Items that increase bomb/trap damage are bugged

They simply do not increase their damage.

This would be for Witcher 2 correct ?

 

[Garrison72]

Which items? Explain a bit more.

Yes, for the witcher 2.

see:

http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_scale_armor
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Kaedweni_falconer%27s_gauntlets
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Thyssen%27s_armor
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Temerian_falconer%27s_gauntlets

None of them increase bomb/trap damage at all.

This is something I'll be aware of when using those items. We need to determine if everyone is experiencing it, or just some copies of the game. this is also why I wish the battle log would be stored in the character panel. It would be easier to ferret this stuff out.

The problem is that people do not try to look for these things and simply rely on what is written. There are many items in this game which are suppose to do certain things according to their desctiption but they just don't.

Here's a list of those items so far:

- Dragon's Dream bomb - Igniting te gas doesn't inflict damage nor does it cause incineration.
- Poisoned harpy claw throwing daggers - These never inflict poison even though they have "+90% poison"
- Sting throwing daggers - These never inflict freezing even though they have "+50% freeze"
- Clawer Trap - It never inflicts bleeding even though it has "+50% bleeding"
- All the +bomb/trap damage items I mentioned

You've tested this I assume. We need a dev response...

Are you looking at the combat log, or at the character screen? Because a lot of enhancements that show up in combat are not listed on the character screen. Also, some of the enhancement values on the Wiki page are out of date.

I'm looking at the combat log.

About the Dragons dream bomb .... it releases a gas which ignites when you use igni so basically you have to use the bomb then igni sign to light the gas which causes a blast and incinerates enemies ....
And ive also noticed that the poisoned harpy claws dont poison the enemies ......

The gas WHEN IGNITED doesn't deal any damage or incineration. DD bomb is bugged.

Agreed. Also agreed with the two dagger problems and the claw trap. The others may also be correct, but I haven't used them much.

 

[gaminallthetime]

the gas incinerates enemies in my case ... they have to be in the cloud for effects to take place ....

The incineration/damage you got is probably from the bomb/Igni's own aoe, not the gas. Try it with level 1 Igni and you'll see that igniting the gas damages one target only.

I was using igni lvl 1 and ive only tried it twice and it has worked ......

Does it work for you in 2.0 with no mods? If so, you're ought to test this again 'cause, as you can read above, I'm not the only one with this bug.

 

[gaminallthetime]

So i tried it again and now it only seems to damage and sometimes incinerate the one on which i use igni or grapeshot ....

 

[GuyNwah]

I confirmed the "no bonus to bomb damage" from Thyssen's Armor. With Grapeshot bombs, I consistently got damage no more than 55, even though the damage range is 40-55 (at level 1 Alchemy) and Thyssen's Armor is stated to give a 50% bonus.

Notice also that equipping the items does not increase the bomb/trap damage multiplier in the attributes screen.

I'm going only by what I see in the combat log for verifications. I'm not sure the attributes screen is complete or accurate; I'm more likely to believe that the combat log tells you what damage you actually dealt.
