Queen's Hunger vs. Self Cast [3,999,909,817]

I am wearing a Queen's Hunger with the modifier "You can have two Offerings of different types". This seems to prevent me from benefitting from any Offering skill that I use myself, and furthermore, using any cancels any active Offering of the same name on myself.

This is easily seen with Bone Offering and looking at the Defences tab.
* When Queen's Hunger uses the skill, regardless of what other offerings it has active (if any), using my own Bone Offering (and consuming at least one corpse) instead removes the active Bone Offering buff.
* When Queen's Hunger uses any other Offering, using my own Bone Offering provides no benefit whatsoever.

Bump. This issue was REMOVED from the Known Issues tracker, but it is still an active problem.

I had overlooked this before because I made the assumption that you were running a Witch, but it seems that for this report, this is intended behavior?

Offering skills do not affect you, by default. A modifier is required for them to affect you, such as Necromancer's Mistress of Sacrifice. However, you're running a Templar, not a Witch or Scion.

Queen's Hunger also has a modifier to make Offerings affect you:
"Offering Skills Triggered this way also affect you"

When you activate your own Offering skills, they will not affect you. Additionally, when you cast an Offering that's already active, it's replaced by the newly cast one--which again, wasn't triggered by the armour, so it will not affect you.

I'm confused because of two things in play here:

* I assumed that the second, self-casted Offering would simply be overridden by the one triggered by Queen's Hunger, since it is "less effective", in a manner resembling other buffs. Example, if I am using an aura and another source grants a more beneficial version of that same aura, it simply takes priority instead of canceling mine entirely. If I get Onslaught from say, a flask with increased effect, and then gain Onslaught on Kill from an abyss jewel, the flask effect is not removed.

* The Catarina special mod on my chest says "You can have two Offerings of different types". It lacks specificity, I did not connect that they must be from its own triggering.

The veiled modifier allows you to have two Offerings of different types, regardless of whether they were triggered by the armour or cast yourself.

However, your Offerings will only affect your minions, unless they were triggered by the armour. Offerings triggered by the armour only affect you due to the second modifier on Queen's Hunger. This has no relation to any of the modifiers you can unveil on it.

I'm not terribly well-versed on what replaces what, but I know there are different ways it can go depend on what's actually happening.

For example, I don't know if it's like casting an Aura with Divine Blessing Support, where the old aura is removed at the start of the cast rather than when the end of the cast, when the new one would be applied.

Even if that's not the case, this isn't like getting a buff from two different sources, as you mention with Onslaught, because you can only have one Offering active at a time. Even the armour only allows you to have Offerings of different types, so you can't have a Bone Offering triggered by the armour and a self-cast Bone Offering active at once. It would have to choose whether to keep the old one, or the new one with more remaining duration.
