(#1214486584) Chayula Monk - Damage over Time Severe Bugged Interaction With Darkness

Got another Darkness bug for you Jeff :)

EDIT: Wait. This is weirder than I thought. My original post is below, but I've updated this because it's not as simple as I first though. I have a video recording, observe what happens, it's very bugged:

1. I enter the burning ground. My ES starts going down, even though my Darkness remains full the whole time.

2. As soon as my ES depletes, my Darkness *instantly* depletes! From 650 to 0 in a single frame!

3. In that same frame my Life starts going down.

So this bug is way worse than I thought. It's not just an issue of what order the resources are depleting--since the Darkness is just magically disappearing.

EDIT2:

Check this out. Look at what happens when I get poisoned (~3 seconds in):

1. HP, ES, Darkness are all 100% full.

2. I gain two debuffs (looks like grasping vines and a chaos degen).

3. My Darkness drops to 0, this time across multiple frames, but still FAR too fast to make any sense. Like 3 frames to take 650 damage, obviously incorrect.

4. The moment my Darkness drops to zero, my Life drops by 1 point. Just one point!


It seems there is either still some desync going on, or there is a bug where degen is instantly breaking Darkness.


Below is my original post.

"

Embrace the Darkness node does NOT specify "Damage from hits". It simply says "Damage taken is reserved from Darkness before being taken from Life or Energy Shield".

Darkness is clearly based on Dissolution of the Flesh from POE1 and DotF worked just fine reserving life for Degen.

Either the tooltip or the behavior are wrong.

EDIT: I'm only noticing this on burning ground, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I've watched my Darkness deplete slowly from a DoT before...

I know your coders are probably on break for now but just want to keep this visible.

Bump.
