Very impressive Amazon Games. It is not like focus users couldn’t play the game like they were supposed to from the start.

You should watch a video on amber gem scaling. I think you’re losing something like under 10 damage per attack due to scaling. It’s a really tiny issue.

they aren’t working at all. You get nothing from focus.

Eh lol you are quite wrong.
If you use any cut amber above the cut flawed amber gems on a FOC build you actually do less damage, atleast on my test on the great axe.
Amber Gem test on wolves outside WW Killed 10 wolves each time. Using all same gear 53 str and 193 foc, only the gem in the GA changes, using the cabalist faction GA.
Test 1 Cut flawed Amber 20%
470 and 235 white damage numbers = total damage of 705
Test 2 Cut Amber 30%
411 and 275 white damage numbers = total damage of 686
Test 3 Cut brilliant Amber 40%
353 and 315 white damage numbers = total damage of 668
Result of total damage tells me the Amber gems are broken using Amber gems beyond flawed actually decreases your total damage due to the FOC part not scaling properly even though the str part is reduced properly.
At the end when I went back to flawed cut amber I tested heavy attacks white numbers same place same wolves outside WW
Cut brilliant Amber 40%
539 and 504 for total of 1043 damage
Cut flawed Amber 20%
719 and 376 for a total of 1095 damage

need this fix please, so annoying from the start doing less damage than intended. Now that healing is nerfed, let us do some damage atleast.

Didnt they post before release that focus Scaling, was indeed, nerfed to 20% max?
Bump
Funny I watched a video on this exact topic doing the same stuff that shows it stops scaling but isn’t worse scaling.
And the difference in damage lost is miniscule on that video. Are you saying he spoofed the numbers? Do you have a different video?
Did you ever question that these mobs might have different resist stats for physical and magic
He states he killed the same mobs each time.

Has there been an official response yet on this?
I’m willing to role with whatever the final development decision is, but having incorrect text in-game is just plain confusing.
At this point, I’d appreciate anyone at Amazon saying “we’re here and we hear you”.

this is incorrect. it is not Scaling AT ALL from focus. its super fun being a level 60 and hitting mobs for 400 damage while questing or farming. while people complain about light staff users we cant kill anything at all.

I implore you to try it yourself.

I killed the same wolves just outside of WW each time and both damage numbers were white so no resistances etc to anything. I also made sure the wolves hit me once each time first before doing a single light attack so the wolves were facing me on each attack. No crits involved.
The only thing I didn’t test was using the axe with no amber gem at all.

I don’t have anything set up to take videos right now, I did this test for myself to know what gem to put in my axe as some people in my company discord were skeptical about this being so broken. I got no reason to lie on this so you can believe or not…I know it’s true so do the others that have tested it themselves and didn’t botch the test by attacking mobs with some kind of resistances.
Both sets of damage numbers were white every.time in every single attack which is the best way to test this.
Guide:
Blue means reduced damage.
White means no modifier.
Yellow means increased damage.
Orange means critical hit.

well that explains alot. I thought something wierd was going on with the amber gem in my Ice Gauntlet. Upgraded the gauntlet and the gem and it felt less effective

I can’t even place amber gems on great axe.
It has to be a CUT amber gem. not just a amber gem.
Amber gems are still like in raw unpolished form like a prospector would find and has different qualities like flawed, normal, brilliant and pristine…you then have to “cut and polish” them to make proper usable gems.
