Ancestral Cry can't exert Riposte Attacks
|
Riposte has as Tags:
Attack Melee Strike Physical Trigger Description of Riposte: Perform a deadly Counter-Attack when you Block. (Important Part of the)Ancestral Cry Description: Exerts the next 8 Melee Strike Attacks you perform Made all the matching Words/Tags Bolt ... in my humblöe Opinion it doesn't make ANY sense whatsoever, that Riposte isn't exerted.

This is not a bug.
Triggered skills aren't used, cast, performed and so on. |
|
" Well the Skill description CLEARLY states otherwise... so either the skill is bugged or the description is bogus and therefore bugged, but something is definatly bugged here! |

Those tags don't mean what you think they do:
" This isn't a bug. As has been stated already: " " https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Trigger "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."

"Exerts the next 8 Melee Strike Attacks you perform"
You do not perform the Riposte. It is triggered. No warcry will exert any triggered attacks. I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.

" Well then GGG should 'fix' the Riposte Gem Description ? All i am saying is, that the Ancestral Cry and Riposte Gem Description combined don't make any sense. |

" Trigger is not really "you" Also GGG like to hide important info in help text by pressing Alt . But the game is so complex that the long game mechanic explanation is scattered in official forum or reddit or sometime paraphrase in the wiki This is the start of forum signature: I am not a GGG employee. About the username: Did you know Kowloon Gundam is made in Neo Hong Kong?
quote from the first page: "Please post one thread per issue, and check the forum for similar posts first" This is the end of forum signature |

" They both do exactly what they say they do though. It's just that triggers are automatic and don't count as you performing an action, using a skill, etc. It doesn't matter what the trigger is or what its source is. If another mechanic requires that "you" do something to interact with it, it's not going to work. There is nothing new about this, and it was clarified by GGG years ago. If it's really that big of an issue, you might want to post in the Feedback forum and suggest that they update Warcry gems to state that they can't exert triggered attacks.

Guess this can be closed .... GGG moved this post out of Bugreports so this obviously isn't a Bug, not that they said so ... they simply moved the post, but who cares ?
Definatly the first and last time i am writing something close to a Bug-report .... all i got was awnsers by other Players that were only backed up with stuff from Player made sides (like the wiki) so no ty! Guess that the Duelist gets a Lesser Poison Support Gem as a Quest reward, but he can't buy it afterwards is working as intended as well ... otherwise it wouldn't be in the game ... i am just to dumb to understand cryptic descriptions and reasoning ...

" " Per GGG, since player knowledge of the game apparently isn't satisfactory enough. Your post got moved here because it is not a bug, and the Gameplay Help area is almost exclusively players helping players. Sorry if we aren't good enough for you. /shrug I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.
