+ to DMG shields from items

[icehard]

I have some items that gives a + to my dmg shield but they do not show up
on my DS or mystats is this not working or is it bugged?

[ChaosSlayer]

make sure you have actual DS spell buff on you. +DS items only improve a DS buff you have, they don't work by themselves

i dont think this feature has ever worked on emu. is there a hard-cap?

The feature works just fine on EZ server. On EZ it shows up as a higher damage in the "has been hit by a non-melee for ____" emote.

I do not believe this feature is turned on for the server due to the Titanium build the server uses. (+dmg shield came along much later iirc) If it is, it is broken or turned off purposefully, and only a GM could say.

Check your filters and go let something hit you.

This worked when the server was first launched; I don't see why it would just stop working. As an above poster said, make sure you have an actual DS on because +DS items only add a DS if you already have a DS spell cast on you.

For example, druid DS does 24 dmg, you have +6 DS from items, that 24 DS now does 30. With no spell-based DS then you will a 0 DS, even if you have DS from items.

Do a test like that, but if you do then make sure you take *all* DS items off, get hit, then put a DS item on. The reason for this is that there is a DS from items hardcap (30 by default). If you are over the cap, at say 40, then take off a DS +6 item, then the number will not change because you are still at the cap of 30!

i'm saying it only does the dmg thas in the spell discription there is no +dmg

[antihero]

So there is a cap @ 30? Good to know.
