Sceptor quality bug

Bug Report ID: #1687053420

Placing quality on scepter does nothing.
No increase to spirit, which is what it is supposed to do.

It was never supposed to do that. According to GGG that was a bug and was patched out in the 0.2.0 update, patch note reads: "Fixed a bug where Quality on Sceptres multiplied the amount of Spirit they granted instead of granting Quality to their inherent Skill".

So quality does nothing to a scepter then. I see no stat change, no nothing. Why offer it as an option then? Am I missing something? what is the reason to increase quality on scepter?

It increases the quality of its inherent skills. For example, the Rattling Sceptre gives you the Skeletal Warrior skill. You can see it in the skill gems section and hovering over it you can check what increasing quality does to it (pressing ALT by default on keyboard). Increasing quality on a Rattling Sceptere would give you an increase on the stat "Minions have +0(0-15)% Chance to Block".

nope, nothing changes. quality does nothing, as i said. so why does it allow me to increase quality, when it does not apply any quality.

I am totally with you. Died 3 times on HC, started witch and found out the same, quality means nothing to scepter which is nonsense. Annoying coding. Same as annoying when started tank spear build with Rapid Assault and you can't use gem - final strike to make 2 final strikes in combo like for monk. Damn stupid broken EA.
