Hello! I may be wrong but it doesn’t seem like these two nodes work together.
If Depravity says it creates extra bodies, I expected Ivory Court to cause them to create extra simulacrums at the destination. It doesn’t look like it does that OR cause extra explosions at this time.
All Depravity does is create extra explosions on arrival, Bone Minions have no interaction with detonations on arrival. The Simulacrum + Ivory Court nodes may interact with the Black Mirror node (more detonations on departure) but I’ve not tested that to see if Ivory Court would consume all of the departure detonations to give you more minions.
Hmm… if what you say is correct, then there is inconsistency in the ability’s wording because the ability just before Depravity is Reign of Blood.
Reign of Blood is worded as “Transplant creates an additional body that detonates on arrival”.
Depravity says “Transplant creates additional bodies that detonate on arrival.”
When I take Reign of Blood and Ivory Court, it DOES create a bone minion at my destination. If this is the mechanic, why does Depravity (which is worded identically when it comes to adding extra bodies) not work?
How many points did you take in Ivory Court? If you only took 1 then that would create 2 minions (1 from Simulacrum & 1 from the 1 point in Ivory Court) in place of 2 of the detonations. If you take 2-3 points in Ivory Court but are only seeing 2 minions instead of the expected 3-4 minions (assuming you have enough detonations) then that would be a bug.
Ivory Court seems to be working correctly from the info I’m seeing here. Ivory Court’s effect is that it allows you to have more Bone Minions that stick around, it doesn’t up the amount of Bone Minions summoned. Depravity only creates more explosions at the place your character arrives at. While Ivory Court and the other nodes in this link subtree (Simulacrum and Purgatory) focus on removing the detonation from the place you transplanted from and replacing that with a new minion.
So if you want more minions you need to transplant more times with some points in the ivory court node?
I htink it might be a good idea to add something like that to the ivory court description (“this node does not increase the number of cone minions summoned per transplant”).
