So if we are going to get crazy pedantic with it, technically no. Actors (players, minions, enemies) don't have added damage effectiveness. Each individual damage source has an added damage effectiveness. Most ability objects have just 1 but some can have multiple and each ability can create multiple ability objects (e.g. volcanic orb creates several different types of ability objects depending on how it is specialized).

If a minion or player use the same ability, they get the same added damage effectiveness. Because minions get way way way less added damage in general, their abilities have much higher base damage so they can still scale effectively with % damage stats in the late game. This means that because they have different abilities, those abilities have their own added damage effectiveness stats so minions kinda in a roundabout way have their own added damage effectiveness.

Hi, it's me, Mike from the EHG stream.

You are more than welcome to get a Rah rune tattoo.

I have but one request (that is fully optional). Please post a picture of it :)

Yea... Sorry...I would have been running straight at you the whole time.

The first reply is almost exactly what I would have put.

Well, more specifically 2H sword but I did main a bunny thumper in GW for a long time. That was a 2H hammer ranger which was kinda half rogue, half primalist. Still a very cool build.

Monolith is our next target for some substantial updates - appreciate your feedback and suggestions u/xenosteel ! I'm also reading through the additional comments in this post. Someone mentioned a crab Echo and I'm for it

I’ll bring it up tomorrow to the balance gang

I misread it. This thread is 3 months old.

There is a sword Aurelis that has a triggered smite ability. I checked that.

I made a mistake and checked the Aurelis interaction instead because I thought that's what the post was about. It's months ago. Just make a bug report in game.

Edit: I read it wrong, tested Aurelis instead.

I just tested it again to be sure. It is in and does work. Best guess of why it's not working is that the mana cost is technically slightly above 0 but the tooltip is rounding down. I thought we made it never round down to 0 unless it was actually 0 specifically because of this situation but I can't think of another reason. You can try using the free when oom node in the top left of smite's tree or try using a wand and Aurelis in the off hand to force the mana cost down to zero all the way for sure. I just tested both and they work.

If you'd like to submit a bug report, please use the in game bug reporting tool as it is much more effective.

Nah, it's still yesterday. And I'm "on vacation" right now so I don't have work in the morning.

Nope, unrelated.

Yes, part of the triage process is age and estimated duration. I frequently just grab a bug or two like this in between bigger ones. Or even if I just need a break from working on a big one. We also will sometimes put someone on task to just hit as many of these as possible. There was a patch a couple back that had a ton of little skill bug fixed, most of those were 2 people.

This isn't actually a bug but it might not be designed well (I can say that because it was me). It's not using 2. The slot in the forge which holds the modifier item is actually a full on storage slot that you are moving a rune into. This means that as soon as you select it, one has been moved and the count in your materials panel is one less. When you used it, another was automatically moved into the modifier slot. If you clear the slot or select something else, it will get placed back in your storage.

Edit: airowird has been around for a long time, I think they were just having some fun, no need to downvote so hard.

If it has been reported using the in game bug reporting tool, it's probably sitting in someone's queue listed as low priority. They probably have a half dozen high priority bugs that are consuming their life and haven't even noticed it yet. Who knows, it might even be sitting in mine.

We don't pull bugs from reddit as a primary reporting source. We sometimes get bugs from here if a dev stumbles upon it and you get lucky or it's so high impact that it gets a ton of attention. However, in that situation, they have also all been reported in game. The in game reports go directly into our triage system automatically.

Edit: but yes, this should be an extremely easy big to fix. However, it could be something crazy that's much more complicated. I doubt it though. Someone probably just typed 5 instead of 8.

Distance to center is a fairly significant factor too, it's going to be rough farming omni there.

We have a lot of ongoing efforts to continue optimizing, some large some small. To give some specifics

• we've very recently started an effort to pack textures differently for all visual effects across the game which should reduce their memory footprint substantially
• we've just signed a highly regarded console porting studio to work in an integrated manner with our team with their main focus being performance optimization which is needed as consoles have strict requirements here
• we've got an internal optimization team spun up and finding targets on a weekly basis to chew through empowered with newly licensed analysis software
• we've got developers with a working prototype of skin meshed renderer batching for a many enemies of the same type on screen. This could be a very impactful update that would even allow for larger "swarming" events that are very performant
• we are looking to implement addressables which would drastically reduce th...
