[Cygnus Summer Knights] Ver.073

Either no one noticed my question, or I asked it in another one of these thousand similar threads. Is the penalty exclusive for Bishops? Or is it directed at non-corresponding elemental skills?

The weapons were already polarized to adversely impact the opposing elements. It was only Bishops that were completely immune to them. You can see the test results of that here. We included that information in the awareness campaign to Nexon on the suspicion that they were only testing with other AM skills and not seeing the gap when they were insisting it was working as intended.

 Test Results fom 7/16

The short and simple of it - Holy Damage was not affected by the wand at all, it was treated as elementally neutral like magic claw and energy bolt.
Ice and Lightning damage were reduced.

Here are the weapons used for testing.
Dragon Staff - 123 mattack

 Spoiler

Elemental Wand 5 - 149 mattack

 Spoiler

All tests were done with the lowest level elemental skills available in order to reduce the range of variation between high/low damage.
The bishop stayed within a range of high 4ks to low 5ks regardless of weapon.

 Spoiler

My Cold Beam did 12k with the weaker weapon, and only low 9's while using the fire wand.

 Spoiler

My ThunderBolt on the other hand did 7 to 8k with the weaker weapon, and only 5 to 6k with the (stronger) fire wand.

 Spoiler

It's clear that these weapons are in fact nerfing - But only directly opposing weapons.
This makes the primary question to Nexon whether they "forgot" holy was an elemental attribute, or whether they did this on purpose to make the weapons non-punitive to bishops.

Where is eos? It's okay to gloat... you've earned it...

I don't have anything to gloat about. This topic has been covered so often there's really nothing more to say on it. All I needed was an answer from Nexon, and I got it. I think only 1/3rd of the people who volunteered to help actually did their part and it still made a remarkable impact. Imagine if the community actually took things seriously and gave real effort to an issue?
