[1.7.3] Greater Weapon Focus bypassing trained reaction

Ran into a Berserker/Marauder unique. It was equipped with a two hander with no on hit effect (so GWF should always proc at most once per turn with a single damage instance). It performed stunning blow and from the screenshot it can be seen that both blows were reacted to, but GWF bypassed it somehow.
This kept happening through out the fight so it's not a one off occurrence.

The reason why this happens is because Trained Reaction only blocks attacks from
Code: Select all
local psrc = src.__project_source
if psrc then
local kind = util.getval(psrc.getEntityKind)
if kind == "projectile" or kind == "trap" or kind == "object" then
else
return
end
end
The __project_source for greater weapon focus is the effect and thus getEntityKind() returns nil
Code: Select all
[dur] = 8
[chance] = 60.502812010087
[getName] = function: 0x419cfc18
[__set_time] = 13599
[resolveSource] = function: 0x40bb3e20
[__talent_source] = T_GREATER_WEAPON_FOCUS
[src] = table: 0x4235d6b8
[__orig_params] = {
[chance] = 60.502812010087
}
Proposed solution is to do the same check on the src.src (it returns "actor" here)
