This shit anniversary party has driven more long time players away than the last 5 months combined. I've also seen an influx of some of the most dumbest and entitled sack of shit players in the past weeks. I guess invisible stalker companions, quests with devs as bosses and sucking as much fanboi asshole as humanly possible was a much larger priority than basic game maintenance especially when it comes to their supposed BIG release of legendary loot.

I have been farming for gear for some time now. I finally got all the pieces I needed for my build & when I put on my leathers of celestial sage I saw that the numbers just weren't adding up.







My earthquake DC did not change at all with the insightful spell focus mastery +2 and after some digging I found this old thread.

The last entry was 2 fucking months ago. Vagisil and Steelshit have done nothing to fix this and other issues in 2 fucking months and they all still have a job? They still expect people other than their deep throating twink stablebois to throw money at them and support their continued and sustained fuckery?

Man, they got that MF nerf right, they nerfed the shit out of many builds last year, they fucked with gear with a precision, but they just can't fix basic shit people have put in bug reports for months on.

I guess this is what happens when you get massive amounts of fanboi jizz in your eye, they won't see the problems others are having but they see the ones they have. Maybe this is why most of the faces at Turbine wear glasses.

lol

stacking mistake aside though I agree with the general attitude

Lol good job Novalis.

well the leathers are still broken then but they wouldn't have stacked anyway, both are an insight bonus to the DC

Lol.  Is this supposed to change the fact that you made screen shots that showed you with loot on that contradicted the item you were testing?  You still made an ass of yourself.  This issue has been reported on the forums already several times.  It's not news.  It was just funny that you fucked up documenting it so horribly.

Like I said, your massive fail aside, they need to fix bugs more quickly.

And, your "the anniversary event is driving away long time players" comment is also still unproven, and given your track record, probably more /fail on your part.  Why don't you have a nice dream about it you can share and post about ducks?

Here I am with nothing else equipped except the leathers. My EQ DC is a 57.









So now that we have established a baseline here I am with the leathers off and it's still at a 57.










Where am I getting anything stacking? What other conflicting insightfuls are there? How many clever forum autists didn't take thier Monday meds? I think Asheras needs to get that cock out of his ass and put it back in his mouth so he can shut the fuck up for more than 5 minutes. Cocksuckers....This is the kind of shit I'd expect in the MoBo's from Jerry's kids.

okay, i was actually trying to have your back for a minute there but ya gotta meet me half way and try to comprehend what I am typing for you here.
1. yes the leathers are still broken. it sucks.
2. the leathers would not stack with the ring even if they weren't broken. both are insightful.

I never said anything about the other gear so if ya wanna make cracks about jerry's kids, at least, make sure you are reading it the way I'm typing it first.

It's difficult to have concise and pointed arguments stating facts back with evidence in a civil manner when shit and jizz is being flung everywhere by the likes of fanbois needing to get a jab in at the expense of pulling out & losing their hardon for their Turbine masters. It's difficult for me to tell friend or foe at times and that's when the punkrawk comes out. So thanx for trying to at least provide an opportunity of an even keel.

That being said my argument still stands. Sure the insightful evo on the brazenband and insightful spell mastery are both insightful, but they're 2 separate bonuses, right? Or that is what we've been lead to believe. It just takes away the validity they wouldn't stack anyway since the leathers just dont fucking work on their own period.

Skipping your preference for discussing jizz and devs, and sticking with the game mechanics:

1)  You are correct that the +2 insightful spell focus bonus on the Celestial Sage armor is not WAI.

2)  You are incorrect that a +2 insightful school specific bonus (such as evo) should stack with a +2 insightful generic spell focus bonus.  Generic bonuses do not stack with school specific bonuses of the same type (Equipment bonus).  This flows through to insightful equipment and quality equipment bonuses.  "We" have never been led to believe otherwise.  This is consistent with the handling of Spell power (potency vs. school specific) and PRR (Sheltering vs. physical resistance) and MRR (Sheltering vs. magical resistance) and Saves and Stats (A +1 profane bonus to all stats does not stack with a +3 profane bonus to strength specifically).  Bonuses of the same type do NOT stack.

The Topaz of Greater Evocation does stack with the insightful spell focus or insightful evocation focus as it is not an equipment bonus.  It is an enhancement bonus.

have never played a druid so I just don't know, does shadow armor break the druidic oath? I would assume it does not
