Hi. When put points in sword mastery, I noticed that my double swing Damage. Is this a bug or is that how it really works? thanks.
Assuming you’re using swords, sword mastery should increase DS damage. I can’t think of any situation where points in a mastery would ever decrease damage. At worst they should have no effect if the mastery doesn’t apply to a situation (such as having axe mastery but using sword or something).
Just to try to understand the problem can you confirm:
- You are making no equipment swaps
- You are sitting with the character screen and the skill menu open, and you have unused skill points. As you add skill points, your DS damage is going down.
- You’re doing something like #2 and not doing a full respec - it would be possibly here you’ve made unintended changes.
3.1) If you did a respec, it’s possible something is going on with weapons not being equip-able even when you meet the requirements, if you’re using bonuses from items to meet the requirements. I recall there’s been similar bugs posted where Grief is switching hands on people or otherwise not being considered despite meeting the requirements, but things look normal again once “hard points” are committed.
Just want to make sure something similar to : Barbarian Dual Wield Berserk Bug isn’t happening.
What items are you using and what stats do you have? Might help people figure out what is going on.
It’s number 2. Character screen is open and I add skills and the damage for double swing goes down. But I was able to fix it by doing a respec with Akara. I put points in sword mastery and it goes up instead of down. I don’t know what happened. I assume its a bug.
Yeah that’s really weird, if nothing else changes but the level of weapon mastery then it should only be increasing damage and AR, never decreasing. Glad it doesn’t seem to be an issue for you anymore, but it sucks you had to burn a respec!
I have a barb I’ve been building up to use swords and DS/Frenzy, I’ll try to remember to hop on him later tonight and test to see if I have any issues like that.
I had the same issue with mace mastery at low levels on my barb. It just “fixed itself” eventually. The character sheet is very bugged. It’s most likely a display bug which does not affect your in game stats.
