Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Detonating Siphon explosion doesn't count as direct damage.

So after farming one of the recent trials for the Kazpian set, I was surprised when activating det siphon early to burst a corpse that it didn't proc it. I thought it might have been because it was a recent set it might not have counted or something but after testing other sets like Nerien'eth, Auroran's thunder set and other gear that procs off of any direct damage done, the explosion from detonating siphon just doesn't do anything. Which is odd since it does get boosted from the MaA champion point.

Not sure if the skill just isn't acting properly or if it has something to do with corpses since everything corpse related is a buggy mess.

    Does Blastbones trigger Kapzian? Try another set which procs off Area Direct Damage, not ST Direct Damage. Then, see if Proxy Det triggers Kapzian. Kapzian might exclude "Channeled" Damage, or Siphon has the same issue as Blastbones, where it's like a NPC rather than your PC, and only your PC is counted as wearing the set when it deals damage.

    Yet another way that Necros are shafted.
