[.981][Bug]Bloodthirsty Trait Not Working As Intended

from Elemental Forums

Screenshots of my Bloodthirsty Spearmen (+25% attack vs damaged enemies) in melee range of two enemies, one injured and one not.

As you can see by the tool tip in the second image, they are apparently receiving no bonus against the damaged enemy.

Here are the GameModifiers from CoreAbilities.xml

<GameModifier>
                <ModType>Unit</ModType>
                <Attribute>AdjustUnitStat</Attribute>
                <StrVal>UnitStat_Attack_Blunt</StrVal>
                <Multiplier>1.25</Multiplier>
                <Provides>+25% Blunt Attack vs Damaged Opponents</Provides>
                <vsDamaged>1</vsDamaged>
            </GameModifier>
            <GameModifier>

                <Attribute>AdjustUnitStat</Attribute>
                <StrVal>UnitStat_Attack_Cutting</StrVal>
                <Multiplier>1.25</Multiplier>
                <Provides>+25% Cutting Attack vs Damaged Opponents</Provides>
                <vsDamaged>1</vsDamaged>

                <Provides>+25% Piercing Attack vs Damaged Opponents</Provides>
                <vsDamaged>1</vsDamaged>
            </GameModifier>

I see no value tag and it makes me wonder if the Multiplier tag is working properly.

Good catch!  I think we've been being deceived by many of the hero traits.  Nine months of Beta testing was all a lie.

Hm silly me never noticed this when looking through the other broken traits...

Meaby this is part of why trained units are/were so rubbish ;)

probably not ^_^ I guess it changes how busy they are, seems like sometimes SD goes through tons of posts quickly, other times they are asleep, they should live on the forum like some other people :p

Oh wow, combined with a fixed finesse trait, our unit traits might work soon and all that :)

i remember heavenfall saying all traits are calculated just  when taken

so it doesnt look like this ability can update if that was true

unless the hardcode for vsdamaged should refresh the trait each time, dunno

well charge is bound to a turn not an active check

but yeah, if brute works perfectly then forget what i said it was probably stupid :D
