EK tier 4 "Force's Point" doesn't actually grant any bonus to hit or damage when stacked.
Confirmed. Tested on Wizard EK.
- "Force's Point - Martial" doesn't provide any to-hit or damage bonus.
- "Force's Point - Magical" provides USP as intended.
- Unsure if this problem also affects "Arcane Warrior - Physical" (it likely doesn't, as that one gives MP/RP instead).
Not sure if this has been mentioned here yet, but Eldritch Knight's (wizard one at least) Force's Point: Martial is behaving very wonky when casting a persistent aoe like acid fog. When you cast a spell that lingers like acid fog, it will trigger Force's Point: Martial, however when it tries to apply a second stack of it, it can sometimes remove all stacks instead or just remove stacks applied by the lingering aoe, or just not apply additional stacks at all. The way to reproduce this would be to set the lingering aoe between you and a group of enemies, once it is in place, pull the enemies through the aoe, and then perhaps drag them out of it and back in. if the enemies remain in the aoe or it is cast onto the mob, it may only apply one stack of Force's Point: Martial if at all. Overall the interaction between lingering aoes and Force's Point: Martial does not seem wai, and I imagine it is probably also the same with the arcane warrior destiny feat since they seem like they would be coded the same way.
Confirmed. Tested on Wizard EK.
- All persistent AoE spells give you a stack (*
almost always*) when an enemy first enters the area (or if you cast the spell on top of them).
- Unclear if they give you further stacks if the enemy stays in the affected area (theoretically spells like Acid Fog should continue granting you 1 stack per second, whereas spells like Solid Fog shouldn't).
- Problems arise when enemies exit the AoE. Almost always, when they exit the AoE, all your "Force's Point - Martial" stacks disappear.
Here's an older thread describing the issue as well.
- Not tested whether this issue affects "Arcane Warrior - Physical" too, but it likely does.
There are a lot of problems with it. I made a video last year showing that when you have forces point magic, I wouldn't get forces point physical stacks for instance.
Essentially in the vids you can see that when I had forces point magical first, I wasn't getting the physical stacks.
Could not replicate the issue shown in the video (the videos show that sometimes if you first get "Force's Point - Magical" buff from hitting an enemy with your weapon, and then try to get "Force's Point - Martial" stacks via spells, then your spells won't be generating any "Force's Point - Martial" stacks). Tested on Wizard EK, using the spells shown in the videos.
