I’ve noticed that during first quest of The Last Ruin. In provided screenshot one NPC is burning, the other one hasn’t survived (and dropped gold lol)
I definitely don’t want to accidentally become a criminal by casting health draining buffs on allies apart from my minions. Not huge of a deal now, but will allow players to grief in multiplayer mode, for example killing opened party member in hardcore.
Considering this a bug because “Infernal Shade” passive “Devour in flames” states: can now only attach to YOUR MINIONS
“Dread shade” description states: target MINION’S health. Would be better if it was YOUR MINIONS only
Possible solutions:
-
make these buffs apply only to your minions
-
or at least add possibility to cast buffs on ally icons to avoid accidental misuse (as I’ve proposed here Allow to use Eterra's Blessing on companion icons)
-
make these buffs to not drain allies health (too OP for multiplayer)
-
introduce a party system where players can choose what buffs they allow to receive (complicated)
-
rebalance buffs so they do not kill allies (complicated)
Healing can also be problematic for low life builds essentially killing them, but that’s another topic. For that I’d probably suggest to make potion healing conversion affix to instead apply to all healing.
