Curse is broken - KR vs Xeven (Video)

Xeven

I catch him from behind and open with Curse. I cast 5 Curse total in this fight, none of which appear to explode, then he just falls over dead with 75% health, from his point of view. From my point of view Curse has been acting really strange, many times not exploding at all, though I don't have a video from my end. When I broke that last CC, he was already dead from my point of view.

Notice the last Curse doesn't "explode" either, but thats what killed him. I cast it at approximately 2:15:12.5 seconds. He dies at 2:15:16 seconds when he goes from full magicka to zero magicka, then he's just stuck there for a moment before he falls over.

Lol maybe it stacks repeatedly but refreshes the explode timer. That would be awesome. Could you imagine? I could actually get behind this as a stam sorc. Just keep loading them up on curses until you hit like 30k damage and then watch them melt.

This isn't this patch actually, it may have gotten worse though. It's lag.

When I've been up against 2 sorcs and they've been loading me up with Curse I've been unable to purify these off, then all of a sudden 2 go off at same time as well as an Inevitable Det. Your Magicka and Stam pools empty and a couple secs later, poof.

I've also been treated with procced Frags and Encase cast at the same time, so you dodge the frag but not the root. You then have to purge that off or if you're lucky have enough stamina to dodge roll again.

Sorcs are the worst culprits because of the spells they have, they are not fun to fight in lag. If you see a Templar in lag though, just stand and laugh as he stands there Tring to Toppling Charge at you or CC you with Blazing Spear.

Xeven

On a side note, I wouldn't have engaged had I noticed it was KR, at least not without a light attack and showing him a block first. He's running shield breaker on his stam sorc and I was extremely worried about protecting my healing ward under my hardened ward, and staying away from his light attacks. I didn't actually realize it was KR until it was way too late. Had I pulled back, he would have promptly wrecked me for the mistake.

I'm glad that I did though or we wouldnt have this video of buggy ass Curse.

Curse never acted like this before TG. The lag wasnt this bad though either.

I saw this happen on stream, was pretty funny

glavius

Could be lightning staff also not curse. One in guild mentioned it only happened vs. lightning staff mages.
Happened to me 2 out of 2 duels yesterday vs. lightning staff mage.

Happens to me when I hardcast cf and it sortof floats besides your head and seemingly doesnt hit anything, but it does and the health quickly catches up a few seconds later, but around then health desyncs quite often ensues. So many bugs its hate..

HoloYoitsu

Adding this to my bug thread.

Bulljoker

Health desync lol fail

I've seen it now, yeah it totally is bugged. I got an explosion long after the death of an enemy Sorc. Pretty sure I purged it also, think I recorded it so I'll look tonight.

This is what happens when they mess with Templar skills.
