Necropotence set currently broken causing LOSS of magicka with pets!

Xinihp

I have tested this fairly extensively, with all 5 pieces on body to avoid bar swap weirdness, with 6 pieces just to eliminate incorrect set application, etc.

With the full set on body and Mother's Sorrow on jewelry and weapon (second set does not matter) I have ~44k magicka with no pets summoned.

If I summon either my Twilight or Volatile Familiar that should go up to ~47k as per the 5-piece.

However, it instead goes DOWN to ~43k. Further pet damage seems to be adversely affected as well, and damage tooltips are all lower.

Sorcerer has a passive that gives you %10 more Magicka and Stamina while you have no pets active. So that might be the issue here.

Interesting. Been away for more than 6 months and I don't remember that passive being a thing back then. Magicka definitely used to go up activating pets with Necropotence.

I see the passive you are refering to though: "Increases your Max Health by 10% if you have a permanent pet active. Increases your Max Magicka and Stamina by 10% if you have no permanent pets active."

Lesson for today:

Always check your main skills and passives after updates, doubly so if you've been away from the game for any length of time - they are known to be prone to somewhat aggressive changing!
