Envenom casting 5-7 damage spells from one arrow seems like that has to be a bug, and a pretty glaring one.

Of note in the first snippet is that the first arrow missed, so that is the second arrow casting 5 damage spells.

I'm not sure anybody can see that and think it's "mechanics working as intended". You have to know you are abusing a bug when you see that and deliberately decide to use it against other players without reporting it.

Lazeran parries a legionnaire captain's attack.


I didn't even notice this the first time I read the log, but that "pound" is a melee hit from the bow, and Afeak's death (head explodes) is the death message for dying from one of the cause spells, so hitting with the bow in melee still caused envenom to go off.

So apparently not only can you poison arrows but also the bow (despite it not being a piercing or slashing weapon). I assume the 5-7 spells firing off are caused by envenoming both.

This mechanic really needs a second look, and anybody using it like this is probably abusing a bug.

Yea that has to be obvious bug abuse (if they knew it would happen) :/ Jeez. Reminds me of when people abused a backstab bug or something like that, that would loop the backstab, so it would hit several times, or something like that.

I envenomed 11 arrows with multiple cause critical potions and cause light herbs. Never did the bow though. No idea why the bow cause it. I honestly am still trying to figure out envenom and that was only the second time I used it.

Fine fine.
I am just under the impression that this is a very high priority issue, as it is currently breaking the game.
I was just wanting to see some acknowledgement that there is an issue here.
I don’t want to see Trag get busted for bug abuse. But it’s like to get some sort of statement on it.
