Impossible to gain souls for Gluttony while under the effect of any other Vaal skill

As mentioned in the title, if I am under the effect of say Vaal Haste, but *not* under the effect of Gluttony, it is impossible to gain souls for Gluttony.

The 3.5 patch notes concerning Gluttony are the following :
"Blood of Corruption's Gluttony of Elements skill now prevents those affected by the aura from gaining Vaal souls. This affects all versions of the item."

Noting that it says "the aura" and not "any Vaal aura", I should still be able to charge souls for Gluttony while under the effect of Vaal Haste.

I am not the only one with the issue since other people relying on Gluttony for their build have the same problem.

Please let me know if I misunderstood how the skill currently works, or if that behavior actually was unintended.

Thanks!

Thanks for your report, this is intended.
Using a Vaal skill will lock out ALL other Vaal skills from gaining souls.
The change made to Gluttony of Elements is that everyone affected by the aura will lose the ability to gain souls (not just the caster).

I hope this helps.
Alright. Thought the soul gain prevention was local to the skill and not global (based on wording from the wiki).

Thanks for the quick answer!
