Strongarms and FC Bug(1)Category: BarbarianSeptember-8-2014 8:48 AM PDT (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Currently using FC does not apply the debuff from strongarms bracers which would be a 30% damage increase in my case. I am wondering if this is a unknown bug or a intentional change by Blizzard.

They work. Just not against monsters that matter. (Bigger monsters, elites.)


I think this is an element of the equation that often gets overlooked when discussing how Strongarm bracers work. Strongarms are definitely working with Furious Charge, but only on monsters that suffer some kind of "knockback" effect.

Because of this, Strongarm Bracers are only BiS roughly half the time. The new BiS is going to be hands down Krelm's Buff Bracers when season resets and those get put into the item pool, because it's much better to never be stunned or knocked back than to receive a damage bonus only 50% of the time.

Please look into this, because I hate elites not taking extra damage even though I can drag a vast majority of them halfway across a map.


I plan on bringing this up in one of our next meetings. I've noticed a number of conflicting reports on how they work, and they can be a difficult thing to test. Thanks!
