Passive like “gain something when you have channelled on the same enemy for 2 seconds” or “when you channeling” work, and some don’t work, don’t know if intended or bugs, but tooltip maybe need some clarification with this passives :
“Contempt” and “Stagger” work without Channeling.
“Eternal Servitude” work without Channeling, only the first cast of Wandering Spirits stay indifinetely if you spam Drain Life
“Circle of Sacrifice” and “Cloak of Solitude” doesn’t work without Channeling.
Channelling procs are sometimes confusing as it depends on the exact wording of the nodes so its important to understand some basics so that you can figure out if its actually a bug or not.
For example, anything that procs on use will proc only once when the channelling has started - i.e. when you first use the channelled skills but not continuously.
Alternatively, anything that is an on hit proc while channelling will proc with each hit of a mob.
These cause a lot of confusion for new users so its important to differentiate this intended usage of channelling skills and can make a HUGE difference to certain build setups and skill/passive combinations.
With that in mind, do you think that your observations are still a bug or not?
ps. there are quite a few inconsistencies in tooltip descriptions too so those, if found, should also be reported - although its easier to report those on Discord in a dedicated channel for that.
After some test with Dark Shackles (Drain Life Is Cast)
Circle of Sacrifice and Cloak of Solitude, “while channelling” does not work
Eternal Servitude, “When you start channeling” work but you don’t channeling with Dark Shackles, so its confusing
Even more confusing, Contempt and Stagger, “When you have channelled on the same enemy for 2 seconds” work after the ennemy stay 2sec in Life Drain, I think this is a bug, because the tooltip say “all stack are loose when you stop channelling”
Like you say, all of this can be intentional but need tooltip clarification
