The Diminishing Orb perk that is supposed to remove 50% of buffs on a player does not work. I repeat, the void gauntlet weapon perk does not work. It used to work so that when testing the perk, the following happens: duel starts, weapon eats hearty meal with a time of 40min. I send the orb of decay with the diminishing orb perk through the opponent and immediately, the duration of the hearty meal drops from 40min to 20min.
Now it just doesn’t work.
It still works on Limited Duration Buffs such as empower, fortify haste and other LDB’s.
In my case this has been broken since the oblivion perk was fixed last year but am not sure if it is the same with others.
If this perk is supposed to work differently to how it is worded may you please advise?

  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: have a weapon or piece of armour with the diminishing orb perk and use on an opponent once they have consumed a buff.
  • When did this happen? (Relative time; please include your timezone)
    When the oblivion perk was patched last year. has been at least 4months in it’s current broken state. Just kept assuming that it would be noticed and fixed like other issues.

It is working as intended.
Consumables are not reduced nor removed by void gauntlet.

sorry mate but if that is the case then can you please explain to me the difference between these two perks?

orbperk
oblivperk

As I stated above, if it works differently to how it is worded can I please be advised?
And if that is the case, can this please get either fixed or re-worded appropriately in the game so as not to cause confusion.

Wording is bad in those perks, but they should be same. Like Vezz said, consumables are not reduced because they are not considered as buffs. Buffs are basically weapon perk procs, armor perk procs, ability perk procs.
If you want to test this then use e.g. life staff’s orb of protection to get healing over time buff.

Cheers for the reply, I follow you on that path, it would be like the buffs that proc for lights embrace.
Just wasn’t sure if they just decided to not bother with updating or if it was an actual bug.
I did all the testing before making the post so I wouldn’t catch myself lacking, just don’t understand why one would talk about Limited Duration Buff’s while the other talks about Target’s Buffs.
Is there any post or link from AGS themselves that states this?

Appreciate you finding that post but the post and the text you referenced is about Oblivion.
I’m talking about Orb of Decay- couldn’t see anything about orb of decay or it’s perk in the post.
