(BUG) Citzal's Lance not working with affliction-causing abilities

[TheMetaphysician]

When I cast Citzal's Lance, and then use Gouging Strike or Arterial Strike on a group of enemies, only the one enemy directly targeted is affected. The other enemies in the area of effect (which still comes up when selecting the ability) are not even attacked by the strike, not even with a regular attack. Others have reported that the same is true with Citzal's Lance + Stunning Surge.

I can confirm this for version 4.0.1 with Citzal's Spirit Lance and Whispers of the Endless Paths: no afflictons get transported via AoE like it used to. Hand mortars' and Blast's AoE etc. still work.

Bumpedy bump.

Salutations Metaphysician, 

 

I will be sending this issue in for investigation. Would you happen to have a save file and output log of the issue occurring? Any additional information would also be helpful towards the investigation.

You can use mine:

You will find my MC Monk standing in front of some dummies.

He has Spirit Lance equipped.

Combat hasn't started yet (obviously).

 

If you use Stunning Surge on the dummies you will notice that only the initial target gets stunned AND also only the initial target gets Resonances from Resonant Touch.

 

Switch to Hand Mortars (first weapon set). Use Stunning Surge and observe how all dummies get stunned and all get Resonances from Resonant Touch. This is how Citzal's etc. worked before this bug (I hope it's a bug).

Thanks for catching this. In my current run I have a battlemage aloth poised right below 13th level.
