3rd spear and stat gains

1
Author Content Date
Noticed xp/stat gain difference using only 2nd vs using only 3rd
Numbers may be out by a couple of hits (0.01%/hit) moving mouse to see xp when increase notice comes up
3rd
40.49% str
44.07% str (3.58%)

2nd
47.29% str (3.22%)
50.56% str (3.27%)
53.81% str (3.25%)
57.05% str (3.24%)
60.29% str (3.24%)
63.53% str (3.24%)
66.76% str (3.24%)

3rd
70.46% str (3.7%) - halted some auto attacks to squeeze in some more 3rd's to see if increased %

2nd
73.66% str (3.2%)
76.88% str (3.22%)
80.13% str (3.25%)
86.62% str (3.25%)
89.87% str (3.25%)
93.10% str (3.23%)
96.32% str (3.22%)
99.57% str (3.25%)

I know 3rd data is limited but there were no str slows i entered that explains the 0.32% and 0.46% difference and the 2nd spear shows what should be consistent gains(3.24% avg). Also if its true, I didn't want to lose out on almost 0.3str a level testing it.

Just wondered if its working as intended.

It will be because of different damage output of the two auras.

Can check this by killing a monster fully using 2nd aura make note of exp gain then another with 3rd aura and make note of exp gain then compare the two. Even this will not be perfect because the auras randomize their damage output slightly.

I was under the impression each mob gives a set amount of xp so it wouldn't matter what you used to kill it, should give the same xp either way. Just takes a different amount of time. I have a feeling looking at Qiangs figures 3rd spear doesn't give any stats just xp. I noticed it earlier myself and stopped using it and went back to 2nd. Also when I learnt 2nd aura npc didn't take Kobold teeth off me either.

Lil' bump, because this can be pretty damaging in the long run for a player that is unaware of this.

Also, while on the topic of spear, it's always bugged me how 4th is not range 2. Would it not make sense for it to be range 2 like every other attacking spear aura? Might see it used once in a blue moon then.

Edit: Found the issue was looking in the wrong place. The bug is in the database both HP Drain and Master HP Drain have the wrong type set that prevents stat gain from using the aura.

Edit2:The fix is now on the live server. I checked other auras for the same issue and there wasn't any others set wrong.

I can't see anything wrong in the code. Stats for 2nd (Piercing Power) and 3rd (HP Drain) spear aura (or any aura) are all increased in the same way with the damage that was appled. The only other difference is that 2nd is a multi-target aura and that just means it will give you exp and stat increases for each target.
