unique items *no longer updated*

So many unique items!

There's a disproportionally low number of 1h weapons (namely wands, hammer/sceptre, claw, axe), torso pieces, and even belts.

It would be nice if they could roll out some of those.

used 5-10 orbs of chance on imbued wands and crafted this:

Anyone else have tried Chin Sol unique bow?

I bought one for some testing with my point blank ranger. And to me it seems like it does no increased damage to close target at all. I have another bow, with combined damage for normal attack very close. Switched between both bows to see damage on the same enemies and damage is pretty much the same :/ Did this for 10 min's and it just feels like damage is roughly the same. I don't know, maybe it just feels like it's the same, but 100% multiplicative increase seems like something that would really show on monsters hp.

I also assumed this would stack with Point Blank keystone because while effect is similar, it increases damage by 100% instead of 50% and has no decresed damage at range.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

It should stack with point blank.

Thanks for the reply.

I did some more testing. It flat out does not work. Went to a lower difficulty twilight strand. Removed point blank keystone. Removed any gear that gives any sort of damage for good measure. I used default attack. At the edges of the screen on average I take 2/3 of the zombies hp. At melee range, where he is hitting me the same average. I put back in my point blank keystone and 50% damage at close range is VERY noticable, I kill it 90% of the time with exactly the same gear. Here 100% seems to give no effect. Any ideas? Am I missing something?

Edit: removed a question I found an answer to :)

OK, we will test.

One quick thing to note, if you are continuing to test, the bonus from Chin Sol doesn't tail away like Point Blank does, its all or nothing, within the short range you get 100%, outside it you don't get it.

So, it either works all the time or never from his testing :)

Heh, what I was trying to confirm was that he was getting close enough. If you get close, you can get a bonus (but not the full bonus) from Point Blank, without triggering the close range bonus for Chin Sol.

I didn't want to to suggest that was the problem, as it may well be failing, just something to try if he wanted to keep testing. Rory is about to try it internally now.

OK, we just tested Chin Sol, it failed to have its bonus on our staging copy of the Beta realm, but worked on our internal testing copy of the game.

Now we have to work out why, and put a fix in!

Thanks for letting us know! Sorry your experience of the item was not what it should be.
