Hey guys!
Usually, when i run to the gate with Levers, i kill that 1 bandit on the way. Depending on my load-in-time i either kill him with my axe or with my bow.
My warrior uses full knights insignia, 1 absorption rune. My shield gives 9 armor (i don t hit the requirement tho) +9 vs charr -2 hex.
Now, when i run towards him to kill him with my axe and i use frenzy, he deals 22 dmg with flare. When i attack him with my bow he deals 26 dmg with flare (i also frenzy).
The weird thing is that i m under the effect of the vanguard buff in both scenarios. So, afaik, the shield shouldn t make any difference...
WTF... ideas?

That’s interesting. The base armor of the shield might be causing the difference. I know the wiki says the vanguard buff cancels it. But I used to also believe armor boosting insignias were canceled until a player I met debunked this. So the wiki isn’t perfect. If there’s no weapon mod causing the difference that’s the only explanation I can think of

It seems that the vanguard buff doesn t work in LakesideCounty.
The bandit always deals the same dmg, with or without the armor buff. I also checked other skill-using enemies in Pre (Skal in the cave in Lakeside, IceElementals, BanditFirestarters in other areas) No difference with or without Buff.
Also: Fire-Eles from "Charr at the Gate" deal the same amount of dmg with flare as JawSmokeskin does- both with Vanguard Buff.
The guy who had the quest wanted to go on and didn t let me check again if the charrdmg stays the same without the buff, so that is something that i d like to check, in case somebody still has this quest open.
I assume the buff just works on enemies with a lvl of minimum 6. This also may be the reason why people sometimes still insist that bonus insignias work with the buff on, they probably didn t test it in the Northlands.
Edit: ty apollo =) just read it after i pressed post
