Non-Ranged Combat arts Miss 100% of the time.
 

Hey Guys,
I know it is not a UI question, but I thought you might be able to help.
I have petitioned the issue, and so far the only response that I’ve had was that it was getting escalated to a senior GM.

I’m a level 43 Fae Ranger on the lucan d server.
About 3 or 4 days ago, I noticed I was having significantly more trouble killing mobs, taking 3 times as long, for green con mobs etc.
After some evaluation I discovered the trouble was that ALL my non-ranged combat arts Miss every time.
The only way I can damage ANY mob is Auto-attack melee , or ranged combat arts/bow spells.

Has anyone else run into this trouble? Any ideas?
I sucks because I don’t have any alts, this is my only character I play, I don’t have time for alts, and as far as I can tell nobody else is having this trouble.

I have attached alog of a fight between me lvl 43 and a coyotoe lvl 35 Green Con mob. All my gear is white.
STR - 127
AGI - 201
STA - 110
INT - 85
WIS - 56

I've tried various potions to try and up my INT and Wis thinking that may have been the trouble, but it had no affect.

The only time I have seen a log like that is when you place auto attack on a green mob then go for a bio lol.... Its as if you havent been using any arts at all.... I dont have a ranger but I have noticed that my lvl 46 wizzy is taking longer to kill mobs now and all my nukes and stuff are either AD3 or Master as well, I will pay a bit more attention to the logs on my chars and if I find anything of interest will let you know ;)

BUG: Jackscrew Rapier
 

Did more testing this morning and started switching out items.

The problem was due to a bugged item.

The JackScrew Rapier when equipped in The primary slot.

GM contacted me and tested, and confirmed that the item is bugged.

Hmm. A few things stand out to me:

(1168181629)[Sun Jan 07 08:53:49 2007] You do not possess the skill required to use this weapon.
(1168181629)[Sun Jan 07 08:53:49 2007] YOU try to pierce a mountain coyote, but miss.
(1168181629)[Sun Jan 07 08:53:49 2007] YOU try to pierce a mountain coyote, but miss.
(1168181630)[Sun Jan 07 08:53:50 2007] You do not possess the skill required to use this weapon.
(1168181630)[Sun Jan 07 08:53:50 2007] YOU try to pierce a mountain coyote, but miss.

I'm assuming all the miss messages are the failed combat arts, and the skill messages are that you have a weapon that won't proc yet. Is this correct? Have you tried equipping different weapons?


(1168181779)[Sun Jan 07 08:56:19 2007] You are thirsty but have not selected anything to drink.
(1168181779)[Sun Jan 07 08:56:19 2007] You are hungry but have not selected anything to eat.

And, have you tried eating/drinking?

Neither of them seem like they should be affecting anything, but something to try at any rate.


Edit: Looks like you got it while I was posting. :p

Yes I did wonder how it was saying you dont have the skill to use the weapon so many times just thought you was messing about trying to equip somthing hehe
