Two Holosmith Bugs

[Chromazene.4807]

 

1) Photon Forge countdown regularly and without cause increases by 1 second, multiple times per photon forge period.  

2) Disengage Photon Forge and Engage Photon Forge frequently fail to apply Mechanized Deployment benefit of removing 1 condition from user.

Per the wiki , Mechanized Deployment is also bugged for Mech commands, so it might be just the trait itself doesn't count PF as a toolbelt skill. Also I am not sure Photon Forge is considered a toolbelt skill for all other things? Isn't it functionally a kit?

edit: it's not a bug since "Engage Photon Forge cannot activate this trait." is listed on the trait.

Then why would they make Disengage Photon Forge activate it but not Engage Photon Forge?  Especially when both trigger Kinetic Battery.

 

Also, Optimized Activation considers Disengage Photon Forge as a Tool Belt Skill... so...

 

Furthermore, Photon Forge is not considered an engineering kit.

 

Also, that still doesn't account for the extra seconds added to Disengage Photon Forge in general.

I'm just telling you it isn't a bug. It is intended behavior or else it would not be listed that clearly on the tooltip.

I get that, but I can tell you of a lot of supposedly intended behaviors listed in tooltips that actually weren't intended.  For instance, Spectral Shield tooltip used to not list condi dmg reduciton as a benefit... even though it actually did.  It took me making a support ticket to get that tooltip fixed.
