SW Offhand critical severity feature not working as expected

nisckis

I have tested all artifact modification features and all of them add the correct amount to your current value, all of them except Critical severity.

Character critical severity before setting the critical severity



Character critical severity after setting the critical severity (+10%)


Expected result was 106% critical severity.
Obtained result is 103.5% critical severity.

This is a problem with ALL offhand weapons, no matter the class. I have reported it, there have been posts on both xbox and playstation reporting this, and no acknowledgement or response from devs. Undermountain was released in april and it is now less than a week from september, can we please get some word on this issue after 4 months?

Regardless right or wrong, it is at the moment calculated as +10% of the base Critical Severity instead of adding 10%.

75% x (1 + 10%) + 21% = 103.5%

I dont believe its off base, since my warlock has 99.5% and only get 6.5% 106% total. My cw gets 8% from it with 117% total 125%. My Cleric has 86% and gets 9% from weapon for 95%. It's all over, almost random.

If you take away the offhand and check critical severity, you should see:

Critical Severity: T% (A% + B%)

What is A? What is B?

After you put back the offhand,

what is A? What is B?

I guess my base just decreases depending on the more buffs I have then.

The same thing happens here.

@plasticbat Hi, I noticed that it is only affecting the left part of the sum, that's the reason a tried to stated that is the only one that doesn't add to the total amount, like all other features do.

I believe you are correct here as the offhand buff brings my base from 75% to 82.5%. However, as far as I can tell, these might the only items in the game that follow the equation put out. If I am wrong in that regard, I apologize, but potions, class features, elixirs, food buffs and other items (Chain of Scales) do not calculate their effect this way. That being the case, until we hear from a developer whether this is a unique game item and WAI, or if it is a bug, we must assume the latter and keep reporting the issue.
