Mighty Blade feat and AoE

Hi everyone,

I was playing a bit on Preview to see what Powers will be influenced with putting points into Mighty Blade.
If someone has time to double check it would be appreciated.

At-Wills that are AoE:
  • Reaping Strike
  • Wicked Strike
If you put points into Mighty Blade the tooltip will show the increase.
--------------------------------

Encounters that are AoE:
  • Not so Fast
  • Mighty Leap
  • Roar
  • Punishing Charge
  • Grand Fissure
Punishing Charge and Grand Fissure will NOT show the change in tooltip if you put points into Mighty Blade, but they are affected by it later in the calculation.
--------------------------------

Dailies that are AoE:
  • Spinning Strike
  • Avalanche of Steel
  • Slam
Slam will NOT show the change in tooltip if you put points into Mighty Blade, but it is affected by it later in the calculation.
---------------------------------------

All other At-Wills/Encounters/Dailies are Single Target and are not affected by Mighty Blade

-----------------------------
To summarize what is important:
Hidden Daggers and Weapon Master's Strike are not AoE attacks and they don't benefit from Mighty Blade.




Additional notes:
  • Last hit of Sure Strike should be an AoE but I will need a confirmation on this. If it is then it's not affected by Mighty Blade per my tests. Unless there is some kind of condition that will trigger the AoE. If yes, please tell me so I can test it.
  • I'm unsure how to test the IBS AoE if a target is killed. Ideas would be welcome. Re-read the tooltip, there is no AoE when target is killed, only the Mark is added.

    It's worth to test so that other people would know.
    If there is a document that we could all refer to please tell us so that we can stop testing. And if you did some tests of your own I would love to see your results.

    He is referring there to general stuff and he missed the At-Wills that are buffed by Mighty Blade. So maybe @thefabricant should re-check his results.

    That is true, but with all these tests that I did (and it took me my whole day to do that so telling me it's pointless is rather...discomforting) I wanted to confirm that.
    There a lot of people that come and go in this game. Things get buried, or posted in different places. Not to mention every new build of the game can make something more broken then it already is or veeeeery rarely fix something.
    So test are needed always. Unless cryptic opens its math for the community.

    No, this was recently changed, i remember bilethorn scaled with the power being used but now checking that on preview neighter Lightning or bilethorn are affected by mighty blade in AOE's, like i said, preview, live may still be that way, probably we will be seeing some WE rework continuation soon =)

    Sorry, I missed the preview server part and I was under the impression you did a test with Act. Despite you and Sharpedge notes, some people, me included, feel that Mighty Blade work with WMS, which could be perhaps our senses playing tricks. This is the reason i wanted to see the logs.
  • vida44vida44 Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 667 Arc User
    I had no reason to run ACT for this. It's really a simple test.

    1) Go on preview. Use a respec. Choose Swordmaster.
    Put feat points like this


    2) Put power points until you reach WMS and make sure you use these useless Class Feats (by useless I mean those that will not interfere with the test)


    3) Remove all companions and all your gear, mounts also. Strip your character naked.

    4) Buy the Test Weapon with fixed damage from the Woundrous Bazaar and equip it. (preview only)

    5) Hit the dummy to see how much damage you are doing. One swing. Stop. Then another swing and stop. You can repeat that process until you are sure it is the same value every time.

    6) Now that you have that covered put a point(s) into Mighty Blade.

    7) Repeat step 5

    8) If no change that means it's not affecting the power.

    ;)

    In Iron Vanguard path, Front Line Surge is buffed by Mighty Blade.

    Okay, my friend and I have the same ability level, same gearscore, same weapon, even enchantment (trans light)
    We made 10 fbi, party with the same members.

    Using the same powers, the only difference: might bade.

    5 times he beat me for over 150 million.
    So I switched the load out to might blade, and the result was the same damage.

    we need to test everytime they release a new module, patch notes cover big changes, now on mod 11b, it seems to work.

    if someone could test it again, use light and steel blitz

    Testing needs to be done in controlled enviroment. Those runs could've gone in any direction when it come to DPS. It all depends on multiple factors. Who hit something first, critted in the right moment and so on. Plus it doesn't have to be a GWF Power that is affected but the AoE arch from the lightning. That is worht exploring in any case. When I have time (which will not be soon) I can test it out. ;)
