Ego Blades Bug

With criswolf09's alongside testing, we discovered the following bug:

Ego Blade Breach applies it's Paranormal Damage Buff separately to it's dual bladed version 'Id Blade Breach'.

This means that both buffs can be stacked past the intended 3 stacks based on the number of players attacking a single target:

Example: criswolf and I managed to apply up to six stacks of each debuff by ourselves. This worked effectively to amplify the damage.

Below is a picture of the both debuffs stacked side by side by my character. Each stack could go beyond 3 stacks maximum with another player involved:

    That's correct, we also discovered that the Ego Blade Breach debuff ( from Single TK Blade) version of the power could stack up to 6 times along another version called Id Blade Breach (the version of the power with two TK Blades)​​

    Considering Melee TK Blades' really sad state, this is more of a blessing for the time being​​

    How bout they Review some more sets that need updating (And making the game-play better) then prioritizing profit.
    Want to get to know me a bit better, Click me and take a read of My Dragon Profile Page, it's a bit dated but still relevant.

    I take this quote from a review that I agree with.

    "customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."

    I would imagine there is some sort of review coming soon, can't say for what (obvs), but the problem with this particular bug is that it also means magic and dimensional damage from other players can be greatly super boosted.

    I definitely agree that TK Blades should be updated and given all the current melee single blade and dual blade variants they are lacking.

    You are talking about a really unpopular powerframe
    during cosmics me and another person were the only melee TK users, and I hardly see anyone else

    currently the debuff is using old mechanics

    It's not about the power variety here
    TK Blades damage is overwelming compared to other rapture mechanics like Single Blade
    not to mention the whole STAT Scaling shanenigans along with a toggle which hasn't been updated

    Range TK blade with TK Assault and TK Lance have better DPS than their melee counterparts​​

    The damage debuff applies to Paranormal Damage, which is more than just Ego, which is what I was getting at.

    As a TK Blade user myself, I completely understand how lacking the mini set is within Telekinesis compared to the more "Conventional" Weaponry power sets.

    Whilst yes, a damage boost is necessary, there are complications such as Ego Weaponry being able to apply a self heal whilst attacking, but again, that's only one power.

    All I'm doing with the OP is drawing attention to a bug which could cause problems even though hardly anyone uses the TK Blade set.

    I don't recall seeing this since I hardly encounter any Ego Blade builds, or if I'm playing as one (Alex) their isn't anyone else.
