Singular Focus Bug

[ghobx]

<p>Singular Focus when active reduces AE Auto Attack by 1000.  Which is fine unless you are a Swashbuckler with the Blademaster prestige.  Because that prestige links AE Auto Attack to Crit bonus, you lose 200 crit bonus.  I will go from 240 crit bonus to 40 crit bonus.  I'm sure this is not intended.</p>

<p>You lose 1000 AE Auto, you get 1% CB for every 7% AE auto.</p><p>If you have -1000% AE Auto, you lose Critical Bonus because its in the negatives? Lol.</p><p>Basicly it means don't use it.</p>

<p>Its 1 crit bonus for every 5 aoe auto, so yes turning it on gives a swash a -200 crit bonus affect.</p><p>The whole left hand line is about aoe dps for swashes, so I feel the crit bonus to aoe auto makes great thematic sense.  However it just fails for a few reasons.</p><p>Specifically:</p><p>1) AoE auto is one of only a small handful of stats that hard-caps left in the game.  Other classes might have crit bonus tied to dps or attack speed, and will continue to gain a benefit regardless of how much of their stat they get.  AoE auto is completely worthless after 100, and is best served reforged into other stats.  This limits our endline usefulness compared to other stats.</p><p>2) AoE auto is a conditional stat.  There are times it is detrimental to have, hence the whole reason singular focus was added.</p><p>3) The problem highlighted above, where as singular focus destroys our endline.  Even if singular focus was changed to set aoe auto to 0, we'd still lose our endline entirely.  As far as I know we're the only class in that situation.</p><p>The quickest fix I can see would be to add a +200 crit bonus affect to singular focus for any swash who specs blade master.  This would allow us to keep the same about of crit bonus as we should have with our endline wether singular focus is turned on or off.  This fixes issues 2 and 3.</p><p>Also soe need to take a look at AoE auto and find some use for the stat after 100 this will fix issue 1.</p>

<p>Talathion...</p><p>or maybe it means SOE should fix this ASAP so a class isn't penalized when going down a certain prestige line.</p><p>no need to be a troll.</p>
