MA job - Outsider AB bonus

[Bargeld]

I've completed the MA job series that provides +3 ac/ab vs outsiders, etc. On my toon's charsheet it shows an extra set of ab progression 'vs outsiders'. When the toon was a lowbie, and had only completed the first job, it received +1 ab vs outsiders, but wielded a +2 weapon. The charsheet reported +12/+7 and then +11/+6 vs outsiders. Now I have a bitter hatchet +4 and have completed the job series for the full +3 ac/ab. The charsheet is now +37/32/27/22 and +36/31/26/21 vs outsiders.

It looks to be reporting correctly, but also tends to give you the impression that your ab/ac vs ousiders is actually LOWER due to the jobs. Is this another one of those things where the engine just chooses the higher of the values? Having it stack would be awesome

As far as the combat log, I haven't had the occasion to remember to check while fighting an outsider, just hoping someone with MA experience or a dev might know the answer off the top of their head...

NC bonus versus undead does the same sort of thing, I believe.

The job AB bonuses are only effective until a certain level.
I think the level was 20, I am not 100% sure but I think that is what Zing told me along time ago when I asked the same question.
After that level it becomes obsolete.

or its really embarassing.....i think i'm right

[Carnaugh]

(As far as I've been told) The AB bonus doesn't stack with weapon Enchantment, so yes it effectively is only a benefit up to (normal gear) level 13. As level 16 gear is +3 Enchantment (normally). But yes the other Faction job bonuses of that nature are similarly affected. But I've never tested it!

Now how about we complain about that Ragnar's Kin Stalwart Slammer.

More importantly - how did you change the background color of your Character Sheet from the default black? That's what interest me ... oh and the fact the character sheet does not display correctly and that Tep believes your build is subpar and that you won't let Rufio see your build lol!

From what I heard it displays wrong on the character sheet but if you look at your combat log it will add the bonus.

Try testing it by attacking a solar or something.

Haks. All my boxes are transparent.

Depending on how it is implemented it either doesnt stack with weapons (likely). Or it never gets "updated" in your character sheet, I have toons where it correctly displays that I would receive a higher AB on that sub line. . . soon as buffs are mixed in the sub line doesnt go up with the other buffs (bard song/ava/etc/etc).
