Drain life forcibly stops channeling under certain conditions

[anon658919]

so this is a weird one. i equipped some new gear and ran a map and noticed my drain life was constantly flickering off despite holding down the button. if i held down right mouse button, it would successfully channel for about 30% of the time and turn itself off (my character standing in place doing nothing, not stunned) the other 70% of the time, switching between the two states several times a second. the issue has persisted across multiple play sessions, and occurs very consistently when the conditions are met.

it’s not a mana issue - my drain life is talented to have no mana cost. here’s my drain life tree:

i noticed the issue only occurs when drain life is hitting 2 or more targets, never when hitting 0 or 1. i did some more testing and discovered that it only appears to be occurring when wearing my newly acquired oracle amulet, and never while wearing my prior amulet, a brass amulet.

here’s the oracle amulet which does cause the bug when worn:

here’s the brass amulet which does NOT cause the bug when worn:

i’m also uploading a player.log where i ran 1 map and switched between the two amulets.Player.log (44.7 KB)

my best guess is that the oracle amulet’s implicit less damage over time taken is reducing the current health cost of channeling drain life, which makes it think i can’t afford the health cost, and therefore turns off the channel.

I can’t reproduce this issue on my end and the log file doesn’t have any clues, unfortunately.

There are a lot of variables here, so if you’re still having the issue the best way for me to look into this would be for you to send me your save files as a .zip (along with the name of the character you’re using). You can send them to me directly if you prefer to not attach them to this thread.

Thanks!
