Star venom (snake in the stars set) goes only on 1 target, no matter if applied to several at once.

Star venom (new snake in the stars set) goes only on 1 single target, no matter if player or npc even if the Major/Minor Debuff is applied on multiple targets. Is that intended too?

TechMaybeHic

Yes. There is a 12 second cool down for the wearer meaning they can only apply once every 12 seconds, and a 12 second cool down on the target meaning the target can only get it once every 12 seconds

Ty, sure! But i mean to apply it at once to several targets by giving all the targets a major/minor debuff by aoe for example. In my case i apply Minor Maim with choking talons to everybody in a 6m radius but only 1 of these targets gets the star venom. I hit eg 6 targets with talons but only 1 of them gets star venom.

Yeah, usually the cooldown like that leave it one target even if you simultaneously hit

Yeah good point that might be the reason. But then the cooldown start should be adjusted to some millisecs, so multiple targets can be hit by it because im of the oppinion thats how its intended. Other sets are not like that.

It was suggested by multiple people during the PTS (myself included), that the internal cooldown be removed and leave only the per-target cooldown which would allow it to hit multiple targets. This was presumably rejected and not implemented.

Probably why nobody is buying the gear other than set completionists.

If the idea is to counter ball groups, then applying Star Venom every 12 seconds to only one of 12 heal spamming players is not the answer.

I don't think the set is designed to counter ball-groups though. Nor should it really be. What set used by 3 people against 12 won't also be used by 12 against 3?

Some people think they want a big red circle that swallows all heals but they really, really, don't.

Whatever strength this set might've had got neutered from complaining. And some of it was almost certainly needed but, y'know, it is what it is. Give us something strong-- we complain. Give us something weak-- we complain. Give us something balanced we don't talk about it.
