Enchanters are double attacking

[Tecmos Deception]

Edit - turns out that it was just some log/graphics bug, not an actual mechanic bug. Killing blows will often show an apparent double attack, but none seem to be happening otherwise.

On live, int caster's double attack can always "proc" once every 100 hits or so. Just very low chance. Do you see it often or it's a once a blue moon thing?

I just doubled on my 44 mage with a Torch, not even kidding

Look at the timestamps. It's happening that close together constantly as I beat down stuff in Najena because I can't kill them with DSs right now! :(

Also I'm 99% sure that I never doubled with Tecmos ever before today, even though I've spent plenty of time basking in the glory of 250-point hits from RoA.

So it's an issue with 1h weapons, apparently? Either that or something changed between my 3-minute-long hammer session this morning and now.

[Daldaen]

You sure this isn't a graphics bug? There was a bug where your killing blow would show it doubled awhile back. Even though you just hit them once.

Your logs appear to show all killing blows.

[Pullyn]

Personally saw Tecmos crush a skeleton at the WC spire double for 169 earlier today.

[Velerin]

I just double attacked with my torch as a 55 mage a few minutes ago too. Thought it was odd. Though it was also a killing blow so maybe its a bug and not really a double attack?

Heh. Looks like that is it. I tried to find a mob where I "doubled" without killing and there weren't any!

[Daldaen]

Basically its EQ's way of saying "Holy shit why did we think Rod of Annihilation was even a remotely reasonable idea, I can't even comprehend why a caster is hitting for this much, WTF is going on".

[Nycon43]

This is happening on my rogue and other rogue's i've grouped with today getting double backstabs.

[Buellen]

This is working with any class who lands killing blow.

enchanter punches mob for 4 dam its last 4 hp of mob it will be displayed as double attack.


tried it with war sk and a cleric. as long as you land killing blow to mob that dam from that blow will be displayed twice.

[Sinestria]

Yeah my monk is double kicking on the kill shot

[h0tr0d (shaere)]

Ranger was triple attacking on kill shot in HS, my sk as double attacking on kill shot in Oasis. Someone else confirmed they were double attacking 4 levels before they should.

[Dangermouse]

I wonder if this is related to a bug, whereby if a mob is killed by a DOT, you see the initial damage message from the DOT again.

For example (I don't have logs right now)...

Cast a shaman DOT, eg envenomed breath on a mob, you get:

"an orc pawn was hit by non melee for 30 points of damage"

If the orc pawn then dies to the DOT, as well as

"your envenomed breath spell hits an orc pawn for 27"

you also see the initial "non melee" message again.

[Haynar]

The death packet has dmg, and so does hit. So there is an extra packet sent on death from melee dmg probably. Will add to my list of things that might be a quick fix.
