Reapers Caress advantage bug

[Archived Post]

This is a carry over bug from the beta, but I didn't see it in the Gameplay Bugs board anywhere, so I'll bring it up again.

Simply put, the advantage that causes Reapers Caress to act as a cone attack instead of single target... doesn't. It still only targets single in every situation. Reapers Caress is a single blade power and the advantage here is Vicious Vigor.

Working off this as my main attack power, the lack of the cone potential really makes things harder!

I planned on getting this advantage on my alt, but hesitated remembering it was bugged in Beta.

Thanks for the head's up it still is, Zephyr, and hopefully this gets fixed as soon as possible.

Adding to this thread, as it has still not been addressed/corrected. No cone for Reaper's Caress.

Bug report it in game as well. This worked in closed and open beta and was broken right before the game launched live. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I didn't see a ticket on this when I searched. It's now bugged.

Seen this too. So sad because the power rocks with this advantage. Being able to apply bleeding to everyone standing in front of you is nice. Dev's please fix. I need my AOE back.

Also bugged in game during OB and just now, but couldn't find anything with the search feature.

/Bugged this as well. I didn't see any tickets under "Reaper's Caress" or "Vicious Vigor", so I filed it with both in the title.

Maybe the /bug report doesn't like apostrophes or something...

I've had trouble finding reports with the search feature, even when searching for titles I made myself. I think there's a bug in the bug reporting system... :eek:

Anywho, this is broken for me too. Reaper's Caress was a great workhorse power with this advantage: not overpowered, but a nice source of quick AoE. I've bugged it and add myself any time I see a bug report for it.

Still bugged

I'm sorry to say that this is fixed on the Test server.

That is not to say that it bestows a cone to the attack. That advantage has been changed. It now applies the Enraged state if you hit someone with an active bleed. One might wonder why you would care about the Enraged state in a powerset that has nothing to take advantage of it. Well, to anyone silly enough to ask that question, I would say... Umm... I have no idea.

Good news!

Kind of. I've found that the Enraged state is not something that needs to be taken advantage of. It is a damage buff in it's own right. While Enraged all your attacks are supposed to do more damage. It is very easy to keep yourself in an Enraged state, so it's pretty much a perma damage buff.

I thought it was a state that other attacks used to do something special.

So we still lose the one meager AoE we had, but I think we get substantially more single target damage overall. Single Blade is a boss killer. Beware the trash mobs.

I assume the reapers caress bug has been fixed, as I have... something procing off of the third swing of the caress. Though the 'buff' is labled as bleeding. I have confermed that there is a damage buff tied to it. Though the durration and exact ammount of the buff seems in question. AS well, the tool tips for the advantage still says 'makes reapers caress a cone attack'

This game has been plagued by inaccurate and opaque tooltips since closed beta. Cryptic needs to hire an English major to rewrite their tooltips in favor of readability by those not on the dev team.
