Melas panoplia forgemaster buff bugged

I don't have the patience to set up a video or imgur thing but I attempted to make a build last night and noticed a few things were not working as intended when you acquire the forgemaster buff: Roaring flames does not stack or refresh (except very inconsistently if you throw it VERY far away) when the hammer kills an enemy, but works normally if the buff is gone. Hands on mod doesn't work at all with the buff The mods that make orbs from melee kills work very inconsistently. Even with three on you get one orb every maybe ten seconds instead of basically every kill. The mods that give energy on melee hit for other abilities don't work with the buff on I think sol invictus might also not work but I'm not certain, I only tried it for a moment Things that surprisingly work with the buff on: Fragment that gives radiant on hit New pit of heresy four-piece set bonus [b]Closing thoughts:[/b] Bottom line I think that something in the code has made forgemaster override being a certain melee type. It clearly still counts as a melee because the fragment and set bonus still activate. I don't know what possibly happened because it used to work before. I hope the team can fix this before it gets stuck like this forever because the set bonus pairing is what I've always wanted Melas to be.

  • Hello there, Thank you for reaching out. Based on what you listed, this looks less like one mod failing and more like Forgemaster not being recognized correctly by several melee-related hooks at once. If Roaring Flames, Hands On, orb-generation mods, and melee-energy-return mods all stop working only while the buff is active, that definitely sounds worth investigating. For now, the main workaround would be to avoid relying on Forgemaster for builds that need those melee-based mod and aspect triggers, since you are already seeing the behavior return to normal once the buff is gone. If you can, please share: your platform whether this is happening every time with Melas Panoplia or only after a longer session whether Sol Invictus is also failing consistently with the buff active whether taking off all melee-related armor mods changes anything at all Thanks again for laying this out so clearly.
