Since I downloaded Necrom, Plaguebreak hasn’t worked. I tried to see if anything was posted and didn’t see anything.
I am on PlayStation NA
Was there anything posted about this?

    From the patch notes:

    "Plaguebreak: This set now will only attempt to apply itself to enemy players, rather than any enemy. Note that the
    explosion can still damage and be amplified by nearby non-players.

    Developer Comment:
    Spoiler
    This change was made to correct a behavior we've been seeing in PvP areas where you could apply this set to entities (such
    as pets or guards) that lacked critical knowledge of how to counter-play the mechanics introduced. This also hits the truly
    creative uses of the set in PvE where we have seen some humorous videos that wipe out entire dungeons with relative ease,
    which while we appreciated the ingenuity, it was *slightly* over performing."

    So it won't proc off NPCs or pets (twilight, engine guardian).

    Thanks. Appreciate you posting this
    Still disappointed since o just made a full set of plague break on Saturday so wasted transmutes

    And tells me they will nerf that green beam for arcanist since that does way more than plaguebreak. I’ve seen some completely decimate dungeons with it.
