Manifest Weapon Bug

Base attack of manifest weapon does not use any additional damage on the weapon (i.e adds 10-15 cold damage) or from a sceptre (i.e. allies in your presence do additional damage).

The special weapon attacks of manifest weapon do use those extra damage sources, but both (base and special attack) do not use added damage from gloves or rings.

You own basic weapon attack without any skilled damage modifiers will almost always do more damage, than a fully skilled (full strength and companion nodes) manifest weapon attack.
