Bug Reports (Path of Exile 1) - Sapped/Brittle/Scorched ground on boots not working with flicker strike - Forum

Per the title, when using flicker strike with the sapped/brittle/scorched ground while moving searching exarch implicit from boots it will not create the effect on the ground even though the flicker strike teleport counts as moving. I think the issue is due to a very large delay on the ground effect being created after movement has started. An example of a ground effect being created properly is the Inquisitor consecrated ground dropping instantly when you stop moving therefore it can be used with flicker strike. Following suite it would make sense for the "while moving" effects to be creating when you start moving instead of ~1 second after you start moving.

" Mark_GGG wrote: Flicker striking (and over teleports) have always moved you, but they do so instantly. That means the movement takes no time, and thus there is no point in time at which you were moving, so effects which happen "while moving" can't apply. However, the fact that you did move means you weren't continuously stationary. You did move, but there was no time at which you were moving, because your movement took 0 time. This is the same as why players can still leech with instant leech, but don't benefit from "while leeching" effects because there's no point in time at which they can be said to "be leeching".

If that is the intended interaction (which hopefully it isn't) then I guess it's just another nerf to playing any "melee" ability except cyclone. I checked a few other posts such as lightning warp and that does appear to be the case that you "moved" but weren't "moving". Still the reverse doesn't make sense as if an inquisitor had been stationary for any time or just for an instant if we were to compare it to flicker it would still drop consecrated ground. It would make most sense for the mechanic to drop ground effects either at the start or end of the movement ability, for example on lightning warp it should drop it where you teleported FROM or where you teleported TO.

It is the intended way this works. If you would like to see something changed, the feedback forum is the place to make that request. This isn't a bug.
