Yup ive noticed the exact same thing with my Poison Arrow. Makes the bow really bad.

Yep, this makes the poison shot not worth running. You can direct hit someone, and the poison will tick the full duration.

Description hasnt changed.
Enemies who came into contact with the cloud are supposed to be poisoned for the 20s duration.
But right now it is only the enemy hit by the arrow instead.
Definity a bug, removing a lot of potential damage to a point, where the skill is close to useless.

As long as the behavior stays like this, it is not worth using.

Yeah it’s real buggy, I noticed it last night. If you direct hit a mob it will apply, if you hit the cloud on the mob as soon as they leave it will drop off, I tested on a friend and put the cloud near him, he left the cloud, it dropped off him then he went back in the cloud and it applied for 20s. Its pretty random and a very painful bug. It definitely should be applying for 20 seconds to anything that even slightly touches the cloud.

Same thing everywhere.
Only the target you actually hit gets affected. Anybody else that just goes through the cloud gets the initial damage tick, the debuff, but no more damage is dealt once they leave the cloud.

I’ve noticed it’s not consistent with doing it on the target you hit, it only does it sometimes.

Rain of Arrows seems to be bugged too. Sometimes it applies bleeding and sometimes it does not.

What if somebody enters the poisonous cloud and then crouches ? does it trigger the effect on crouching?

Does this happen even if you have not picked the Direct Hit passive?

yes,i just tested

this skill is a mess

You’re really passionate about this one skill! Drop it like the rest of us…

Just messing with you, I hope for a fix soon too even if I don’t use it anymore :slight_smile:

i like it a lot,but unfortunately only theoretically
