Suppress Affliction - Does not work, and makes situation worse

[RPGzealot]

Dear developers, 

 

Firstly thank you for helping make such a wonderful game which I have had so much fun with!

 

But I just wanted to make all aware of a bug with the Suppress Affliction spell. My understanding is that this spell should suppress any affliction in an AoE for its duration. 

 

However, in my case this does not seem to work at all. In fact, what happens is that the suppress affliction LENGTHENS the duration of any preexisting CC. 

 

Luckily I managed to record this on a recent stream: https://clips.twitch.tv/RealGleamingSalmonJonCarnage

 

Here is a link to my savegame for testing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x5j86SRQdYqVbrwR2mOwY25f2QbpPPKF/view?usp=sharing 

 

Steps to reproduce the bug:

 

1. Cast any affliction on a party member 2. Cast suppress affliction. 3. Observe that the affliction isnt removed and duration of affliction is extended.

 

I hope this can be addressed soon!

 

Thanking you in advance!

 

Best Wishes

Viggy

Hi again,

 

Sorry to post again about this issue, but similar to Suppress Affliction, the paladin's Liberating Exhortation does not appear to remove afflictions for its duration either. It too lengthens pre-existing CC. I'm sure you guys probably know this already but thought I'd just pop a quick message!

 

Thanks so much for the swift response!

I can confirm this is still an issue. Not just with suppress affliction, but any spell that should remove afflictions. I just had a 2 hour battle with the giant spider monster and it's paralyzing bite could not be removed with neither bard nor paladin versions of the spell, which made the battle really annoying. I also think these world bosses have way too much health and it makes the battles too long for their own good. Failing after fighting for 2 hours does not really fill me with the desire to try again, even though I'm sure I would eventually manage to beat it, even without supress affliction spells. If anything, I dread the experience, so I just lower the difficulty to get it over with. And since I can't trust my own skills and abilities working as they're supposed to, that really has a negative effect on the overall enjoyment of combat. Please fix it!
