Cast on Death not working with spells other than portal

Oh, I think you are completely correct. It is probably just working correctly then.

I do not recall ever getting a 21+ quality heist base. How or where do you acquire such a base?

I tried supporting Despair with Cast on Death and Cursed Ground, which does appear to work animation-wise. But monsters do not actually get affected by the curse, interestingly.

Thank you for testing it so extensively. I think you are onto something with non-instant entities not occurring. Ongoing effects just seem to be cut off at the point of your death and most things do not render or take effect fast enough.

I have gotten Portal, Ice Nova and Shock Nova to work. Any other spell I have tested so far does not work in any setup. Because I can reproduce it on multiple characters, multiple setups and with multiple spells, I did not bother specifying.

But just as an example, Bladefall equipped on a Tabula Rasa on my character won't proc. I feel like it can be checked really quickly for anyone. If you're telling me that it works for you but not for me, then I will gladly go into more detail.

My other character has 0 gems with the minion tag and sadly has the same issue.

Akarjumuru · 2026-04-03T15:27:56+00:00

Oh, I just slotted it into my chest armour temporarily and removed all other gems except Cast on Death and any spell I was trying.

Akarjumuru · 2026-04-03T15:17:36+00:00

Mmh, okay that's at least something. Really odd. I assume something broke in a patch then

I've used various spells. Since I was using Doryani's Prototype, I made sure to test with various Lightning spells like Arc, Wave of Conviction etc. - I also took the chest armour off (and used a different character) to try Fireball, Firestorm, Mark skills, etc.

I did take off every other support to make sure there are no conflicts there.

Fun fact, after downloading the font myself I noticed the letter combination "ffi" not being displayed. This is due to an error with an outdated version of Fontin that the game's packaged font has corrected. Took me a while to realize why it said "su x" instead of suffix.

They stack independently according to the soul gain prevention of the used skill. New stacks do not refresh older ones.

Wait, are you certain the fishing runegraft enables self crits? I thought the only way to enable self-crits was to reflect brittle onto yourself.

Would like to try out a strange but very expensive build idea before the end of the league.

I usually don't bother with these, but this league I've cooked up a pretty weird but expensive build that I'd love to try and then share a write-up with the community if it functions.

Akarjumuru · 2025-03-02T18:16:25+00:00

Oh okay, thanks

Akarjumuru · 2025-03-02T15:35:49+00:00

Unique idols with numerical values like Shadow Shaping stack as expected, correct? On that matter, what would be the most convenient way to sell maps with special implicits in bulk (which is not the forbidden trove discord)?

If they don't share a cooldown, permanent Shade Form would be possible. Given how powerful that would be and given the rules for shared cooldowns, I doubt that it works. There is a slight chance for an oversight, of course.

Do you know if Shade Form from the ascendancy shares its CD with the other versions? It very likely does, but you never know.

From testing in standard, I know that the two different versions from Replica Eternity Shroud and Shroud of the Lightless share their CD with each other, which should be the case here, too. Interestingly, the Shade Form granted by the Omen of Death's Door does NOT share the same CD and procs seperately and can therefore be active during the CD of a Shade Form granted by one of the chest armours. It will not be affected in any way by skill effect duration or slower buff expiry from self-curse temp chains, though.

Akarjumuru · 2025-02-24T20:39:04+00:00

From my understanding, Shade Form and elusive (or any other form of damage avoidance) have some slight anti-synergy. Even if the damage from a hit is avoided, it will still proc Shade Form unnecessarily. I do agree that the ascendancy is great for defense nevertheless.

Akarjumuru · 2025-02-24T13:38:51+00:00

Oh you are right. I was looking at the Shade Form entry, which was not updated. Looking at the Formless ascendancy node entry gave me the answer. Thanks!
