Arakaali's Fang Bugged

When you have spiders summoned, you can still trigger the raise spider skill

However it does not refresh or replace currently active spiders

This means that raise spiders does not follow the rules of any other minion skills

All other minion skills will replace currently active minions when recast

So why is Arakaali's Fang got this problem?

Is this intended?

This makes using the dagger feel very awful because once you summon the spiders you must wait for their entire duration to expire before being able to resummon them

Which results in you generally having them despawn around the time you get to the boss

Also dual wielding them has no benefit and does not increase the limit

Which makes support and building around this item very mediocre and lame

The dual wield might be intended, but I believe the summoning is a bug

I have asked a GGG member already and they could not comment or explain why this is happening

So therefore, I am making this post to draw attention to it

Don't bump using zero-content posts that just make the thread awful to read, use the 'B' icon on your first post. If the icon isn't there you're not allowed to bump the post yet (once per 24 hours).

Sometimes the option to bump a thread via the button isn't always there, even if it hasn't been bumped in DAYS

So I have to manually bump it by replying to it

Someone who doesn't update old posts clearly would not know this, so there's the information for you

And here's some proof before you even bother to type again about the subject

Yea I wish, currently it does not refresh or resummoning the spiders

Recasting Raise Spider while Spiders are active does absolutely nothing

This is why I think the skill is currently bugged

It is the only minion skill that doesn't follow the rules of minion skills

yah many league ago this was brought up and even build guides using the skill has mention it. Most of them says try to make 10 then wait and make another 10 out of sync to keep things going

Did the mechanics change??!!
I am unable to summon 20 spiders like before. Best i can do is 12 :). Most of the times i manage to summon ONLY 2x spiders even when the worms lend perfectly.
Anybody else having this issue?

I believe I noticed this as well

It requires corpses

"Raise two spectral spiders from each nearby corpse"

I gave up on raise spiders tbh, the best case scenario for them is having a +2 frenzy/+2 power charge shield with chance to deal double dmg

The lack of support for this skill just makes it so lack luster imo

Not only that but you cannot re-summon or refresh their duration

Again GGG has not commented if this is intended or a bug

If it is a bug... please fix so that Araakali's fang can refresh the spider duration

Otherwise toss this knife into the dumpster where it belongs

I've also brought it up before

GGG has never once addressed it or answered any questions on this item

Even included a bug report # in this one so that they could snap shot my character and test it themselves to see it happening

I have even emailed support before and talked directly to a GGG member

Still no answer on whether or not this is a bug or intended

I guess its intended but... I'm hoping its actually bugged and none at GGG ever tested or cared to fix it
