Wand skill "Blast" stopped working

[Morgman]

I didn't notice right away but I think it stopped after I used my next skill point on "bounce". 

No longer have the visible aoe. Tested it on some destroyable boxes and couldn't break more than one at a time.

Exactly the same problem. This game is so full of bugs and useless companion A.I and mechanics I'm wondering why I bothered spending good money on it. I should've just bought a bottle of Glenfiddich instead and got drunk while playing Destiny 2 instead of this bugged rubbish.

Just tested, absolutely 100% Bounce completely breaks Blast. You should only be able to choose one or the other if they can't work together instead of this broken system they have at the moment that allows you to burn points and cash on non functional abilities that you have to reset everything and then choose between to fix. Obsidian should've known better and put more effort into actually testing the game thoroughly before release.

From my testing, it looks like after getting Bounce second, Blast will stop working outside of combat. I still get the blast animation and damage while in combat, just not out of it. I'm disappointed because the blast was great for breaking crates.....

I'll test later tonight and see if getting bounce first will let you have both.

Tested again and it doesn't matter what order you choose these abilities in, having bounce and blast at the same time, even if you choose bounce first always kills blast. Really disappointing. If it's an actual feature and not a bug Obsidian needs to change to tooltip to let you know that you can only have one or the other.

Yeah it still works in combat but not outside combat. Mostly a visual thing but still kinda lame

I guess I'll have to decide then whether I find blast more useful in combat or using it to break multiple crates. Disappointing that I can't have it both ways.
