Merc curses removing poison proliferation

If i use ANY kind of curse on my merc it will nullify my poison proliferation with viper strike of the mamba.

i have tried different kind of mercs aswell its all the same it just stops the second it hits a cursed enemy with no curse its absolutely fine so its nothing wrong with the mercs just curses

it might just be me missing something obvious but i cant figure it out and it sucks not having him curse for me :(

Have anyone else had this problem?

including my pob if anyone wanna take a look

Can confirm. Curses on a merc stop proliferate on mamba.
Having the same issue, ggg please fix <3

Is your merc using asenaths?

Having same issue. Can't gear my Merc with the benefit of curses as it nukes my clear.
Please fix 🥲
This happens on my withertouch merc too, without using asenaths. It seems to be specifically tied to a merc who cast curses?

I was having trouble with a merc using the asenath gloves earlier too but that is because the prolif needs a corpse apparently. This is apparent when doing harbinger, your poison never prolifs because they leave no corpses.

Acknowledge of this bug by GGG would be great. I would love to use the withertouch merc but they all have temp chains.

I can upload a video of this if needed

Can confirm this is still a thing. My sniper merc with Poacher's mark (and no other curse) will sometimes prevent poison from spreading on half of the mobs in a pack she shot through (failed a flawless chayula due to that, feelsbad)
