Mechanical Questions Thread

My another concern is the Desecrate spell. Here's the list of monsters that cannot be desecrated by some reason. It's not complete.

Armour Cruncher
Bringer of Souls
Knitted Horror
Towering Figment

Unlike others, Bringer of Souls affects the desecrate spell.
It's a monster that summons skeletons and looks like a necromancer, you can find it in the Fellshrine Ruins area of the Act 7. After killing it has no physical corpse, and has only visual one. You cannot detonate or raise from it.
When you're using Desecrate spell, often it doesn't create corpses in this area, but creates the poison cloud.

I did a bug report but it didn't get any attention. There are also some bug reports from the others related to that. Example: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2084053

Thanks for getting back to us.

It looks like one of our developers has commented on the bug report thread that they're looking into this issue now.

In regards to the Desecrate issue, there are some monsters that are "non-desecratable" as Mark has mentioned here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1831406/page/1

We do appreciate your feedback regarding this however. If you have any further questions about this, you could try asking in the Mechanics Thread, and Mark may be able to answer this for you.

Hi

I'm Mark_GGG, and I know how PoE works. If you'd also like to, this thread is for you.

We're trying out something new as a way for people with mechanical questions to get answers. People can post mechanical questions in this thread, and every few days I'll come by and answer as many as I can. This is specifically for questions about game mechanics - I can't tell you why a balance change was made, whether something will get nerfed, or what option is "best" for a given build. So if you have questions like "Does X support Y?", "What order do A, B, and C happen in when I get hit?", or "Why do the calculations come out this way when I take this passive?", I can help. Questions like "What will the next league be?", "How do people level so fast?", or "What were you thinking when you nerfed X?" are off topic for this thread, and I'm not going to be answering them.

I'm not perfect, and some things I'll have to look up. It might take me longer to get an answer to your question than someone else's - please be patient in this case. I will be doing my best to answer every mechanical question asked in the thread, although this is on top of my other work, so again, please be patient in waiting for me to get to things. If you ask about announced, but unreleased content (such as unique items shown in previews before the patch that adds them to the game), please understand such things are not always final when shown, and not all the answers might exist yet.

This doesn't mean I won't still be replying in other parts of the forum, so don't feel you have to ask things here to get answers.

That's pretty much all I have to say, so let's get the questions rolling!

Here's a link to just the GGG posts in this thread, for people who just want to see answers.
