this is a little pre emptive, but I've just finished another level 150 project, a lf tg, mr. morlock in usclosednet hc

 

I use ds modded for wounds rather than jab since I didn't have space for tactics.

 

the video is being uploaded to youtube, but it's failed twice now for some reason

 

 

will keep trying until it's up...but at over 1.3gb, it's a hefty upload

 

perhaps I can help you out with any questions....I know lf is an oft neglected aspect, since everyone is wildly in love with sw...I would say 70/100 people would go with a dg/sw hybrid of some sort, 29/100 going with pure dg and 1/100 trying out some variant of lf

 

yes, that makes us weird people

 

there's not a whole lot of info on lf, so ask away and hopefully my month's worth of experience can help you

Well, soldats, maybe you can help me with my LF TG conundrum!

 

Got any idea why my Furious Emblazer is displaying as pure magic damage, and not fire?

 

Does your battery have any impact on Combat Arts, or just the left arm shots? I stuck a lava rock in my battery - I assumed the conversion would apply to any attack from the left arm as it would, logically, be powered by the battery - but Furious Emblazer is still showing as 100% magic damage.

 

I have a magic pearl in my weapon but couldn't see how that would affect left arm CAs and in any case, it's only 34% conversion.

 

edit: Hmm, grabbed a weapon with fire conversion in it... furious emblazer switches to 100% fire. Damage changes according to equipped weapon also. Fiddling with the battery does... nothing I could spot Gah, stupid TGs.

so far as I know and most everyone will probably agree...

 

any elemental converters that are SOCKETED only affect weapon based attacks, be it ca or left click. what you're seeing now is a display error. any non weapon based Combat Arts...you'll notice that their dmg is something like 353-353...it's static. these are NOT affected by socketed elemental pieces such as lava chunks, magic pearls, poison fangs, ice shards.

 

as for the battery arm, I'm not sure if any elemental sockets affect the dmg output of regular battery attacks, ie 'shots' from the arm. any Combat Arts cast from that arm shouldn't be affected by elemental sockets

Hrm. The displayed static damage of f.emblazer changes when you change weapon. I'll have to have a play and see if the damage done changes or if it is just a display thing.

 

If elemental sockets in the battery don't affect left arm CAs or normal shots... why on earth did they put an elemental socket in the set battery? I can understand it appearing on random batteries you find, just like finding +capricious hunter aspect on seraphim only gear etc, but the set items?

 

They need a text log option for combat, so you can try a few things then go see what actually happened
