Phase Door and Dimensional Step have incorrect descriptions

#1 Post by solar »

Phase Door description says "At level 5, it allows you to choose the target area", but in reality you can choose the target area starting with level 4 of the talent.
Dimensional Step description says "At talent level 5 you may swap positions with a target creature", but in reality it swaps your positions at level 4 already.

While we are at it you could also make the descriptions more consistent by changing "At talent level 5" to "At level 5" to match other talents' descriptions

Neither of these are bugs and are due to category mastery.

Effective talent level is gotten with (raw talent level) * (mastery), where mastery can be seen next to the name of the category and is most often (but not always) 1.3 for class' own categories and 1.0 for categories learned from other sources

Therefore, at 4 points in PD/Dim step, the actual talent leve lis 4 * 1.3 = 5.2

Ahh thanks I didn't know about that.
So that also means if I get my talent to level 5 with talent mastery 1.3 it will actually be level 6 right?

Yes, you can see the effective talent level near the top of the tooltip.

Due to diminishing returns, it often doesn't really matter whether a talent is level 5 or 6 but there are certain talents with breakpoints that are above level 5, such as Possess of Possessor and Defiling Touch of Cursed/Doomed

I will move this thread to General Discussion as it's not a bug
