Grim Focus and morphs stacks disappearance in Maelstrom Arena

✭✭✭✭
This is an issue that was introduced with the dragon bones DLC, and still has not been addressed.
In the Clockwork City update, Grim focus and its morphs were changed so that every time you exit combat all stacks will be reset to 0. In VMA, every time you defeat an add wave and portals spawn, you are technically out of combat during those seconds, and thus lose of your grim focus stacks. This does not happen 100% of the time, as in certain stages like stage 8 for example, you are always in combat, due to lava balls being thrown at you. However, in most stages the issue is there, and it is extremely annoying, as you lose a lot of burst damage.
So, what I recommend? It takes 4-5 seconds for portals to spawn, so have the stacks being removed after 5 seconds after exiting combat? A simple change that will make the ability function properly in VMA once again.
Here are the videos, for those interested:

✭✭✭✭The worst thing is that they didn't said a word if this is intended change, or this is a bug. It's really frustrating that now proc disappears from your bar, when in the past it didn't. And in Summerset patch notes there was also nothing about this issue and it exist since Dragon Bones...

Do not think it is intented. They simply did not take VMA into consideration when making this change.Maelstrom Arena - World's First Nightblade 600k Score - 02/18/20170 -

✭✭✭✭✭The reason why you´re always in combat on stage 8 is due to the pillars are considered "enemies". Since they´re never really gone/killed you´ll be considered in combat during the entire stage.0 -

Yeah you are probably right on that.Maelstrom Arena - World's First Nightblade 600k Score - 02/18/20170 -
Supernatural✭✭✭✭Just updating this to confirm that this is still happening on the PTS. Again, just reworking grim focus so that you lose the stacks after 5 seconds upon exiting combat instead of instantly would fix this.

✭✭The skill is working as intended. However it is likely that in this particular case it isn't intended but they didn't put much thought into that nor do they care that much. Honestly I don't see a huge reason to care at the moment as there are more concerning matters.Supernatural wrote: »Just updating this to confirm that this is still happening on the PTS.

Could this please be looked at? I have reported this issue since Dragon Bones and nothing has been done about it after almost two months.
There might be more important matters to address, yes, but it is really, really easy and simple to fix.Maelstrom Arena - World's First Nightblade 600k Score - 02/18/20170
