[CW] Renegade Capstone: Chaotic Nexus

jayrad8

According to the in-game tooltip:

Chaotic Nexus -- You gain 30% additional Armor Penetration and Critical Chance for 10 seconds.

According to ACT parses:

• The issue seems to be that Chaotic Nexus does not apply 30% additional Armor Penetration (Abs_ArmorPen) to players, but is only enabled on NPC entities such as Soul Puppets, Immolation Spirits, Masterwork Iron Golems, etc.
• The 30% Armor Penetration does not appear in the character sheet, whereas the Critical Chance from Chaotic Nexus and Life Steal from Chaotic Fury do appear in the character sheet, further suggesting that the additional Armor Penetration is not working.

Here is an example ACT parse from Chaotic Fury,

Chaotic Fury -- You gain 30% additional Damage and 10% additional Life Steal for 10 seconds,

which works as intended:

• At the time of the proc, you can see that the 30% additional Damage (Physical) and 10% additional Life Steal (Abs_HealthSteal) are both applied to each ally in range, whether NPC or player.
• The Life Steal bonus is easily verfiable as it appears in the character sheet.

You was faster, hehe. Was about to post same thing. Actually, not sure if it should be +30% to RI or +30% to your actual ArP. If it's the second case, then I was getting less than 20% (didn't write it down, but had something in 4400s and was getting 5200s)

Were you using Red Dragon Glyphs? Having your Arp go from 4400 to 5200 (+800) sounds more like glyphs were involved. I don't think the Arp bonus from Nexus can proc on players at all at the moment.

Hm... HAMSTER, might be that. Now I'm confused It wasn't very clear at the beginning because it wasn't exact +800, that's why I though it was Nexus rather than red glyph
So you are saying that it gives no bonus at all?

Yeah maybe give it another look, could be a combination of things but likely not the actual Arp buff from Nexus applying directly to you as it should.

Yes, it seems the Arp bonus does not apply to players, only to NPCs -- I would expect to see a buff of 30% RI in the character sheet or something along those lines if it were working.

This bug still exists, reported back in May.

Nov 24, still bugged!!!
HAMSTER, devs, really, you know where and what exactly is bugged, you cant be so lazy to fix this, facepalm 30% crit - check, 30% resistance ignored - bugged -> fix this stat only, copy code from 30% crit and change crit to RI, cant be so difficult
