Flames of Devotion DPS loss with 2.02 and prior patches.

[Torm51]

Hey guys.  So when using Soulbound weapons like Ydwen and The Grey Sleeper if I cast flames of devotion and the on hit ability procs (for Yedwen destroy vessel and the sleeper paralyze) it will suppress the fire damage portion of flames of devotion.  So Yedwen procs its destroy ability on everything not just vessels so I hit an ogre with flames of devotion the destroy procs it does nothing to the ogre and the 50% fire damage on FoD does not show up.  Its a dps nerf to use it.  Granted you still get the fire mark that priests get so maybe it not...still is this intended? the same issue happens with the Grey Sleeper on any of its on hit procs.

Here is a FoD on an Ice Troll it procs destroy vessel and you get no extra burn damage.

I would not call this a nerf.  The damage output of FoD is not reduced it is simply not activated.

They have to fix it if they even want to by coding it so it does some kind of double or triple check for procs.

I am assuming here that what happens is the proc takes precedence and simply overwrites or negates FoD .

Instead it could proc the weapon after the constant FoD.

 

Never the less I think its a bug not a nerf.

Agreed what I meant was...unless the Paladin is fighting vessels they are losing damage when compared to say tidefall because there is a 25% chance your FoD wont activate the fire lash.

At this point I am a little perplexed by some of the common issues that seemed to escaped testing phase.

My redeemer is not registering kills now.

And the proc issue well that is as easy as force proccing and reading a log to test.

Weird with 2.02 I did all the soul bound kill counts with no issues.

Hello Torm,

 

Looks like you made two of the same thread, so I'll just answer you on this one. I have confirmed your bug and added it to our database.

 

Thanks and keep up the good work!
