Miscellaneous: paladin /sk defense skill bug-230

[Kaziel]

Bump, stop ignoring the best group tanks. This is a critical issue for our classes.

Pro tip: zoning into CS has given me a 100% success rate to update my stats. Haven't done any parsing though.

It's weird that CS is the key... No other Velious, Kunark, or old world since seems to fix the client. Can anyone confirm our deny?

[xKoopa]

Running to CS everytime you log in shouldnt be necessary though..

[Aadill]

Well no it's not something every character should need to do but why does it? That needs to be investigated

Played my paladin for the first time in months today. Logged in in CS and made my way to Seb. Amazingly my Defense skill was working properly in Seb and I skilled up from 224 to 231 (was already 80% thru L58 with skill stuck at 224). Locked up zoning to OT via hammer, finally got client to log back in and Defense shows 224, tho now it's red text.

Client-side UI/display bug with skills (and consequently client-side AC calculation), most likely. There is a bug post for the same issue with bards' instrument skills.

Assuming ranger's dodge skill is being effected the same way as defense skill ?

Wait, Gfay works as well? Hell yeah Tolan's BP. I think the key here is *WHY* are these zones causing the client to accept a change in skill numbers? I still want to do some parsing but it seems quite clear that if I get that last 10 points of my offensive skills "fixed" I suddenly start hitting any and all mobs harder and more often, parsing right near rogues and monks. It made sense when it was just Cobalt Scar as it's clearly a Velious zone and would potentially flag the character as a later timeline, but then all Velious zones should have corrected the bug issues. Since GFay also works then that throws that theory out the window.

I have only noticed offensive skills since they are at the top of the skill list but will confirm when I get home.
