Acolyte of Chayula - Purple Flames/Waking Dream/Into The Breach

Please make picking up new Purple Flame stacks reset the timer on all stacks.

Currently, each Purple Flame stack falls off with its own independent timer. This makes it incredibly difficult and unrealistic to get 10 stacks. It's a little easier with doubled flame duration, but even then, you'll have 10 stacks for maybe 1-2 seconds, since if you're grabbing purple flames, you're getting 1 per second MAX if you're incredibly lucky.

I feel like it should be that when you pick up a new Purple Flame, the timer on all stacks resets. This way it's much more realistic to actually pick them up and run with some % gained chaos damage while mapping or bossing.

Right now, they're kind of like a little afterthought bonus that you can't count on. Acolyte of Chayula already doesn't really have a lot going for it, so it feels bad to even have the minigame mechanic be unrewarding and unreliable.

its bugged. when i'm running somewhere they never spawn, but when i stand still they do but half the time they spawn outside the radius. so, fix that, make the timer reset when picking up purples, and nerf the purple buff. getting 140% extra chaos easily would be too much
What's extremely frustrating is that the Purple Flames of Chayula that you get from Mantra of Destruction (which last 20 seconds), are overwritten by the Purple flames that you collect from Into the Breach; effectively making you weaker.
I'll preface that acolyte of chayula, excluding survivability, feels much better this league. However, with the lower survivability and general damage output from chayula (although much better than last league), it could use some more tuning/buffs on the ascendancy.

The mantra of destruction flames given and the flames of chayula do make sense to reset each others' stack. Although this could pretty much allow you to have 10 stacks indefinitely, it could use the buff.

Survivability, on a side note, would be great to have mana leech also apply to energy shield. Survivability of the melee monk with this league's mechanics is very rough and you are typically forced to disengage (I'm sure you chonks know, just putting this here for GGG visibility).

@Rakshaka#6014 thank you, I did not know mantra's flames overwrite chayula's flames, good to know.
