Arcane Surge not override Arcane Blessing

Just noticed that when you get Arcane Surge from Arcane Blessing and then you cast for example lvl 20 Arcane Surge then it does not override the one from Arcane Blessing. It starts the timer for casted Arcane Surge and once the one from blessing wears off the casted one takes over (if any duration left). Could this be looked into ?

And same for Arcane Capacitor, the casted Arcane Surge does not override that as well :/

Broken game mechanics fix waiting room, please take a number and sit down. I explained exactly what's happening in the thread MonaHuna linked, but I'll spell it out again.

This is caused in part by the mechanics of Arcane Capacitor, in part by a broken buff strength detection.

a) The effects of the Arcane Surge buff only apply to things that happen after the buff is granted, and Arcane Capacitor does not count the mana spent on a skill that fulfills the mana requirement of Arcane Surge towards the strength of that Arcane Surge buff.

In other words, if you're using the fairly common Arcane Cloak-lvl 20 Arcane Surge setup with Arcane Capacitor to grant a 60% increased AS buff, any mana spent by the Arcane Cloak cast will not count towards the Capacitor mana count. You will get a lvl 20 Arcane Surge with 10% increased effect (from the small node prior to Capacitor). To get a 60% increased effect lvl 20 AS buff you need to have spent at least 1k mana in the four previous seconds (recently).

b) The game incorrectly tracks buff strength, picking the buff with higher increased effect as the strongest, regardless of level of the buff. So if you pop your Arcane Cloak linked to a lvl 20 Arcane Surge you will get a lvl 20 AS buff with no or little increased effect, if you're then granted another AS buff such as the one from Arcane Blessing the game will determine that this lvl 1 Arcane Surge buff with 60% increased effect is stronger than the lvl 20 buff with no increased effect, despite the lvl 20 effect always actually being stronger.


Ideally the mechanics of Arcane Capacitor would be changed to make it not totally obfuscated, but the buff strength detection is straight-up broken and needs a fix.

Please fix this GGG this is pretty bad :(

Still bugged.
