Serrated Blades tooltip (needs fixed)

Recommended Posts

Pretty sure there's something wrong with this tooltip.  The "ignore zero armor" part is what I'm wanting to highlight.

All of these (cropped) screenshots were taken on Darrowshire while leveling my Rogue.

I keep thinking that the correct (vanilla) value for this talent ought to be using a somewhat weird formula that amounts to this:

Quote

(Character Level - 10) * 2 * (Serrated Blades talent points) = Armor ignored by Rogue's attacks

This then yields a performance of ignoring 100/200/300 Armor at Level 60, which then comports with what is reported in these two contemporary articles from 2006 that I found here and here.

Quote

With 3 points invested and for a level 60 rogue it ignores 300 of the target's armor.

New talent 'Serrated Blades' is a tier 4 talent in the Subtlety tree, causes your attacks to ignore X of your targets Armor, and increases the damage dealt by your Rupture ability. The amount of Armor reduced increases with your level. At level 60, the ranks will reduce target Armor by 100/200/300 respectively.

Bottom line is that the amount of armor reduction should be 2/4/6 armor per character Level, not including the first 10 character Levels in that accounting.

  • Level 25 = 30/60/90 Armor ignored
  • Level 30 = 40/80/120 Armor ignored
  • Level 40 = 60/120/180 Armor ignored
  • Level 50 = 80/160/240 Armor ignored
  • Level 60 = 100/200/300 Armor ignored

So far, the only report I can find for this issue on Github is here ... might I ask some friendly Rogue (do such creatures exist?) to copy/pasta this information over to Github where it can be brought to the attention of the requisite individuals responsible for correcting these sorts of issues?  First to check if this is (just?) a display error and/or if the underlying formula is coded correctly to operate properly as intended.
