute thats FINE. but they dont WASTE a charge timer since its perma on.

whereas if u use battler charge , and wanna fire some tihng else - you will get a nice message saying " you must wait xxx seconds before ... "


if it gets fixed later = good. but atm - people are exploiting the fact it only gets fixed LATER. thus = bad.

understand QQssie

This is all kind of petty. If it's anything like the Longbow version, doesn't it add about 6 damage?
