STONEFORM and the Damage Increase...broken(?)

[AzSel]

So been testing the damage increase for stoneform since I noticed yesterday that my damage didnt really budge.

When going into stoneform and getting the 20% DI your status bar damage doesnt budge (it does if you put on a 20% DI ring)

If you test it in pvp, the average damage with or without stoneform is the same.

If you go on TC1 and go into stoneform the DI doesnt show when you mouse over the character. Only the -SSI shows.

In comparison when you go into Horrific Beast form the 25% DI will show on TC1 when mousing over char aswell as the damage being updated on the status bar.

Everything else about stoneform seems to be working, but not the damage increase for pvp.

Anyone else care to confirm this? Logrus?

It doesn't seem to resist paralyze either.

Good catch. I've never played a dexxer mystic but my boost on 115 mystic char i thought was only something like 11 DI -- either way, your results pretty much indicate stone form is broken. I'd post a bug report or two, that ought to get a fix.

Is form supposed to resist para though? I know it's supposed to have chance to resist all curses ... hm. But there has to be some kind of weakness to it.

It says its supposed to resist para on spell desciption, though don't see anything about a damage increase

The stone form,from what I understand,is supposed to have a good chance to resist all status changes such as curse,weaken,clumsy, and also effects such as bleed and poison.

Stone Form - In Rel Ylem - Infuses the Caster with the essence of solid stone, giving a bonus to physical attacks and damage resistance, but reducing the Caster's movement, spell casting, and attack speed. The Stone Form may neutralize poison, strangle, bleed, sleep, paralysis, and stat reduction effects. The Stone Form's effectiveness is determined by the Caster's Imbuing and Mysticism skills.

From The Official Stygian Abyss website describing Mysticism Spells.

The discussion on another forum is that no one with 120/120 Myst/Focus has ever "neutralized" a paralysis.

Don't really use this spell much, but was checking it out abit. it doesn't appear to resist bleed much either.

That spell description is out of date. The spell description in your mysticism book is more up to date. Have tooltips on and mouse over the icon in your spellbook.

At 120/120 I seem to resist most things in pvp, (not paralyzis) incl. bleed. But a greater dragon can still manage to bleed me somehow (also the case with pvm a wraithform whos also supposed to be immune to bleed)
