Upcoming Bugfix to Death's Embrace (Harvest)

Announcements

Hello Travelers,

We’re once again providing notice regarding an upcoming bugfix which can effect build balance; this time in relation to the Grim Harvest effect from the unique weapon Death’s Embrace. It has been found that Grim Harvest could occur at negative mana, allowing you to push your mana into endlessly deeper negative values. Effects which consume mana are not intended to occur while at negative mana. Skills or abilities which cost mana should not be able to be used or triggered while at negative mana, as you cannot afford their stated cost.

  • Fixed a bug where Grim Harvest from the Death’s Embrace Unique Item could be consumed while at negative mana

We are currently aiming to have this fix included with next week’s weekly patch.

While I would be sad to see this interaction go, would earthquakes ability to generate avalanche boulders from Aftershock hits at negative mana need to ago away as well? It certainly would seem so for the sake of consistency. It’s been around for years. Again this is one of my favorite interactions on the primalist class…

Yes, we’ll need to fix this interaction as well for both consistency, and to prevent negative mana shenaniganry. We are however still looking at Shaman for improvements to the class as a whole, so these kinds of unintended bugs don’t feel necessary for the class/ability to have strength.
