support, this is very important.

why should people have to go to offisites to figure out what their gear does and how it works.

barrows best tooltip in game, pls update void, raids, warpriest and other items in game with similar tooltips.

abilities need updating too, there's no reason for the most integral part of the combat system to not display accurate information.

game needs clarity.

kelpie pls.

was about to ask if this was the thread that was in the beta forums that i supported but i just saw my post on the first page so i guess it is? or did you post this on both sections?

support again anyways. glad we're finally getting something done.

i mentioned void and crystal armour in the patch notes thread and balance said they were aware of it. we have to find if other sets are missing info and post about it there i guess.

Original message details are unavailable.

Yes - we need to do some work before Void and Attuned Crystal will display their effects.

Obsidian already shows individual item damage reduction effects, afaik it hasn't got a set bonus in addition

I'll check for ghost hunter and piercing notes robes later, pvp armours are added to the list, thank you

/update: Neither of them shows the set bonus, added them to the list
/update 23.02: Checked for demon hunter, it does show its set effect


ty for info+updates. bump.

would love it if the tooltips were updated to show the activation chance. e.g. warpriest has a 3-6% activation chance (activation chance based on # of pieces worn), but this isn't explained anywhere. at least it isn't with tuska warpriest (can't check the others because i disassembled them).

funnily enough, i was going to make this post because i wanted to suggest that the raid armor reset effect activation chance (that's a mouthful) be updated to work like the warpriest one (aka chance based on # of pieces worn). i just checked wiki and apparently this is already the case? seems obvious but i was never sure. would be great if i could find this info immediately by looking at my gear instead of wondering for ages because i was too lazy to check the wiki. can we get more info on this effect as well instead of just "chance"

also i just checked and the enhanced yaktwee stick doesn't show it's 5% bonus xo in a tooltip or examine text.

just remembered yesterday i was checking to make sure i was getting defence xp and noticed the melee/ranged/magic/defensive/prayers tabs. hadn't clicked on those in probably a year or two. i was thinking that these could get a lot of love with an overall tooltip revamp. at the moment tooltips have a bunch of useless storytelling and not enough useful info.

e.g. Teleport Block: Prevent the targeted player from using tel*port spells and items for 5 minutes.
Entangle: Prevents creatures from moving for 24 seconds, or players for 12 seconds.
(story time)
Needle Strike: Launch painful needles at your target that reduces their resistance to critical hits???
Dazing Shot: Shoot an arrow that detonates on contact with the target, dazing them.
Asphyxiate: Reach out with magical force and choke the life from your target...

i think the useless info could be removed from tooltips and have them only contain important info like status effects inflicted, damage values/ranges, whether or not it's a combo attack, how long it lasts, etc. the storytelling could then be moved to the melee/ranged/magic/defensive/prayers tabs "drag here" section. there's even a little window with your npc in it which could be updated to work like the beasts tab "learn" section, where your character would be animated and it would perform the highlighted ability. the animating thing isn't necessary at all but just something i thought of when i saw those tabs lol.

I didn't start compiling passive effects (I define them as items able to activate their effects without needing to rely on other items to activate a set effect for instance) yet, as currently none of them shows it (I could provide a full list at most, but I don't think that will help more than saying it as is).


sorry, i didn't understand this. i don't know if this is in reply to something i said or just generally speaking about passive effects since i brought them up.

I'll need to take a look into that ability stuff, there also was an extremely good compilation for them back then in the beta forums (but I assume it wasn't rescued over when the beta was closed last year), as the information shown isn't correct (actual damage values can vary from the tooltip for instance)

yeah, i remember that thread. not sure who made it though so can't ask if it was backed up.

That was intended as a direct reply to your yaktwee stick entry, hope that clarifies it again.

i understand now, thanks. i kept thinking about how that related to wp/raids and couldn't make sense of it, didn't notice how it applied to yaktwee.
