Impending Doom + Vixen's Entrapment BROKEN on 1st cast

I'm 113/115 on map completion, build is still playable but you arent going to be doing pinnacle bosses in any reasonable time, and mavening red maps with some mods turn it to a grudge match, I spent most of time since start in heist and havent had an issue

Is it fixed yet?

Ain't touching the game until it is

Im just farming white maps and yellow maps for now can't push thru red map at tier 11... sadly doesnt do damage single target. But the work around I qouted before helped in the farming process alrady at 9 divs gonna save it up until this bug is foixed sadsh cant even do the anceints mechanics because no damage at all...

you really should check out the guide from Allie on youtube. you will melt red maps afterwards WITH the bug no matter what. It is still annoying sometimes when the cascade is stuck in an "I wont make damage idiot" loop, but waiting for the cast to end and recasting fixes it for me every time. then I can spam again and all is good. can´t wait for the fix, the build will sky rocket :-)

For future GGG reference - this is what I would have liked the communication towards this issue to look like:

I left some placeholders there.

Hello <Reporter>,

thanks for reaching out. We have verified the reported issue and are currently working on a solution.

<Optional-Bug-Details>

The fix is expected to release on <Date>, <Time> <Timezone>. Please check our Twitter for information on potential changes to this schedule.

In the meantime, try <Next-Steps-if-any>.

We thank you for your reports and your patience while we try our best to sort this issue out as quickly as possible.

<Name>, GGG

Have you seen the amount of bug reports in the forum? Can you imagine how many people would be required just to write those answers? come on man, lets keep things realisitc.

To make that happen, the atlas progression would be gated with the battle pass, any stash tab would be pay only and skipping the lab would be 30$. Not that there are not thousands of players willing to pay that, but, would not be good for the game.

I think overall we can be pretty happy with how GGG handles bug reports and the time they need to address certain things.

It is still good for mapping, and better than most of the builds you can play in the wild. Yes, it literally have zero single target, but no, it is not "no red tier maps" bad.
Maps are not a problem that is correct. But Bosses are a pain and if you have some cringe corrupts on red maps. Some Bosses were healing for me. Quin moment.

But it's all good, we will get a fix and farming essences on white maps is a shitload of currency.

Hahahahah oh man I just did a GEODe tier 11 map thiking like oh my damage is big maybe I should try corrupting it and get the completing.. I was dead wrong! hahah the boss regenerates HP! the poison didnt even trickle hahahahah welp I gone back to farming yellow maps and getting my achivements done but no red maps for me until then I use the cursed ground with spell cascade workaround for time being and so far mapping wise its a damn bulldozer. Hopefully fix will release soon until then no red corrupted maps just normal red maps will do.

Someone tried breath of the council + spell blade support is it better than apep's rage ?

It is indefinitely better, and you won't have to worry about mana that much.

And also, not deployed yet. kek.

That's smart using BotC and spellblade, gonna try that. Losing the 30% cast speed from apeps gonna feel bad though :/

I mean this respectfully, but it's VERY obvious you don't work in the software industry. People talk about this kinda 'communication' and when you do it all that happens is backlash because you don't have all the info people want. GGG would post that template with

we got your report
we don't know what's wrong
we don't know how it broke
we don't know how long it will take to fix
thanks for telling us that it's broke

and the thread would be FULL of crappy comments about GGG, the devs writing bad code, the testing process, and on, and on, and on. They could spoon-feed you a workaround and everyone would complain about the time dedicated to finding it should have been spent resolving the actual bug, or that the workaround is a 20% dps loss...

Been a software engineer for 20 years and until you got a fix for the real bug the best answer is always "We hear you, and we're looking into it."
