Arcane Surge from Hierophant's Arcane Blessing or Ascendant's Hierophant is ignored (big ubiquitous source of damage)

Open ww9 opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Both Hiero and Ascendant's Hiero have the following:

Gain Arcane Surge when you or your Totems Hit an Enemy with a Spell

For totem builds, that adds an almost permanent level 1 Arcane Surge buff which is a considerable source of damage. In my current Ascendant Ice Spear Totems build this is effectively a 18% more damage buff.

I expected PoB to offer a configuration option like this:

But currently it just ignores that buff. The work-around is to manually add a lvl 1 Arcane Surge Support linked to an active spell such as Flame Dash: image

These are the nodes I'm referring to:

Running latest PoB version: 1.4.135 PoB demonstrating the issue with both classes: https://pastebin.com/mRvF5KuU

In general, modifiers colored red are not yet supported by PoB. Also, the cleaner way to solve this would be to simply check if you're using a spell at all that isn't an aura, herald or minion, and assume you're hitting things with it.

This is similar to how Elemental Overload works now, as well.

I know that red lines aren't supported. That's why I opened this issue.
