Subject: ----->*[BUG]*: Curse of Agony - Warlock Curse |
| |
After a day of responses after posting this topic in the warlock forums I discovered that this was generally uncommon knowledge. That is - the spell "Curse of Agony" will not deal damage to a target player (or monsters) if the warlock who has cast it dies. Once the warlock falls, the spell damage will stop damaging the enemy, regardless of the spell being amplified by "Amplify Curse".
A general thought was that it was possible this was bugged because of how the +shadow damage gear did not work correctly with Curse of Agony.
---
The way Curse of Agony displays its damage is like a melee hit:
Corruption says something like this
"Target XXXX suffers YY damage from your Corruption"
CoA says something like this
"Your CoA does XXX damage to Target"
Same as a standard melee attack, not like any other spell.
This is also a theory as to why the curse does not work right, and many are hopeful the fix to +shadow gear working will also bring this fix.
On players every other DoT and Curse, regardless of class, except for Curse of Agony, will afflict the target after the caster's death.
I'm not currently on a test server, but myself and the rest of the warlock community would appreciate it if those who are testing and are warlocks would look into this to see if the new patch fixes this issue.
If this is not a fixed issue we ask if this is a bug?
Or is it "working as intended". If so - why?
Thank you.

In the future, please post bug reports relating to the retail build on the Bug forum.
However, this issue has been noted.
Thanks.
