![]() ![]() So: you hit with Secret Horrors and apply fightened/sickened -> the refund passive triggers and checks aha it's a deception spell and the enemy is afflicted -> give focus. ![]() There is a tricky order problem.īeguiler's refund goes in effect after you have grazed/hit/crit with a deception spell against a flanked or afflicted enemy. And only fixed the non-stacking part of Beguiler's refund.Īlthough even if they noticed it. Probably they missed the " gets +8 even though nobody has any affliction whatsoever" part. Just fair warning beforehand: beguiler has this issue and some (me included) may find it unpleasant. I doubt it will be corrected, because I complained about it at length in november, and it is still there.Īnyway, I certainly do not want to dissuade anyone from playing beguiler for, as you put it, ethics reasons. and it could theoretically happen if the refund trigger's condition was checked after the paralyze/immobile have landed. so you want to say that if you cast Mental Binding on a group of enemies that are not flanked/afflicted, you still get the focus refund? But glitched as it is, it is out of whack. It would still be nice and if cleverly played powerful perk. But that would cost time and focus, notably I would have to make some attacks in between casts because the first MB would leave me with no focus (or use companions to flank some sailors first). If it was working as intended, I would have to cast Mental Binding (or something else) twice to get that massive +42 refund. Then I dropped Mental Binding (-20 focus) on bunch of sailors with no afflictions on them whatsoever and got +42 (six times +7). To make sure no first strike/from stealth sneak attack bonus would be applied, I even shot one sailor first. The problem is this: (crude video)Ĭombat started. So I do not recommend beguiler at the moment.ħ focus is about right. Apparently the glitch that limited refunds from AoE deception to two was indeed fixed, but that only made already pretty severe glitch with refunds for hitting targes that do not qualify absolutely horrible. Then I dropped it on a whole pack of enemies and focus went through the roof. Some may have been fixed, but I suspect the fourth glitch/regression is still there, because I loaded an old save (I have since switched from beguiler to soulblade), dropped Mental Binding on two enemies with no afflictions whatsoever on them and focus went from 60 to 40 and back up to 54, which means I was refunded 7 focus twice. So beguiler was at the same time getting less in some situations and more in some other situation than they should. There are/were several bugs pertaining to focus generation and refund: that the base focus gain from weapon attacks against afflicted targets is slightly lower, that attacks from stealth do not count, that when multiple afflicted targets are hit with a deception spell only two hits are refunded and that hit with a deception spell is refunded even when target is not afflicted. ![]()
