Greetings friends!
During 0.8 I’ve noticed some inconsistencies with the Abyssal Echoes skill and how the application of Abyssal Form is applied. The skill will not grant the Abyssal Form buffs (optional nodes) if the target is not directly killed by the applied DoT. Due to link limits, I will only include the Shadow Blur node.

The skill states that “if they take a hit all the damage from abyssal decay is dealt to them immediately.”
When essentially “procing” this mark with a killing blow, the Abyssal Form and its further optional allocated buffs are not applied. However, if you destroy barrels, wood piles, crates, or manage to slowly allow mobs to die to the debuff, the buffs are granted.

Examples:
Destroying terrain with the DoT, correctly applying the buffs:
Applying the debuff, landing a killing blow which “detonates” the mark. Buffs are not applied.
