Sorcerer Warp barrier > Enhanced meteor strike bug

    pro tipp for meteor: having the 1s duration for barrier will use the single hit meteor WITH THE ADDED DAMAGE from the buff


    and i take that any day over an 5 SECOND CAST MULTI-METEOR THAT WONT LET YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE 75 CRIT GLYPH

    Actually, this behavior is normal (Wrap Barrier should cancel the Mana Boosted Meteor Strike and return it to the non-Mana Boosted state)


    THE BUGGED PART IS:


    It also cancel the attack speed and the damage increase from Meteor strike!



    There are more iframes than skill.barrier.

    Work around it.


    Do you even know what he is talking about?

    How is it normal? the normal enhanced meteor strike should do the multiple meteors, not just the one

    alright, so the text on warp barrier states the following:


    Mana Boost II does not apply while Warp Barrier is active.


    so whenever you have mana boost on, and you cast meteor the following happens:


    I cast Meteor.
    I check if Mana boost II is active
    -> i will do Multi-Meteor Skill variant


    I cast meteor.
    I check if Mana boost II is active
    I see Warp Barrier is active as well
    I neglect the fact i have mana boost II
    -> i will do single-Meteor skill variant



    on skill cast, atkspeed-check will apply


    on skill HIT , dmg calculation will apply


    the two applications DO NOT HAPPEN at the same time


    meaning a warp barrier effect, that is fading


    can change some things


    in particular, having the 1s warp barrier cast right before meteor during mana boost II will do the following:


    I start the single-hit variant, no atkspd buff applies, so NORMAL cast time as usual
    before meteor lands, warp barrier fades
    dmg calulation happens, it checks all buffs: mana boost II is active -> 20% boosted damage


    congrats, your single-hit meteor will do more dmg while having the same time spend casting minus activating warp barrier to dodge something

    Cause you need a way to cast single meteor while using mana boost!


    Imagine yourself in a duel, you have mana boost ON and you slept your opponent, stun on cd. YOU CAN'T LAND A MANA BOOSTED METEOR ON A SLEPT OPPONENT!


    Instead, you use wrap -> Meteor strike to get the single meteor version while having mana boost on.


    Wrap barrier is bugged since the Warrior revamp patch, or at least thats what I understood before

    It should not cancel the damage and the attack speed added by mana boost! but the single meteor is a must!

    Matrixo, i asume u talk about pvp


    can you enlighten me why it should be increasing the dmg done with the buff? both single meteors


    at least in skill description the bonus damage should only affect monsters

    In pvp Mana Boost is used for the attack speed it provides.
    In Matrixos example, the opponent is slept, meaning he will wake up with the first instance of damage he receives.
    If you use Enhanced Meteor Blast on a slept oponent he will just wake up with the first small meteor hit (which does very little damage) and dodge the remaining little meteors and the big meteor.
    To prevent that, you use Warp Barrier. Warp Barrier returns Enhanced Meteor Blast to Meteor Blast, removes the additional damage to monsters (this wouldn't matter on this 1v1 pvp situation), but keeps the additional attack speed. So you end up with a normal Meteor Blast, but you will cast it faster because you have more attack speed thanks to the active effect of Mana Boost.



    Of course, against stunned targets, or in group pvp, you can just cast Enhanced Meteor Blast, or Enhanced Void Pulse, to do more damage and on a bigger radius. Yes, the additional damage only applies to monsters and it affects all skills, not just Enhanced Meteor/Void; but, the 2 additional pulses of Enhanced Void Pulse, and the 5 additional small meteors in Enhanced Meteor Blast will still do damage on their own.

    Hic sunt dracones

    yeah , the skill modifier on the boosted skills is higher in total damage for mass pvp/stunned targets still valuable.


    but i realy dont know what benefit mana boost does for single hit meteor, as i think both aspd and damage amp do not apply for 1v1 in case of attacking a slept target?


    correct me, i just dont think atkspeed bonus applies either when casting with warp barrier (ingame stat jumps back)

    In Matrixos example, the opponent is slept, meani......

    Thanks, can't explain better than what you did there.

    Quote from Galtero


    So you basically mean, attacking a slept target doesn't apply attack speed and damage amplifier because the target is slept?


    If that's what you mean, then no. Slept target is a stunned target that you can only hit once. It's not because he is slept your damage boost or speed boost will be cancelled!


    My point is, why lose the attack speed and the damage modifier when using wrap barrier with meteor strike?! According to the reddit I shared before, some people consider this to be a bug. I don't know really! But basically, wrap barrier should be a way to switch to the old version of the modified skills by losing a very important iframe without losing the attack speed and the damage modifier.

    Loosing the attack speed is definitely a bug.
    They tried to fix it in this patch: Patch Notes 56.03 – Light and Shadow


    But it ended up wrap barrier not canceling the multi hits instead, after that they "fixed" it by going back to the original way. Then they I guess tried again but failed again, now we are back to where we started again.
