[FIXED] Offensive skill from Defensive stance

Recommended Posts

I was hunting tonight and noticed I was gaining some Offensive fighting skill when in Defensive stance.

 

----

Some ticks seemed to coincide with shield bashes, using a longsword and shield.

 

Some did not coincide with shield bashes at all.

 

Some happened with a steel spear equipped.

 

Defensive fighting skill gain looked normal.

 

I was unable to ascertain which action(s) were getting Offensive gain (parry/strike/block etc.)

 

I was never in Offensive stance, not even once.

----

 

I haven't used a shield for a while, but I used to for a long time and I do not recall this happening before.  Is it a bug?

I saw this marked as fixed in patch notes a while ago, but it happened again today.

Which skill are you getting but shouldn't, exactly?

Agressive fighting, i suppose. I've had this too.

I've been training a lot of defensive over the past few months and I notice an occasional aggressive fighting skill tick too. I'm not sure where they come from.

I do tend to notice them more often when I have to toggle over to aggressive/swap to 2Hers for a quick fight with something nasty like a hellhound...then when I swap back over to defensive + sword/shield combo it acts like it forgot you swapped and gives you a few more aggressive ticks...then eventually fades back to just giving mostly defensive ticks again. I hadn't been able to pin down what causes it though, so I couldn't post it up on here.

happens all the time on very low skill toons from what i've noticed

as in a player with 1 aggressive will get a lot of defensive skill etc

I see it here and there recently  as have been in defensive training shields, I have 50ish defensive, 35 aggressive and near 70 normal.

 

 I'm curious what you think is a very low skilled character.

I reproduced this on live today with one fight in defensive stance.  I got one aggressive fighting skillgain during the fight.  I'll reopen the closed bug to find out if an occasional skillgain is intended or another fix can be tried.
