Yes, same set minus the staff.

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-12-13 05:41

lol...

And yeah, I was doing 8-10k Heavenly Strikes to Hurkan last night.

**dasva** · 2013-12-13 05:45

Well assuming it's not also lower than ilvl of the avatar as well that comes out to about -128 mab instead of the +108 or +114 it should be lol. I'd put in a bug report. Maybe you can try without at 0 (after bp merits), or with tp yourself

I just entered Abyssea for the first time since the update and noticed this...

This appeared the instant I received visitant status(I didn't /heal). It seems like they start you off with some lights now?

Believe it is part of the anni. campaign they are doing atm.

**Foldypaws** · 2013-12-13 21:34

Did some testing on Eminent pole. All BPs were in my -perp gear (sans staff) on Tunnel Worms Heavenly Strike is 5/5.
Heavenly strike 0 TP me/avatar no weapon: 3175
Heavenly strike 0 TP me/avatar Uffrat +1: 4284
Heavenly strike 0 TP me/avatar Eminent pole 5281
Heavenly strike 98 TP me/ 0 avatar Eminent pole 5281
Heavenly strike 109 TP me/ 0 avatar Eminent pole 5171
Heavenly strike 0TP me/300 TP avatar Eminent Pole 5813

Switched over to 1/5 Windblade and level 0 mobs
Wind Blade 0 TP me/avatar no weapon: 2366
Wind Blade 0 TP me/avatar Uffrat +1: 3192
Wind Blade 0 TP me/avatar Eminent pole 3934
Wind Blade 103 TP/0 TP avatar Eminent pole 3852

Everything lines up for me with it being +114 MAB <100 weilder TP and 108 over it. Not sure how to explain the earlier results.

**NynJa** · 2013-12-13 21:38

There was an emergency maint between that post and yours

**Foldypaws** · 2013-12-13 21:40

Well then it's fixed now.

**jimbobsonofgod** · 2013-12-13 21:41

christ beaten not once but twice @.@

**NynJa** · 2013-12-13 21:42

and will be the first time ever SE has immediately fixed something that is a deterrent to players.

**Foldypaws** · 2013-12-13 21:51

... or I spoke too soon. The issue doesn't appear to be Eminent Pole by itself per se, but rather it's got an interaction with other gear...

When I try Eminent Pole + my normal magical BP gear, I get 1486 damage Heavenly Strikes on level 0 worms...

... and if I take off my hagondes sabots, it goes up to 6125...

For w/e reason, those two pieces of gear don't like each other.

**dasva** · 2013-12-13 21:55

Go go spaghetti code where if you add enough it becomes a minus lol

**Foldypaws** · 2013-12-13 21:57

Can't just be total +MAB though, Balsam staff has more Avatar MAB and doesn't have the same issue.

Edit: Also, I pulled off 25 avatar MAB in other slots (I haven't gotten around to augmenting my Hag feet yet) and the problem still persists

**Foldypaws** · 2013-12-13 22:33

The plot thickens!

In BP gear:
no staff: 4307
uffrat +1: 5503
Eminent pole + BP gear: 6579 expected, 1475, seen (5104 difference)
Eminent pole + BP gear sans Bokwus Circlet: 6379 expected, 1276 seen (5103 difference)

The fact that the difference stayed the same when MAB changed indicates it is -MAB, and not a weird resist/BP damage etc... term.

Eminent pole + Hagondes Boots appear to give a hidden -256 MAB (Now isn't that power of 2 interesting...).

This penalty drops significantly (but does not go away) when the latent is not active. Above 100 TP my Heavenly Strikes were doing 5962, which seems to indicates that the penalty has dropped to -25. (The -25 is above and beyond the expected drop in MAB of 6 from the visible latent deactivating)

**Alistrianna** · 2013-12-14 08:26

So I should ditch Hagondes for now and just use my Convoker's Pigaches instead until this gets fixed.

**Sechs** · 2013-12-14 10:11

Just wondering about the assault entry being reduced to only one person.
Does this mean you can also enter the 3 "Ashu Talif" assaults with just one player now? In theory you should since it uses the same exact system as "assault", server-side.

**Ophannus** · 2013-12-14 14:09

Most likely, nyzul is also an assault and Meebles and salvage are instances so I don't see why not. Wonder if campaign ops can be solo too

Just tested, doesn't work. Says I need 3 people.
Wonder if I summoned 2 Trust people and tried again if it would have worked lol haha
