Anyone else have problems with Thornskin?

Pheathers · 10-27-2009, 05:27 PM

Recently I have found that my Thornskin is much weaker than it used to be. On myself, it does 85-105 +/-. On any tank it is only in the 40s. It seems it varies from tank class to tank class too. I seem to remember it doing the same damage no matter what class i placed it on. I am ashamed to say that my Mastered Thornskin is doiong less damage than an experted Warden's thorns. Has there been a change or is there a bug on buff bars of others?

they fucked with it, think it was a stealth nerf, because there has been no word on it, and i have been bitching about it on the forums for weeks... gave up

Its been about a month since I inspected the MT to see what my Thorns did on him. They have always been full strength on me while soloing, but couldn't say when the change happened.

Yep they fucked up our Thornskin and Primal Fury buffs. For Thornskin it only uses the stats of the person you cast it on (the warden one works properly last i checked).

Primal Fury only uses the AA upgrades when it's cast on yourself. So if you wasted 10 AA points to upgrade it... you wasted your time. Cast it on a melee class and it'll do the default proc rate and won't increase there CA's by 10% like it's supposed to.

actually if u inspect the icon of the rage proc when it goes off, it has the 10% on it, but if u just inspect the feral buff icon when it's on somebody else, it doesnt list the 10%. i noticed this over a month ago, but havent played my fury really since then so i dont know if this's changed.

thorns possibly is the same way that when u inspect it, it says the lower amount but when it actually goes off, it does the correct amount of dmg. could just be a graphics bug with the icons. somebody can test it to see if that's how it's working.

thorns was always technically bugged, when you look at it on your hotbar or examine it, it's damage is maxed out with +base but that doesn't transfer when cast on someone other than yourself. sounds like you guys are talking about something else tho...

Looking at the logs from our Thorns they hit for WAY below even the damage it shows when inspecting the buff icon from another person. It hits for about half what it should and does considerably less than the Warden version.
