Inescapable frenzy isn't working anymore ??

[Solarius0]

Hi,

I started playing like usual and when i wanted to oneshot a tarnished npc with inescapable frenzy and the usual stuff i use for oneshot gideon it only dealt around 900 damage, after further try with a friend in pvp it seems talismans doesn't work anymore on inescapable frenzy. Any idea why ? there asn't been any patchs so i'm confused.
Please any idea ?

When was the last time you used the build? Not too recently, but the patch before last had adjusted some of the Madness incants as they where deemed over-powered.

I know for sure they reduced the "madness" animation window to like a second (or by a second), but don't recall if DMG was adjusted also. I could see them having done so though as that particular one could indeed shred most things.

And even fire-scorpion doesn't work? That is gross if true.

Though - digging around a little, it seems like it is also another possible "whoopsie daisy" side-effect of patching, as after the April update, folks where asking about it, to which the answer was:

"inescapable frenzy's damage is bugged in a way I find funny, it scales off of whatever weapon you have in your right hand. This includes the status effects from that weapon. The funny part is that if you have a shield or whip in your right hand it'll do no damage at all."

Last time i used it and it worked perfectly was like 2 weeks ago. So i really don't understand there hasn't been any patch since 1.05

You can also test your Inescapable Frenzy on the Flame Guardian NPC enemies in Guardian's Garrison fort at Mountaintops of the Giants. No idea how the damage scaling on the spell works these days, but it oneshots the enemies on NG with fully upgraded Frenzied Flame Seal in left hand and Vyke's War Spear in right hand. Seems like Gideon is somehow resistant to Inescapable Frenzy specifically, but there are other ways to cheese him. I have managed to consistently instakill Gideon by triggering madness on him through 3 consecutive casts of a fully charged Frenzied Burst. When madness procs it just always fully deletes his health bar. Working as intended, I'm sure.

Well, i usually instakill him and any others "human" npc , varré , shabriri , etc with inescapable frenzy cuz it always made me laugh to see their healthbar melt with less than half of the duration of inescapable frenzy this is why i'm completly confused on why from around 10K damage it goes to 900 damage
