ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I dont know if this is intended or not, but apparently Sawbutcher Rares/Bosses can use Assault while dual wielding steamsaws. Everyone who has played ToME after EoR has launched knows that Sawbutcher Rares are already ridiculously strong (even after Saw Wheel ban) and this guy used Assault on me with 2 steamsaws and splattered me to the walls of the Sandworm Lair even though I was on Normal RL difficulty. It seems a bit too powerful to me to be intentional.



The other one is about "warrior's" ego on rings. Copper Ring gives +6 armor and +3 str, whereas Steel Ring gives +4 armor and +2 str. This is a very minor mistake but i think they were mixed up and the stats should be switched.

iirc steel rings can vary from +2/4 to +4/8 but copper only goes up to +3/6
i might be wrong though

as for the assault thing; steamsaws count as shields
first it does a shield strike, hitting with the offhand steamsaw
then it hits twice with 2 weapon attacks, and in this case weapon attack means both steamsaws, since you can bump attack with them
so it does 1 offhand steamsaw hit, then 2 mainhand steamsaw criticals and 2 offhand steamsaw criticals
if its a bug, then its because steamsaws count as shields for shield-using talents

Ah I see, so it was only because of RNG the rings looked that way. I still think that steamsaw thing doesnt make any sense, but I guess that was the way the game was programmed I will have to live with that. Thanks for the explanation.
