@jamairoqui @poptimus I have yet to truly figure out the mechanics of the Bones Set, and I use it exclusively in Arena now. Just when I think I’ve got it, I see something happen that debunks the theory. Obviously the behaviour must follow a defined pattern (it is programming, after all), but so far some of it alludes me.
A Venomous KO on your Chuck will cause a Last Will proc. A KO due to an enemy Thorn/Retaliate/Vengeful Proc will cause a Last Will proc (although can also freeze the battle).
The ambiguity seems to come from what the definition of a “target” is, and where added damage due to AoE/Crit procs falls under this. I know that a SeaDog gang up (ie a secondary attack) will not cause a Last Will proc, so somehow Bomb’s attack is not considered an attack on the target of Chuck, even though it obviously is. Similarly, not all AoE attacks will cause a retaliation, but it is so hard to tell during the battle what actually causes the Chuck KO.
What I mean is, say you attack an enemy Red with Twin Lightning and KO the enemy Chuck equipped with the Bones Set. This should result in a Last Will proc, and often does, but not always. My feeling is that if the KO is caused by a Critical proc from your TL, maybe the blanket effect doesn’t consider Chuck a “target” in this particular case, and so no retaliation. More investigation into this needs to be done, but may prove impossible as I said due to the damage potentially coming from many different sources.
And this should probably have gone in the Set Items thread…
