Citzal's Spirit Lance not working with Monk abilities since Forgotten Sanctum

[soo]

Hi, I would like to report a bug. Ever since i patched the game with Forgotten Sanctum, my Sage (monk + wizard) equipped with citzal spirit lance is bugged.

 

When I try to use stunning blow or force of anguish on a group of enemies, normally what happens is everyone in the AoE of spirit lance will be stunned / proned.

 

What happens now after the patch, if I use the skills, instead of everyone in the AoE getting damaged + stunned, only the target I have selected is damaged and stunned, while my character is forced in a loop and will keep repeating the stunning blow until either my mortification is 0, the target dies or I miss. There is no recovery between the attacks.

 

Attached is a save file right before a battle, just cast Citzal's Spirit Lance, and then try to use stunning surge / efficient anguish on targets and you'll get an idea what's happening. The output log is right after a battle with the bug. Please fix this asap as my character is built around combining the spirit lance's aoe and monk abilities.

 

File is too big to upload with the native forum uploader, so this is the link to my saved game.

It seems to be a problem with most AoE weapons now. There's a similar bug report for Whispers of the Endless Paths.

I've been having the same issue with Citzal's plus Mule Kick.

Hi, thank you for your time. However, I have tested this on the latest patch (v4.0.1) and the bug is still not resolved.

I believe BMac confirmed in a different thread on the same subject that it'll be fixed in 4.02.

This happens to my Battlemage too (Wizard + Fighter), I was wondering what the hell was going on with my Penetrating Strikes. Mule Kick didn't get stuck in a loop spam, perhaps because the knockup makes the target briefly untargetable? But my Pen. Strike definitely zero recovery loop spammed me out of Discipline quite a few times.
