Now it gets weird.
Now that I know the glitch has been patched, I decide to head for the catacombs, might as well get rid of Nito first right? So I make it to the first bonfire and kill the first necromancer with three combustions. I don't think anything of it even though I'm only on NG because in my mind I'm like "Well he does shoot fire so I guess he's always been fire resistant" but then I fight a normal skeleton.
My setup:
Crown of Dusk
Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring
Ascended Pyromancy Flame +5
Active Power Within
I deal a grand total of 106 damage to the skeleton with Combustion. Not even close to a one shot.
A NG skeleton.
I warped to other areas and it's the same everywhere with every enemy. It's like everything on my character was mega-nerfed. I cant one shot ANYTHING, not even the asylum hollows. I invade and I still can't deal jack s*** for damage. All the work I put in getting my gear and now my toon is ruined.
F*** you FROM.
I know I should't have been glitching in the first place but there should have at least been a penalty warning or something.
