Vermin slayer talisman not working?

[munakko]

It doesn't work on barracoon? UOguide.com says it should. It could also be that it doesn't work with archery but UOguide.com says it only doesn't work with spells. So I dont find any reason why it doesn't work with my archer other than it's bugged or not working yet. Anyone knows?

Vermin Slayer - UOGuide

directly from barracoon's page on uoguide.

Barracoon's slayer vulnerability is Repond. Vermin slayer talismans also increase the melee damage done to Barracoon in the same manner of a Repond slayer.
[...]
Barracoon will turn into a Ratman himself after he has received some damage. Slayer weapons, spellbooks, and talismans will not effect Barracoon until he has turned into a rat.

if in this form isn't affected by slayer it's a bug

I confirm first reply

...It doesn't work on barracoon?... Vermin Slayer - UOGuide

You are right with your reasoning:
Vermin slayer talisman works only when Baraccon is in rat form! Works with weapons' increasing DCI, so it has to work with archery!

Anyway (there is not specification of it around the web... at first sight) the question to solve is: talismans affect range weapon?
I'll look up to solve it... let me trying

Vermin slayer talismans also increase the melee damage done to Barracoon in the same manner of a Repond slayer.

it shouldn't work with archery

Ok with that information it shouldn't work with archery. A bit stupid but if it's so, then so be it :P

Ok I did some searching about this so here is the correct information:

Slayer bonus
Simliar in function to the Weapons slayers. These slay previously overlooked group (and in some cases, allows double slayer bonus{weapon/talisman}, like fire elemental, ice elemental). Will never spawn with the Killer bonus. Types are: Bovine, Bat, Beetle, Bird, Bear, Flame, Ice, Mage, & Vermin slayers : 100% additional damage to monsters. (Note only melee weapon damage and archery componded. Magic damage does not apply. Capped at 300% DI. Talisman slayer damage & weapon slayer damage do stack.

So it works with archery and melee but not with spells. The reason why it didn't work on barracoon is in this thread http://forum.gamesnet.it/f637/bug-ve...lisman-533356/

Vermin slayer and archery works correctly right now but they dont work on ratman archers and barracoon, same is for melee weapons. Works on ratmen and other vermin vulnerable creatures but not on those two. Probably some small bug in the code
