Present's AoE effect?

I decided to try and see if I could get 'right-click' info on the presents in my insp tray; which I could. While reading through the info, I noticed that both the +dmg and the +end are listed as having a 20' AoE.

So, will opening these presents around other toons give them the boost as well?

That is not what I have noticed when clicking them. Instead I see that for each person near me, I get another helping of the buf, I don't see the buff on their screen.

I particularly noticed it when using the +end one. for each person near me, I got an extra 50 end.



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

This is what I've noticed, and the buff icons show how many are stacked on yourself. For example, I had 3 "Gift of Energy" icons which corresponded to myself and the 2 teammates near me.

i think you find present are bugged out, it been like it for some xmas event now

Well, a bug would explain why I've had a different experience. When I've used them, whoever is near me, whether they are on my team or not, got the buff. But that a few months ago, so I apologize for offering up outdated information.

You getting buffs from pets as well as from players

The gift gives an animation for your teammates and pets, which is where SunGryphon may be mistaking that it's giving the buff to teammates and pets. For each animation, you get a buff, stacking if you are within range of teammates and pets.

Well, I'm not sure I'm mistaking it. As I said, it was a few months ago, but I've seen teammates health jump when I've hit a health present. It was really noticeable because it was a long fight and a lot of us were getting into the yellow, but we were all green after I hit it.

Inspirations.Holiday on CoD. You'll note that all of the inspiration types are listed as "Target: Caster", and that all effects are listed under "Self".

I recently capped my own damage with the "Gift of Damage" Inspiration, per Combat Attributes; it seemed I received one copy of the buff for everyone in range. I'm pretty sure the intention is for the Inspiration to buff all allies nearby, as hogging all the boosts for yourself is very un-gifty.

In short, I'm pretty sure it's bugged.

Sadly, CoD seems to be. . . less than up-to-date. Various powersets do not appear at all. Also, when clicking your link above, the page had an error message:
Warning: max() [function.max]: Array must contain atleast one element in /usr/local/share/www/cox/includes/google/googlebarchart.inc.php on line 30

I wouldn't put too much stock in what CoD says the inspirations SHOULD be doing.

The inspirations haven't been changed since they were put into the game, so CoD is up to date on what they do.

You... realize that this error is in relation to the graph of damage at varying levels... right? You realize that the presents do not deal any damage at any level?

You realize that my point is that the site is broken, right? Some pages will come up with a dozen error messages.

Does not mean that the present information, which has been exactly the same since it was first input into CoD, is wrong.

There are three current problems with CoD that I know of:
  1. It is not up to date (without checking, I want to say it's at I14, but I'm not certain of that)
  2. Damage graphs generally produce PHP errors (not a problem, since it's just a convenience - the actual damage is still listed, it's just not graphed)
  3. Some effects list the decimal rather than the percentage for the effect (not a problem in most cases, since common sense should be able to tell you when the effect is off by two orders of magnitude exactly)

CoD isn't perfect. But then, it's also only managed by a single person. You're welcome to create a replacement if you wish. But it's far from "broken".

They don't affect teammates, and in my experience never have. They count nearby allies for the effect they give you, but do not buff (or heal) those allies. The animation for the heal and endurance gifts in particular are visually misleading.

Also: CoD's errors and problems are mostly cosmetic. The only meaningful issue with the site is that it's not up to date with the most recent powersets and some changes to existing powers.

It has issues, but it does work pretty much as it's supposed to. Now, if it was unusable, then I would call it broken.

A total of approximately 40 lines of error messages and no information on the damage it does. I guess we define "broken" differently.

Well, unless it just got fixed today, it's working fine for me. Including the google graphs. No errors at all on the page for Boxing.
