testosterone poison damage

[Dobster]

I noticed something strange last night whilst playing in plat with my DE. When in a party with the other members in the same screen, if i cast testosterone it would multiply my poison damage. Earlier when partied with sanny she was casting war cry on me and we thought it must be that but later in a party of 4 with no-one casting buffs on me, it was doing just the same. My poison mist damage would improve when casting testosterone with other players in the same screen. Some pics are attached showing my normal damage, then with 1 player in screen, then 2 and 3. My damage went from 32k to 90k. Does this happen with other spells/ca's? or could it be another bug

Blackblood and I have both seen crazy amounts of poison damage sometimes when casting PM with Test - it appears to be a bug that occurs in some circumstances.

Test is listed as increasing your poison damage. That's why I keep it as high as I can on my trapper and always keep it cast. Are you saying that with more folks in the game the damage increases above this? Then when alone it goes back down?

[Dobster]

The first pic is my damage when testosterone was cast on my own but if others are near me(stood close) when i cast testosterone my damage is greater. The last pic was when 3 others where near me and it multiplied my poison damage from 30k to 90k

Ya know Dobs, that would be a cool function in any game. More party members = more damage dished out. Maybe an idea for Sacred2! :)

Ah, then this must be Ascaron's sneaky way of encouraging friendship :) I'll buy that one! lol I so decree, this is befriend a DE week!

Well with that irritating party XP bug its good to know that we have a good Party bug as well.

Ummm.. just wondering. Are you using crit?

'Cause 2, 4 and 8 are the multipliers I've heard can happen with crit.

Is this "wonderful damage" a regular occurance?

It could just be the "old game" syndrome...where Sacred gets buggy and overflows in "exciting ways" after the game (server) has been up too long.

Sounds like this one is one we enjoy. :)

I have got very high crit but it is definatley not that. After testing this a lot tonight it happens all the time:) I cast testosterone on the island with 5 other players stood next to me and my poison mist damage rose from 52k to 194k:D A quick dash to the VOT and my PM was hitting for 400k too over a million. The highest critical hit i saw was 1020000. It has worked all night, my normal(on my own) damage is 52k but if teamed up it rises greatly depending on how many people are near when casting testosterone. This has to be the best bug yet:p

[Blond Moments]

I remember that, I also remember when we were all together that night, that I started doing some crazy melee dmg, and that guy is just a weakling! Btw I had fun. ;)

[Dobster]

And so the team up bug continues:D
In a party in niob last night, 4 of us were running around the desert killing spiders when i noticed that due to casting testosterone with the team near that my damage was insane:D I have still not firured out what is causing this, maybe it is from a set item?? I am lvl 155 now and last not got a critical hit of 2.5 million. I love this bug as it encourages playing together, does this work with infernal power perhaps?? Here are some pics

I don't think it's party related - if it's the same thing I saw it can happen even on your own.

Of course that assumes only one thing could possibly be wrong... ;)

[Dobster]

I've just been talking to r00 and he knew of this bug. He calls it 'rolling over' and apparentley it also works for the daemon forms. Since he told me i remember this happening with a fire daemon i had, her fire damage/resist would increase when fireform cast near other players. At last sacred has some good bugs:D
