Vampiric Lore

[Nodnal]

Could someone check to see if Vampiric Lore and Spell Casting Fury stack properly? I haven't done extensive testing, but when I cast around 50 lifetaps, I only got 3-4 crits and when I talked to Jose he had parsed long ago and said that they used to not stack. If it will be hard to see if they stack, I can parse some to see if it indeed does not stack. If it is something that could be checked on in a few minutes and someone has some extra time, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a bunch!

While I don't have time right now to go and parse this, I don't think they stack as (afaik) you cannot crit a lifetap at all without vampiric lore....


... but it's been a while.

I never new they were supposed to stack.

I am pretty sure that Felyn has crit his lifetaps from his shroud proc buff and his werefrog idol.

Also, if they are NOT supposed to stack, could I get some information on whether or not Eternal and Supreme charms help with lifetaps?

I am occasionally running with three lifetap procs on my bard. Bracer/werefrog/and sk proc clicky and have never seen a lifetap crit.

According to the code, lifetaps are distinctly and very purposefully different from regular DD's, and as far as AA's are concerned, ONLY gain crit from Vampric Lore. Other Crit AA's do nothing.

Before asking if this is a mistake, its literallyl coded
if(lifetap)
use vampric lore
else
use casting fury aa's

So it's a pretty clear it was done purposefully. Which makes sense given how differently lifetaps work when compared to every other kind of DD.

The charm focus effects SHOULD work, for the same reasons that they crit when an enchanter curse lands. The above is only for AA's.

I don't have any parses to back it up, but having played both Jenks and Xach more than what was deemed safe by a medical professional, Jenks' charm does work.

Thank you my good sir. I guess Felyn was just critting because of his charm. Mystery solved!

If accepts arguments? Holy crap, I never knew that. I always just used it with a trailing equation.

That's so cool.
