Crux Generation Bugs

Defatank · June 29

Reporting the following bugs with crux generation...

Build: Herald Arc (main), Sub Classed Warden, Sub Classed Necro

1. Activating Inspired Scholarship while in combat and using Blighted Blastbones from Necro will not generate a crux. I can use Inspired and then use Unnerving Boneyard and it will generate a crux so its definitely a bug with blastbones that will not generate.

2. There appears to be a bug with scribed skill Ulfilds Contingency with the Arc Class Mastery "Generate a Crux". While in combat I can use UC and then use Escalate Runeblade and it will generate 2 crux as it should. But it appears that if I have generated a crux with Inspired Scholarship there is some sort of GCD for crux generation? Ex: If I generate a crux with IS then use UC and Escalating runeblade I will only go to 2 crux and it should be 3. If I open with UC and use ER I immediately go to 2 crux.

3. Referencing the bug in point 2 and while this may be OP it doesn't work and should based on how things are worded. I think this bug is going to be the order that crux is check and generated, but if I use IS first, then UC with class mastery to generate a crux then use ER. ER going off would make UC proc and because I did not have a crux when ER hit IS would produce a crux there so technically I should generate 3 crux from using ER in that order. (Again, yes OP [snip] but it should work)

4. Using IS then using Tentacular Dread will produce a crux and sometimes will consume the crux shortly there after. Other times it will leave the crux up. Again I think this is an order issue of crux generation to crux consumption.

Thank you,

Arcanists generate crux? I'd need to see that to believe it. All I see in every dungeon, every delve, Arcanists running around Fatecarving everything nonstop, no crux, one-button spamming (and don't seem to know that you can turn it off, so I see Fatecarved empty tunnels, Fatecarved empty corridors, Fatecarved thin air...)

I think you need to go back and check your data.

To my knowledge UC generates the crux when it procs. When you cast runeblades, UC procs instantly giving you a crux. The runeblades have a traveltime, thus by the time they do damage to proc IS, you already have crux generated from UC proc preventing the crux from IS

Regarding point #1 about Blastbones:

That's not a bug, it's intentional (albeit poor design). Blastbones is a Pet. Pets cannot proc most things, and do not interact with a lot of different mechanics because they count as their own source of damage.

In this instance, IS procs when you deal damage with a class ability but you are not the one dealing damage with Blastbones; Blastbones is the one dealing damage with a class ability.

Is it silly? Yes. It should be changed, but Necros have been begging for Pets to be able to proc stuff for literal years, so don't hold your breath.

@Eximzy Yes UC will proc crux generation in combat. The issue that I have seen with it is if youre trying to generate 3 crux at once. Example: IS > UC > ER. or if you have generated a crux before UC goes off (it doesn't do this everytime but its been consistent) Where I generate 1 crux with IS, hit UC and then ER and go from having 1 crux to 2 crux when I should have jumped from 1 crux to 3.

@CameraBeardThePirate I honestly did not even think about BB being considered a pet and its set of rules. Good insight there! My thought process of BB is a "class ability" and IS reads (paraphrasing here) When a class ability hits a target it generates a crux if you have none. But I absolutely see what youre saying with pets not causing it.
