Unravelling. Am I missing something?
|
I built a chaos dots Chayula monk, mainly using Contagion and Essence Drain atm. I expected Unravelling to allow the chaos dots to freeze, ignite or shock enemies, but that isn't happening. Nothing I can see would explain why it doesn't work. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

This is working as intended. Those ailments can only be interacted with through Hits, and the specific entry in the patch notes explicitly clarified that Unravelling isn't supposed to circumvent that. It only allows Chaos Damage to interact with ailments not typically associated with that damage type; it does nothing to affect whether DoTs may do so.
tl;dr: Hits dealing Chaos Damage will work with Unravelling; DoTs will not. This is not a bug.

Thank you for the explanation. You made it very clear. I did not know that about ailments.
This whole build was a waste of time. It wouldn't hurt if Unravelling itself clarified "...your Chaos Damage from hits randomly either...". It wouldn't require much alteration. Then again, maybe I'm the only idiot who didn't know about only hits generating ailments. |

You're very welcome - and I wouldn't call you an idiot. :)
It's possible the reason they don't is so that if something else in the game enables DoTs to interact with ailments GGG don't have to choose between either the tooltips being misleading or the tooltips needing to become more complex (and, thus, likely more buggy) to account for that possibility.
