Sacrificial Bones & Grave Lord's Sacrifice bugged with Animate Blastbones (Maybe?)

Nebula_DooM · January 30

Can we get confirmation that the two newly, reworked skills don't buff the Animate Blastbones "Blastbones" that spawn? I've just tried it on a target dummy and it does not buff the Blastbones that spawn and nowhere in the patch notes say this!

Thank you!

Sadly it's not a grave lord ability... So it is working as "intended".

I can see how it would not buff it but it would be nice if an ability that spawns the blighted blastbones morph of the skill, buff it

The Blastbones that spawn should still count as Grave Lord abilities, they've always counted as normal Blastbones in the past.

It's more likely that they never coded Blastbones to work with it because the buff removes Blastbones from your bar. Not buffing the Animate Blastbones was likely an oversight.

And regardless of whether or not it gets buffed/fixed, it'll be quite sad if Animate is stuck summoning Blighted going forward. Animate is already a coin flip of an ultimate, and it's basically useless with Blighted because it doesn't deal enough damage without the Stalking modifier.
