Skartorsis Rebirth Bug
Hi everyone, I have a bone to pick!
About this time last year I reported that Skartorsis' Rebirth abilty (A3) was not doing what the skill description said it did.
The ability description has changed since my report, but here is the original:
The skill stated that it would remove all debuffs (presumably Heal Reduction as well) and then heal based on the number of debuffs removed. By this logic, Heal Reduction should have been useless against this ability.
Instead of bringing the skill functionality in line with the description, the devs decided to just change the description. Here's the new one:
This made it clear that no healing would occur if one of the debuffs being removed was Heal Reduction. I was disappointed with this decision but ultimately accepted it... until now.
Take a look at Mausoleum Mage's Winds of Purging ability (A3). Note that the description is very similar to the original description of Skartorsis' Rebirth ability.
So I thought, "Well hey, looks like they need to fix this one as well". I was wrong. Winds of Purging completely ignores Heal Reduction and provides the heal, where as Rebirth never did. Here's a demonstration:
And here's Skartorsis' ability providing no healing:
So I guess I'm wondering... Why wasn't Skartorsis' ability fixed correctly to do what it originally said it would do rather than just changing the description?
Skartorsis is basically the legendary version of Mausoleum Mage, so I feel like you kind of let him down. Heck, even the cooldown of Rebirth is longer than Winds of Purging. Give the poor guy some love :)
