legendary weap damage and debuff

[Voltage]

I've been playing about with some of the new ToA stuff on my reaver and scout

so far I've got a heat leg slasher on my scout, and a spirit leg flex on my reaver

only thing is, after the debuff/dd proc goes off, I dont seem to be noticing any increase in damage - IE, you hit with your flail for 100 (-20), you hit for 60(-12) then next swing I expect to look like "you hit for 119 (-1)" but instead is still 100 (-20)

have I got the wrong idea about how these weapons work?

also not noticing any increase in soulrending spells (spirit damage) after debuff, or leviathian (cold) after a cold debuff weapon if someone else uses it.

oO

did a similar test with belcar [spirit cabb]. He debuffed a mobs spirit resist and dmg didn't change, ths assume that it related to the armour of the nmy not there resists and isn't affected by debuffs..at least not in PvE from that test

Legendary Weapons don't debuff Melee damage in PvE, only magic damage.

Simply said, they don't work the way in PvE as they do in RvR.

In RvR, after a debuff, you'll notice a big increase of damage with melee AND magic, resist wise.

I thought to start with that they just didnt work in PvE as you say, but I havent noticed any damage increase in rvr either.

Will do some more detailed testing tonight, and try to get some screenies too

hulks are definitly vulnerable to energy, think neutral to cold, but been some time since I tried that

 

[Marath]

Most things are vulnerable to cold in there but there are a few exeptions.

At least Nightmares vere taking it badly from heat weapons.

yes you do, massive bonuses against all mobs, i even managed to solo a red succubus today with no pet!

and in reply to the original post: i have hardly noticed ANY effect of the debuff of LW's on most mobs corresponding to actual damage, although cold casters i have been with have said their damage has increased on the mobs after my cold weapon debuff has procced - however the effect in RvR is very noticable.

just now for example against a random troll:

You attack xxxx with your falchion and hit for 166(-3) damage!
You hit for 77(-6) damage!
You attack xxxx with your falchion and hit for 241(+30) damage!

my damage variance is pretty bad (only 29+8 slash atm with LW's) but that is a noticeable damage increase, even against a guy with little/no cold resist to begin with...
