Ivy's Armor Set Bonus?

[ICountFrom0]

Does poison from a summon count to trigger the +25% critical chance?

I would imagine so but never know with this game. So much is unbalanced and unexplained.

It should... there's not supposed to be a mechanical difference with the source of the poison.

Just tested it for you....

I set up an island with a materializer to summon a Shrooman Brute then let a Fanhare and a summoned Sprout loose on it for about 10-15mins - even after seeing the Shrooman poisoned over and over it never triggered.

I checked to make sure it was actually working with a Druida ring and a Stormbringer - sure enough after a sec or 2, sheet crit chance shot up like it should.

So, no, summons nor pets trigger Ivy's.

Well that's very disappointing. Thanks for testing it.

EDIT: I sent in a bug report to them referencing this thread, we'll see what they say about it.

I just had the minion (ranged, poison) trigger oromoth's ability.

So it should be possible.... wonder why it's not working.

Well I did go back and look at the wording, it says "+25% critical hit chance for a short duration after successfully applying poison"

So it seems the game is coded for you to get the bonus when you apply the poisoned, not against poison targets generally.

I guess it makes sense, but I'd rather they improved the wording a bit.

I didn't test whether the buff applies to pets or summons.... hmmmm, when I have some free time (and come up with a good method) to test it, I will and I'll post the results here.

a pet with +50% crit, and the set that adds +crit to the pet, trying to aim for 70% crit.

if after a monster is poisoned you see no more non crits....

I'd still like it if the pet, the summon, and the player was counted the same so that a summon poisoning a monster would trigger the ivy set to increase my own crit chance.

Zero interaction with pets or minions....

Same Shrooman Brute trick, Fanhare and Sprout. I thought it was working for minions at first, damn RNGesus throwing the minion 4 crits in a row on occasion. Then I reset minion skills for 0% crit chance and nada... no sheet increases and no visual evidence of crits.

Didn't think it would affect them tbh, but worth checking these things eh?

*nods* If minions can trigger ranged soul, I really think they should trigger ivy.

But I'm slightly too lazy to post it as a bug on the website, heh.
