Hi all, I have been having this issue which is really frustrating. There are only very few classes that can make effective use of the engraving “Sight focus” with surge deathblade being one of them. However, the fact that it is bugged is extremely annoying and will definitely make me switch off of it although it can be fun.
Here are bug details:
Steps to Reproduce
- Generate death orbs
- Hit “Z” to go into death trance
- Stand still for next steps
- Activate sight focus through macro text or by entering in chat
- immediately after doing this, press “Z” again to use surge skill
Expected behaviour
Surge skill activates
Observed behaviour
Surge skill does not activate, and all death orbs are depleted, removing character from death trance. Repro rate 4/5
Observations
I know exactly why this happens. Basically, when typing something in the chatbox, your character does the “/talk” emote if youre not moving/not in combat. This emote will end up cancelling your surge skill and cause it to not go off. This can easily happen if you are sitting behind a boss waiting for invincibility to wear off, as it will do the talk emote even if you just hit the boss 0.5s ago.
Furthermore, sometimes it causes the issue where it may not consume your death orbs, but your surge skill does not go off. Can anyone please look into this?
