As the title suggests, I’ve noticed that the Enchanting Shattered Essence buff is not correctly applying the profession bonuses that it should be based on the specialisations tooltips.
I currently have 30 points in Supplementary Shattering and 30 points in Resourceful Residue.
This is a little detailed, but I’ll brake down the math:
(TLDR = Skip to the summary)
Each Specialization provides the following benefits:
Supplementary Shattering:
- +3 Ingenuity per point (total 90 Ingenuity at 30 points)
- +15 resourcefulness, Multicraft, Ingenuity at 5 points
- +15 resourcefulness, Multicraft, Ingenuity at 25 points
- +30 resourcefulness, Multicraft, Ingenuity at 30 points
Total benefit should be:
- +90 Ingenuity base skill
- +60 Ingenuity (buff)
- +60 Multicraft (buff)
- +60 Resourcefulness (buff)
Resourceful Residue:
- +3 resourcefulness per point (total 90 resourcefulness at 30 points)
- +30 resourcefulness at 5 points
- +30 resourcefulness at 15 points
- +30 resourcefulness at 25 points
Total benefit should be:
- +90 Resourcefulness base skill
- +90 Resourcefulness (buff)
So, with both of these at max points the total benefit should be:
Base skill:
- +90 Ingenuity
- +90 Resourcefulness
Shattered Essence Buff:
- +60 Ingenuity
- +60 Multicraft
- +150 Resourcefulness
This is where stuff gets weird and there’s clearly a bug going on.
Firstly I’ve confirmed by removing all profession tools that the base skill points are correctly applied and when adding my profession tools the tool bonuses are also correctly applied.
But when shattering an essence and getting the Shattered Essence buff, there’s multiple bugs.
- The buff tooltip incorrectly states “increasing Resourcefulness by 165, Ingenuity by 75 and Multicraft by 75”
- With the buff applied my stats are only increased as follows:
- Resourcefulness = 225 (90 + 135)
- Multicraft = 45 (0 + 45)
- Ingenuity = 135 (90 + 45)
TLDR Summary:
The Shattered Essence buff tooltip is wrong.
The amount of bonuses being applied is 15 short for all 3 Resourcefulness, Multicraft and Ingenuity.
