"Polearm Expertise: % increased Lucky Hit Chance" has no effect

PC Bug Report
1

Using this expertise in the Technique slot has no effect on Lucky Hit Chance.

I tested this as you can see on the screenshots mentioned in the end. Here’s the description:

Im barbarian wielding 2H mace and my Lunging Strike base Lucky Hit Chance is 50%. I am wearing a glove that has 6% Lucky Hit Chance stat, resulting in my Lunging Strike getting a 53% Lucky Hit Chance (because 1.06 x 50 = 53%).

Now when I enable “Polearm Expertise: 7% increased Lucky Hit Chance” in the Technique slot I STILL only has 53% Lucky Hit Chance on my Lunging Strike. So Im figuring this must be a bug, as I don’t see it having an actual effect on anything anywhere? If there actually IS an effect, it is being hidden from the user afaict.

I have been having a discussion on Diablo 4 Reddit with people, but no one seemed able to explain or understand why this is the case.

Screenshots (I had to add “dot” and “slash” in the URL’s to be able to post, replace them with actual dots and slashes to use the links to see the screenshots):

Just checked if the 2H Axe’s + to vulnerability adds to the stats page, it does not - so I wonder if that is also not working OR the stats page is not reflecting the information correctly…

Still having the same concern with expertise not updating tool tips, any word from the devs yet on this?

Seeing the same thing. Been using this basically the entire game and just checked the stats now and noticed it isn’t doing anything. I have 10.2% Lucky hit from my gloves, and equipping this as my Technique doesn’t increase that at all in the Stats view. So either the Technique is bugged or the Stats view doesn’t take the Technique bonus into account.

There’s so much stuff like this and it’s really frustrating.

Bumping because I’d like to know if these actually work, maybe just not showing up on stat sheet/tooltips but it would be nice to know for sure…

Having the same issue as everyone above. Kinda disappointed as i set aside my Barbarian waiting on fixes and this is still not fixed. @Blizz Dev are y’all ever gonna respond to the people you took money from and fix your game? No wonder a ton of folks left for Baldur’s Gate 3.
