Apex of the Moment is not working -

GGG please, fix this. Utterly unfun to finally ascend only to make a non-functional choice.

can confirm does not work, even tried blasphemy to see if it would apply the slow to it's presence.

+1 on this. HELP

+1, hoping this gets resolved soon since it feels bad to have completley wasted ascendancy points.

does not work indeed

Seemed to work before the patch, now its not working

I also thought that it doesn't work, but I checked with a hero without skill and it seems to have an effect

Hello,

I also think it doesn't work. Yesterday I finished the trial in act 2 and went for this ascendency node.

My test has been done in the badland map in act 2.

so first I thought that on white mobs maybe the 20% slow is not that noticeable but on a second thought I was like "man that's still 20% I should see/feel it"

so first of all I wanted to make sure that white mobs had the same speed if they are close to me or very far. And unless the "in your presence" (without any scaling) means the whole screen, then there is no difference.

I've also tried to see if that was some scaling debuff or debuff that triggers after a certain amount of time in your presence (would be weird because it is not stated anywhere).
Needless to say that it was not the case.

But during that test I've noticed something very interesting.

In the badland you have those big mobs called "lost-men brute". What is interesting is that they charge at you with their shield and then slam the ground with their huge mace.

When they charge, when they get close enough to you, they are slowed as fuck. They go from Usain Bolt running speed to my grandma' running speed. And when the slam animation triggers it goes back to Usain Bolt speed.


My conclusion is that this ascendency node is fully bugged.

- it doesn't work at all on most (if not all) mobs
- on the one that it works, it only slows the movement speed and not the action speed (charge is slowed but slam animation has no speed penalty)


hopefully it will be fixed. The whole ascendency has some very interesting nodes for us to toy around but it feels bad to finish your first ascendency and at the end it doesn't matter since the allocated points do not work

posting for more visibility.

ascendancy passive does not work (no idea if it worked before, but it deffos doesn't work at the time of posting)

Hopefully something simple and it gets put into the next patch fix!

I was just going to write a bug report on this. Thank you.
