If I understand the issue correctly ALL type 3s related to dots are currently borked. It happened with the bard 2nd spire fix that spread out the dmg of the 2nd spire. Damage from type 3 augs is now currently being spread out along the entire dot as well. Take http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...html?item=79698 (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=79698) (Irae Faycite Shard: Soul Reaper's Pyre) which normally adds 120 dmg per tick. If your SRP goes for 7 tics the type 3 will now add 120/7 ~ 17 dmg per tick instead of 120. This is a fairly significant problem if you are running 8-10 dots and have worked hard to have type 3s for all/almost all of them.
If you were asking about tribute as well, Twinge of Pain (dot haste) is currently doing nothing (it is not a stacking issue as I tested without spell haste buff and det haste gear equipped). Many other tribute effects have been reported as being broken since the October patch. I believe Visions of Suffering and many stat increasing tributes are not working as well.
I mostly needed an example to run a test. We need to confirm if the "add Damage" adds to the instnat damage part that some dots have as well as to the continuing damage part, as it will go into the math.
For example... if we meant to add 120/tick for 7 ticks... we intended to add 840 damage... if the spell has an instant part, and the that also get the add damage... then simply making it 840 would double the effectiveness of the type 3, which we do not want. So I needed to find some test cases http://www.mapfiend.net/eq/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif
Thanks for the lists I see in this post and have gotten in PM.
I don't mean to bother, but forgot and meant to ask how the progress was on the type 3s. I think you were implying that their fix was also going in the patch next week? I just wanted to be certain. Thanks a ton for the information (and fixes) thus far!
The Type3 fixes did not make it for the patch.
