Not A Bug Passive Focus

[Jester]

It seems you can only gain focus via casting now, it does not skill passively by regening mana/stamina, I am not sure whether it is still applying its passive increases still or not.

 

[Dexter]

It sure is.

 

[Dexter]

It's actually not gaining when you regen mana. Its gaining fine from stam regeneration.

 

[Jester]

Oh hmm i tried running around and was not getting gains either, I ended up just capping it through casting.

shows :

Focus is the easiest skill to train, even if you don't want to. Every time you regenerate 1 Mana or Stamina you have a chance to gain in Focus.

Is this just inaccurate information?

 

[Iyaoyas]

I also could not getting any gains by running around.

 

[Dexter]

Are you losing stamina? You have to lose stamina in order for it to regenerate.

 

[Iyaoyas]

either you or UO.com is wrong

How to Use:

Similar to the mage’s Meditation skill, Battle Focus will raise passively as you regain Stamina and Mana. You simply need to do anything that lowers your Stamina and Mana in order to increase the level of your skill.

it also says the same thing on uoguide.com
maybe it is fixed now but this is or at least was a bug and if nothing else be acknowledged as one. If you want the players to find and report bugs, then don't dismiss them so easily or make the player prove how/why/what color/ time of day. I get that information helps but …..

Training magery on my alt atm and gaining focus by regenerating mana.

Well, to be more specific:
Female Elf training Magery/EI/Meditation/Focus > focus was raising from mana regeneration
2 weeks ago was raising Chivalry on Female Gargoyle Chivalry/Medit/Focus > Focus was raising from mana regeneration

So this still is not a bug then right?
