Here is the effect description, advertising foe-only:

 

 

Here is the combat log, showing the effect being applied to Devil of Caroc after she activated Coordinating Positioning on Zahua (and rolled dat crit):

 

 

Here is the mouse-over, showing the effect stacking about a million times (or 4. Sometimes I exaggerate for comedic effect):

 

As you can see to the left, Hiravias was standing someplace unfortunate and now he's on the business end of that "foe beam" action.

 

Output log and save (managed to snag a quicksave while the effect was still active).

Hey Achilles,

 

I checked in our latest build and it was no longer affecting allies. So chances are it was fixed, if it comes up again in the next patch, let me know. 

 

Cheers!

I'd be happy to! When does that patch come out again? I want to put it on my calendar so that I can remember to help test some more

There is no official date as of right now, but once we have news, Badler will make an official announcement. 

 

Thank you for all of your hard work! It is greatly appreciated! 

Hi Aarik,

 

Bad news

 

Zahua ran through Aloth's Chill Fog, took critical damage, and...well, you know the rest.

 

Hey Achilles,

 

Chill fog is a full AOE spell, so it targets friendly and foe.

Right, but I imagine that Achilles is saying that then Ray of Pain targeted Aloth, which it shouldn't have done (unless Aloth was confused or dominated at the time).

 

Actually, I wonder if this is behind most cases of the Ray of Pain bug -- I imagine it's pretty easy to check if it damages allies when triggered by an enemy, but what about when it's triggered by an ally (as in, an ally causes critical damage to the person wearing the boots)? That seems to be the case discussed in the first post as well, when the Devil got a critical when switching positions with Zahua.

Oh I see what you were talking about now. I missed that the ray was triggered. I'll check it out again.

After investigating this further, it seems that the boots aren't working at all. Ray of Pain triggers but there is no actual beam and its currently doing zero damage. I have written up a bug and added it to our database. This will probably fix the issue you are experiencing now. 

 

Thanks!

Ok. The Target effect will no longer target allies too, right?
