Present Inspirations for MMs


 

Posted

There is an unusual bug with Present inspirations and MMs. The AoE Heal/Buff is applied multiple times to a single target rather than spread out to all targets within the area of effect. If a MM eats one of the defense presents, s/he will inherit 6x33% defense, thus binging them up to the AT hardcap with a single inspiration.

This also works on MM pets. With regards to the damage present, rather than having all of your pets receive 50% damage a single pet will receive 300% damage.

This bug can be a little game breaking in certain situations. Even recluse is trivialized at 175 defense for 12.5 minutes.

i doubt this is a bug, the presents to my knowledge have always been aoe that buffed you depending on how many things in the aoe

mm just get the most benefit out of them

and the duration on the presents isnt even close to 12.5 minutes, i think its 30 or 60 seconds for a single present, in order to keep it up for like 10 min you would need a full tray of them

i dont see much problem with them, as anything above 45% def is basically pointless and recluse could easily 1 shot the mm even with 75% resist to everything too

all i really see from this is that the mm gets slightly more benefit out of them because of having pets around all the time instead of only getting real benefit out of them during group stuff like ship raids

Err, exactly. That's what 25x 30 seconds is equal to.

I have used these things a bunch and never noticed it on other ATs. I guess they aren't bugged for the specific AT, but is this WAI even after all of these years? It seems like they were intended to be AoE buffs, rather than stacking based on how many allies are in range.

Try using this while standing in the tuatha army fighting Lady Winter. It's fun!


A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

LOL. I want to try that on my Brute with the damage present-- a gift straight to the damage cap.
