Is Tri Focus from Ball Lightning getting fixed in PvP or not?

My own Ball Lightning triggered a 13k enemy tri focus crit on myself.
This is the most hilarious and frustrating bug ever.

tim77✭✭✭✭you can stop with this topic now.
trifocus will be completely destroyed in pve with the next patch5 -
techprince✭✭✭✭✭No, they haven't fixed this yet. The changes to trifocus will only remove the initial hits with it. The last tick will still hit you.3 -

Yep. Just had a player zing me with Tri Focus as I was Ball Lightning away. They were heavy attacking me the whole time and the damage got diverted to the Ball Lightning spawn which then proc'd Tri Focus back to me for 13k damage.PC NA3 -
how is this an exploit when it working as intended>?
none of the servers I've played has a exploit or a bug. just don't stand in the way and get good.
i find it hard to believe it an exploit or bug doing this. one being it s just a photo. 2 being it from pvp and not working how you like it @SkaraMinoc ?
like geez how fake can this be...
the tri focuses proc on the last tic and if you cant be smart enough to move away. then you will die from it..
on top of don't say it is an exploit if it is working as intended.

It is applying AoE damage when targeting the ball of lightning skill thing that absorbes projectiles. That would be a bug, since this behavior is not on live and is detrimental to the skills defensive effect3 -

"ball of lightning skill thing"
am I new to this game bc idk what that is...
lightning staves proc dot and channel dmg now so what your saying is the stave is hitting ball of lighting? like light attacks?
idk what else ball of lighting you speak of.
again working as intended though don't know why dude is complaining..

✭✭✭✭✭yeah the interaction with ball lightning is clearly a bug, since it shouldnt be doing any real dmg to it, but the fact that its actually doing trifocus dmg from what should be an invulnerable object is wacky lol
i would say its a little bit different of an issue than trifocus in generalplays PC/NA

keep in mind DOT is anything that had Damage over time. EVEN if it doesn't say in the skill line if the ability tic over any course of time it a dot. this includes lightning staves abilities as well0

also channeling is still in trifocus so this would effect staves as well. if your heavy or light attacking its considered a channeled ability

Ball of Lightening is a sorcerer skill. It's a morph of Bolt Escape (a dash skill) that literally leaves a ball of lightening behind you when you dash. This ball of lightening is supposed to absorb projectiles that your enemy is throwing at you as you try to escape. So it's a defensive skill.PC | EU2 -
if lightning staves are what yall have problems with wait until you see my ice stave warden.
the game has very little r range meta if any at all.. range in this game has always been weak and lacks executions unless were a nightblade or DK yet they want to change thing inside the destruction skill line for what?
to help run melee easier is it not enough with every little excute/ spammable they have currently...
None of the ranges has a execution adding more damage based on missing health
dealing more damage...
instead they want to ramp up NB and these types of meta once more to make the game less QOL buff and more QOL nerfs to the existing classes/ builds.
Beyond rediculous this is the plans of attack instead of fixing real problems that are occurring more often then someone complaining about dying from a lightning staff.....

Partial heavy maybe, but why would light attack be coded as a channel....
Anyway ball lightning, since you seem to be missing the unclear point of this thread (that title isn't helping with clarity), is the sorcerer skill that is the other morph rather than streak. It leaves behind a thing that causes projectiles to target it forcibly. It receives no damage and thus results in no cleave from lightning heavy attacks on live but is bugged on pts. So when a sorc uses this skill to try and get away from lightning HA builds they end up dying to the very thing that is supposed to save them....

sounds like lag to me I play it and never have had this happened to me..
if I streak away the HA builds don't instantly heavy attack me lol
could also be the player's playstyle.
But clearly if you cant understand sarcasm I guess you wont believe this bit either lol
it not a bug its lagg and devs cant fix lag for you sorry..0 -

Have you been using Ball of Lightening on the Public Test Server? Because that's what this thread is about. Your posts are very combatative. All the best.PC | EU1 -
lagg comes in all form and sizes.
frame dropp. packet loss bad animations..
let just say it definitely a hardware issues.
my series x has zero lagg zero problems with this at all...
my xbox slim on the cloud does this from time to time but very rarely.
Not going into the hardware of these consoles. one is a fair bit older than the recent versions; which obviously will have a small bit of lagg here and there..
if you know what is happening you can still play just gotta understand what placement frame drops occur and that put placement of ppl on ppls screens slightly off..
but if you understand the player and they are lagging it pretty easy kill NGL.
Here is the information if you're new or returning^
just need to update your hardware is all no biggy..0 -

which if your take away from this is to attack someone because were on a different platform?
because you think we don't play PC? so we cant speak because we play a different platform?

✭✭umm arcanist can proc it off their own healing ulimate. That in a crowded keep, target and profit. It is a super-niche thing.
Or target NPCs in IC and tri-focus players.
But to be honest, I don't think this has ever happened to me. It is just too situational to be useful because the heavy attacker is just helpless without something to proc tri-focus off of.2 -

Happened all the time in IC during mayhem. Saw lots of players who were basically completely playing around it, just getting as strong tri focus as possible.

ummm have you tried upp resistance? if you're on a gankblade this will always be the case. bc they are so OP they basically one shot or get one shot..
i dont see any1 but nightblades trying to gank to get 1 shot mainly bc they arent really brawling but more so ganking.
typically if u get one shot its bc of the resistance/ health isn't high enough.. which normally for gankblades are sacrificing health/resistance for weapon and penetration.

It is an exploit lmao, you clearly have no idea what's going on here. It's splashing for pve damage because empower which is a 80% monster damage buff transfers full damage via tri-focus passive. In this instance it's considering the ball a "pve mob" so his ball of lightning which is supposed to be a defensive skill is splashing him as if it's a PVE mob.
First of all empower should NOT give any damage in pvp environments. It's a buff against pve mobs, not players, but tri-focus is giving a loophole to do pve damage to players.
Second is ball of lightning being counted as a pve mob like the original poster mentioned.
How exactly is any of this intended? It's a bug that should be fixed.Solo PvP'er PS5 NA player
