16.4.4 Removed Volt's Electric Shield's Normal Multipliers Along With The Bugged Ones

[lukaself]

Looks like that when you fixed the bug that gave electric shield insane multipliers, as per :

 

"Fixed Volt’s Electric Shield giving improper damage multipliers as per: https://forums.warfr...-absurd-damage/"

 

You also took away the previous perfectly reasonable 60% added electric damage and 200% crit damage multiplier that it had previously when shooting through. These bonus were present since I started playing warframe - please give them back.

 

I noticed it because my weapons did not proc electric status after the update and that my 100% critical chance weapons were not getting any dmg bonus when going through the electric shield.

 

as usual : @DE Please Fix ! ^^

 

These bonus are a staple of the Volt strategy and Volt Prime being my main frame, you can count on me to notice weird behaviours.

 

Edit : looks like the damage bonus loss was not persistent I'll add screenshots as soon as it happens again (if it does). hopefully it was only a one time issue - Although some people were reporting similar issues in the 16.4.4 thread.

What weapon do you use? just tested it myself and it work with pretty much with everything except for Dread and Attica. the electric damage still works and the crit damage is still double on other weapons

And now I have no more problems Oo

 

I don't know what triggered it, but I definitely experienced the loss of the damage bonus on multiple playthroughs this morning. I only went and testing specifically because people were reporting the loss of the bonus on the 16.4.4 update thread. So I thought I could verify it - Which I did, with continuous fire weapons as well as bolt weapons, I even went as far as testing with an Amprex, which are notoriously a pain to troubleshoot because of the arcs. Grenade Launchers explosions to my knowledge never benefited from the bonus so I did not test them. (they did though : https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/446728-tonkor-does-not-seem-to-be-affected-by-electric-shield/#entry5007418) I also tested all of them with punchthrough and multishot mods on and off.

 

Here I am, ready to take screenshots...  and no issue whatsoever. (Well, electric shield has a number of issues, but they already have their own thread)

 

I'll stop looking into it for now but if people experience this issue, please let me now.

 

EDIT : All of yesterday :

"Also, the fact that when they fixed this bug, they also caused a bug where the shield gives no damage bonus and another where if you die with a shield up you can't shoot through it anymore, but thats all fine and dandy right?"Flowen231

 

"Now shield gives NO damage boost.

That is actually worse than before :l."fatpig84

 

"Also, Volt Shield is not working at all anymore. I'm not getting extra range or damage from my Amprex. Hope they resolve this soon, I was loving Volt so much I'm in the process of building Volt Prime."SloBurn

 

"the shield become just a discount frost globe. it supposedly has crit chance modifier and some damage."jordzkie05

I made a run with my Amprex + Electric Shield yesterday: something was not right, AT ALL ..

 

Now, I do agree the shield stacking made it OP and, yes, fixing it seemed morally appropriate , but I got no Bonus whatsoever, not even the hit-scan (killing off Amprex by the way) ...

 

Is it fixed as of now ?
