Dominating Gaze affected Serafen the moment he hit the fampyr with Death of 1,000 Cuts (the creature didn't even use the ability, i.e. there was no 'gaze' animation). Another problem here is that the regular fampyrs only have Charming Gaze available. I think that the others have reported similar problems regarding Dominating Gaze being used to retaliate against single-target abilities.

Greetings,

 

And thanks for reporting this issue We'll have it logged and investigated by our Devs.

 

Cheers.

Same as Terrifying Gaze from Lich. Any single-target ability will be retaliated by gaze.

I have also triggered this bug with Wounding Shot and a rogue with Deep Wounds, against both fampyres as well as liches: every DoT tick triggers the gaze.

 

Relatedly, my friendly cipher triggers Psychic Backlash on every tick when affected by either Wounding Shot or Deep Wounds from an enemy.
