Contagion does not spread Essence Drain Bug.

same here, and im sure it worked well pre ascendancy 100%. GGG could we have an answer in reasonable amount of time?

Please ggg can You comment if You are aware of this ?

I noticed this and made a quick video showing it, hopefully someone from GGG sees this and thinks it's worth fixing, feels very clunky killing monkeys, ribbons, spiders etc.

Same issue. Don't know how it was pre 2.2 but it's really annoying. 😕 Hopefully this will be adressed.

+1 same issue here.

Hopefully ggg can clear this issue asap

Hello

Thank you for the report, we're looking into this.

TNX!

Oh wow glad i found this. This is my first time using essence drain and i just thought it was over hyped. I might go back to leveling with freezing pulse and frost bomb for now and hope a fix gets out soon.

Same here - first time trying out ED and love the unique playstyle otherwise. Thanks for addressing this, we appreciate it!

I also posted a thread about this yesterday.


I can personally back up some of the things people are saying. I tested this on white and then blue packs of mini totems in Kaom's Path. It seems that if ED kills on impact, its dot isn't carried by the dead target's contagion.
I seriously hope this is a bug and not a change in skill design because ED just became my highest level character like last week so this would be a huge bummer if the change is kept.
