[4.0 beta] Forbidden Fist

[BloodCurdle]

The way Forbidden Curse works is either not clearly explained in the skill description or is working incorrectly.

Using a character with -36% hostile effect duration and +0% ability duration, on my first cast of Forbidden Fist the duration for Forbidden Curse is ~ 16 seconds. Considering the tooltip says the base duration is 10 seconds, this doesn't really make sense. Is the duration increase on successive stacks applying to the first stack?

[Boeroer]

Yes. An iirc that's explained in the description, isn't it?

[BloodCurdle]

Not really, the description says "as well as increasing the duration of any existing curses". So afaik, that should mean that the initial stack should last 10 seconds, baseline.

[Kaylon]

There's clearly a bug because no matter how much hostile effect duration reduction you stack you can't go under 10s.

[Frak]

Yup, just tested with new char.

On first use in combat - POTD upscaled - "Forbidden Fist" adds the curse with a duration of 19.4 seconds. That's just weird.

Maybe we should open a new bug report in the non-beta section now that 4.0.0.0034 is out of beta?

It seems that it adds a net unmodified +10s on the first cast. Intended or not ?
