Weapons "of massacre" broken

#1 Post by PowerWyrm »

Just found this:
"poisonous iron battleaxe of massacre (6-9 power)"
Not only they don't give extra physical damage, but they have lost their standard weapon power...

Can you make a screenshot of the tooltip?

Of massacre changed to +weapon power BTW but it only shows in the tooltip (fixed for next beta).
And 6 minimun power is low but possible for an iron battleaxe

Ok then it was a crappy battleaxe with 6 power... :wink:
So a battleaxe (6 power) of massacre (+2) will in fact be a battleaxe (8 power) right? In this case the bonus should be *much* higher (+2 is a joke... even saw +2 on a voratun axe). It's of *massacre* after all...

Don't expect much from iron ego weapons, you can often find weapons with only +2 to a parameter (attack for example).
And checking the code, a weapon with 8 power instead of 6 power does around +9% damage which is appropriate.

On the other hand, the effect is much lower on voratun weapons.

It's not +9% damage, as the old style of massacre would apply its percentage increase to all elements that increased damage (strength being a big element). +2 damage is simply terrible when compared to almost any other ego.
