Occultist's Profane Bloom does not bypass hexproof-specific mobs
|
Hexproof-specific mobs such as the Orchard boss or the hexproof mod on rare monsters seem immune to Profane Bloom. Despite stripping over 90% fire resistance (I was fire-based ignite before switching to Blackflame), their resistances did not budge and they take much more time to kill than non-hexproof monsters. I saw this behaviour in Acts, so it isn't a matter of map modifiers.
EDIT: Further testing is making me realize that there is a percentage chance that it doesn't work, but it does work a lot of the time, I'll try to get a screenshot of this behaviour. EDIT 2: I was able to reproduce the behaviour, but Einhar unceremoniously killed the rare before I was able to screenshot it. The curses turn into the hexproof symbol; it is not cosmetic as the resists of a rare mob in Blood Acqueduct did not move (tested with an Occultist that uses Frostbite and Elemental weakness). This bug seems rare. EDIT 3: I have removed the line where it says it works correctly with hexproof maps, there's a chance it does not.

I have found definitive proof that the hexproof bug exists. The character I am using is a Hexblast Ignite Occultist using Blackflame. I curse things with Despair, Vulnerability, Punishment and Temporal Chains. The Craicic Vassal has a base chaos resistance of 25%. Occultist's Void Beacon strips 20% of that chaos resistance, leaving 5% so that it will still show the "resists chaos" line. If Profane Bloom worked correctly, Despair would strip another 30% or so chaos resistance on this monster and it would show the "vulnerable to chaos" line, but it doesn't. I could not build any doom on this monster, making it very resilient to my damage. Last edited by CoalMN#4906 on Oct 29, 2021, 1:29:45 PM

 Bug Reference 31,701,729 This Hexproof bug can affect the entire map, I could not build Doom off anything. The map boss took minutes to kill and I was unable to effectively hurt a Blight boss before it killed the pump. It's apparent the bug is happening when the hexproof symbol appears. |

Nothing to add, but that’s an excellent bug report. 👍

Can confirm.
I'm playing in a team with an Occultist with Profane Bloom, and we occasionally encounter monsters that have Hexproof symbols above their head. We have not yet discerned a pattern. Online delenda est:
When the lifecycle of PoE will draw to an end many years from now, there needs to be a final patch making it available offline. |

Bump, bug still exists.

Bugged still

Confirming that this bug still exists.

That's annoying. It seems to happen a lot on delve and those rare monsters on delve are tanky AF without the curses on them.

Can confirm that the bug still exists. I'm using both Cospri's Will and Profane Bloom and my curses aren't piercing hexproof. RIP my dreams of ignite hexblast.
