Bug with spellboosters and junction (in General)

The junction doesn't carry over the 3% DD bonus to my ice familiar. Equiping and removing the boots whilst junction is at 1.00 shows no increase or decrease in the overall DD spell shown in the play by play. Other people can test to confirm this. I assume this is a bug?

You wearing anything with penalties?

Probably but theres no effect when removing the boots when they were equipped in the first place. I don't think they are granting the bonus at all.

take off any gear that would be giving a penalty and try equipping them

Works fine for me.

Did more testing and found that:

-With Mithril shield unequipped junction did transfer the 3% boost when the SB were equipped.
-With mithril shield equipped DD spell in the play by play read 68,283.
-However with both Mithril shield and spellboosters equipped my DD total was 68,261.

Something is wrong here. My junction is at 1.00 so no penalties from the mithril shield should be on the familiar. Yet when I equip just the mithril shield my familiar shoes a penalty

I'll see if I can paste some stuff to make it more clearer.

Not a bug. It's how it works. Junction won't eliminate penalties. It takes anything negative and makes it zero.

Got some figures now. Keep in mind that as my max tattoo level grows, my IF DD will naturally get bigger. Also these are all done in the following order with junction always at 1.00

1. Only IF equipped. DD = 68,289
2. IF + Mithril Shield. DD = 68,292
3. IF + MS + Spell boosters. DD = 68,321
4. IF + MS. DD = 68,325
5. IF + MS + SB. DD = 68,354.

Something is wrong.

Mithril Shield: -7% DD equipped
Spellboosters: +3% DD equipped

Nothing: no change to familiar DD
Mithril Shield: -7% junctioned (negative, no change)
Spellboosters: +3% junctioned (+3%)
Mithril Shield + Spellboosters: -7%+3% = -4% junctioned (negative, no change)

Is that clearer?

Ahhhhhhhhhh. So the -7 isn't carried over as 0 and then the +3 added, but used as -7 + 3 = -4, then carried over as negative, so put at 0. Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up. So in other words my spellboosters are useless :P

and i would imagine the varying DD levels would be your tat growing :P

never mind, misread and thought you were pointing that out as part of the bug >.<
