Σ 1.7 Bugs&Feedback

So 2 things:

1. While running A5, I had 15 (yes, 15) games straight where some of the barbs that I needed to rescue for Qual has died. (Posted it in the disc. in #General chat with video). While running the sin, I experienced the same thing in normal. When I ran NM, I spoke to Qual 1st before rescuing them and it seems like this might have made them invulnerable? I will test this out more, but it seems that without talking to Qual, the barbs get targeted and die too.

2. At the bottom of the screen where the status effects are, when we hover the mouse over it, can we get a name of the status effect and maybe a timer as well? Could we include this with shrines? This isn't a performance issue by any means, just something that might be helpful.

Thanks for all of the hard work & effort, and I look forward to this next patch too!

Dying in Duncraig; Sometimes I'm unable to re-enter my (town) portal in town.
(Might be due to barrel explosion killing me?)

Its a bug or something. When connected to the cube The Avakening and Sleep char, you can actually throw in an additional / the same trophy. Jugdment Trophy gives + 50% Dmg / Life and 20% Res but only for the first time. For the second + 50% Life, +20% Res but ONLY 25% Dmg.
Check it out twice. He gets + 100% Life but only 75% Dmg.

Playing a Balefire amazon after I found a

Karcheus' Temptation

Karcheus' Temptation
Morion (Sacred)
Defense: (1708 - 2049) to (1728 - 2073)
(Amazon Only)
Required Level: 100
Required Strength: 500
Item Level: 105
+3 seconds to Balefire Buff Duration
Self-Immolation damage per cast unchanged
+(2 to 3) to Amazon Skill Levels
1% Base Block Chance
25% Cast Speed
+25% to Physical/Magic Spell Damage
+(16 to 24) to Balefire
+(100 to 140)% Enhanced Defense
Socketed (4)

with a different build.

I've played both versions. 1 without Karcheus, a couple of weeks ago, and 1 with it now. IotsS alone already turned from absolute cancer to an actually viable farming area just because of this single item. And I'm not even talking about the build becoming absolutely OP. Because it still isn't (looking at you, teleport bosses). It just becomes viable because of Karcheus.

Imho you should consider making this skill independent from Karcheus. By that I mean you should consider turning Karcheus' special effect into a standard part of Balefire.

I'm still testing, so I may or may not update this post. But for now this change seems to be appropriate.

I found some bugs: Barghest's Howl cause connection interruption every 5-10 minutes (wielded by Shapeshifter Merc). And Xorine's Cane bane skill can not be casted

I casted on minion, but nothing happened

Click on your minion when it is near enemies. Works for sure

Bane works on summoned minions, try it with an ice elemental if you're running a Sorc.
