legendary ring hotfix nerf to Prismatic crystal use.

[bowchikabow]

Fixed an issue where Legendary Ring effects were incorrectly counting damage dealt to Prismatic Crystals.

Suppose it was fun while it lasted.

Was fixed Wednesday night, didn't last long indeed.

This isn't a nerf, it's an extremely obvious bug fix.

Does that mean the ring itself hit the Crystal, or does it mean that the damage you deal to PC isn't taken into account for the ring "explosion" ? Or something else ?

[Zelendria]

I think your ring was taking your cast into the PC, and the amplified effect from PC. So you would be charging up your ring with your 100% spell cast and 130% from PC (If you were Arcane)...
That's a shed load of extra damage if I understand it right.

24/33 FTL

Okay so your dps on PC isn't taken into account, but PC damage onto boss is. Looks good.

Just to be correct, you hit the PC with 130% damage and this already increased damage is copied (and maybe split) to the enemies. You don't hit it with 100% and then the damage "output" is amplified to 130%

Yes, if you place the PC and nuke it without hitting enemies with the PC damage, your ring would deal 0 damage now.

I know that, but maybe I'm reading the hotfix wrong.

To me that suggests the ring was not only counting the dmg coming out of the cyrstal, as it should, but also the damage that went into it.

It was. It was counting your DPS twice while PC was up.

Anyone who thinks PC was intended to double-down on your Ring effect is insane.
