+Spell Damage % does not appear to be functioning
-
My character is currently wearing 4 piece Tier 3 Scholar's set for +20% Spell Damage with no enchants. I also have 4 points into Devastating for +16% more Spell Damage.
I have tested attacking a Young Wolf with the following parameters:
No Magic Talents and naked: 200 Damage with Firebolt
With Talents and naked: 200 Damage with Firebolt
No Magic Talents and 4 piece Tier 3 Scholar Set: 200 Damage with Firebolt
Magic Talents and 4 Piece Tier 3 Scholar Set: 200 Damage with Firebolt

- How did you get the Tier 3 Armor set? Considering Prometheus said that the starter towns aren't even supposed to be letting us craft beyond tier 1, so that's a glitch, I wouldn't be surprised if the additional functionality of the higher tier gear is disabled and the game is treating tier 3 gear as if it were normal right now.

He could be using a player built city.

I used the starting town in the North West next to Goblin Hill. I went to the tailoring table and clicked on Scholar's Clothing. Clicked on the Weave and chose Primal Weave. I then was able to create all 4 pieces. I did receive the huge willpower buffs from the armor, just not the +Spell damage.
The +spell damage also does not happen from the talents as well.

@Threather have you tested it with magic missile?? I'm pretty sure you will need a fire staff for +fire spell damage... There is a major difference between magic damage and elemental damage in this game.
-
I tested Magic missiles with +0% spell damage and with +36% spell damage. My max damage was 185-190 on Young Wolves.
Also, the tool tip says "Spell Damage". My assumption was that "Spell Damage" affects all spells, not a specific magic type like an element or arcane/magic.

Nice catch. Thanks for this
-
@Shivashanti didn't you figured same?
-
Tested this too with just the bonus spell damage talent. There is no effect.
-
Yes the spell dmg didnt exist i can confirm it.
-
I have done a few more tests. The +Spell Damage apparently works on Shocking Lash. In addition to Firebolt, +spell damage does not work with Fireball, fire Totem, Magic Missile, Poison.

It seems it's not working on many spells indeed, we're working on a fix! Apologies
