Miscellaneous: paladin /sk defense skill bug-230

[Danth]

After some months of solid RED/230 I saw grey/252 again for a brief period. It was nice while it lasted. Otherwise, bump back to page 1.

Yeh I randomly noticed myself having that spectacular white 252 at skill window yesterday.
Back to norm today. WAS IT ALL A BEAUTIFUL DREAM?

Lol wow. Stat hypnosis, cant look away. You can really feel that ac when its given back randomly. I agree, very sad and depressing bug, o happy day when its fixed

I wonder if PALSK defense is working server side and just isn't being displayed correctly. It would be interesting to try and do some sort of a test and see if you could parse differently defensively if you manage to catch yourself with the 252 skill.

This post by Nilbog leads me to believe that no efforts have been made to adjust skill caps.

The issue is that we need a system created which handles skill cap changes on the timeline. When that is done, we will set the skill caps properly through each era.

Would love to see a fixed pending update. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This bug impacts some of us over 90% of the time we play.

Back to the top.

I don't know how well this will work for the rest of you--or whether it'll work at all tomorrow or next week (given how random this glitch is), but I've been having the wife port me to Cobalt Scar any time I log on before I go about my usual gameplay business. For some reason for a couple weeks now, if I do that it'll usually hold at 252 until I log off or get killed. I know a few other hybrids who report similar success at using this technique.

I hope the above "control" over the glitch remains available for awhile. Once I get the time and motivation I plan to try to do some more indepth testing of avoidance--it shouldn't affect mitigation, only avoidance--to try to determine more conclusively whether this is a functional glitch or merely a display glitch.
