Corrosion effect

[Kev-Dawg]

I just made the fire ant armor set but i haven't noticed the corrosion debuff of any enemy while meleeing. Am i misunderstanding how the debuff procs?

[Carambar]

Are you saying that you have hit the same mob multiple times with the same weapon and there was no change in damage?

Or are you asking if there is any visual effect / indicator to the corrosion debuff?

There isn't any indication of a debuff on an enemy atm. And if the corrosion works as intended or not, that I have no idea :-)

what i mean is truthfully i have no idea how the effect works, i'm not even sure if its working at all. i melee some larger creatures with the armor on but i don't see their health taking any hits from the corrosive damage (not sure if its even working).

I'm in the same boat. I also recently swapped to Block Free Attack on the ladybird shield and it doesn't trigger reliably. Sometimes it triggers 3x in a row and then not at all. Since there's no debuff icon on enemies there's no way to tell if it actually does anything and it doesn't feel like it increases damage against them at all.

i hope the devs read this!

Do you mean the Corrosion, or Acidic Splash?

Corrosion lowers the enemies defense, which unless it's a large amount likely won't be noticeable imo.

Acidic Splash is the set bonus that shoots out a blast of Acid. Far as I can tell, it does a small amount of damage with little to no splash. Im not sure of the damage, even with the Sleek Effect, because I use daggers and they hit so fast I can't tell one hit of damage from the other, especially in a Multiplayer game.

The ladybug armor makes your weapon swings cost no stamina for 5 seconds.

Now if you speak of the fire ant shield, which also has the corrosion effect; corrosion is a debuff that reduces enemy's armor. When you open your character status, there's a list of all buffs / debuffs on your character in the bottom right corner, including bonuses from armor sets and such. Or the wiki.

Do you think you're contributing? We know all that that's why we're asking if it even works. Also Ladybird shield doesn't make attacks 0 stamina it just reduces the stamina cost. If it's meant to be 0 it's not working properly. Just like the corrosion effect.

Why are you so angry?

I found this post via a YT video recently, and here is a useful link to anyone having question about gear effects, if things are bugged or not.

It helped me a ton to realise what things actually did what in the game, at least for the armor-side of things. The fire ant set is also included in the post, lemme just quote it here:

"Fire Ant Set:

Piece Effect: Melee attacks have a 10% chance to debuff the enemy with acid, causing them to take 15% more damage for 10 seconds.

Sleek Effect: Acid damage is increased by 10%.

Set Bonus: Melee attacks have a 10% chance to cause 25 acid damage to a single enemy (does not splash or deal AoE)."

Now there is no mention that it does not work properly in this post. It should be coded and working as intended.

Why are you commenting with information we all know already? Do you think you're contributing? Asking a rhetorical question pointing out your complete irrelevance to this discussion, has nothing to do with anger.

Yes yes, please go on.

I will, since you want to keep making off topic posts i will match them with equally irrelevant posts about how you're not posting anything of value. Imagine being that guy.

Very mature; I am amused.

Now if you read the link I posted, this is all the info we can get right now about armor sets and their effects; how it works etc.

If you expected anyone to come up with "Yes, the devs are actually coming up with a debuff icon on enemies' head next patch!"; Im sorry to disappoint. :-)

It's not a question of maturity. Do continue proving my point.
