Pain Offering bug

"

However, when on a controller the targeting for the skill seems have no preference whatsoever for persistent vs non persistent minions.

That's not the issue. It fails just the same way when you only have persistent minions and are standing right next to one and facing it.

Since it always works out of combat, I think it might be a bug with it using mana when you "targeted" an enemy.

The same problem here with controller and auto targeting not working correctly. Sometimes if I run around and direct character correctly it works, but most of the time it doesn't from first try.

I've found the cause of this bug! Infernal Hound and Raging Spirit can't be targeted by Pain Offering. This is so much problem in real fight when it's difficult to point other minions, especially with a controller.

Yes, this skill is absolutely infuriating to use whilst using a controller. It works maybe once out of ten tries. So much of the game has worked well with controller, but this skill is just rubbish with it.

I target on the ground and it sometimes summons the spike. And I don't see any of my summons disappearing.

If it requires a target why does it consume mana if the requirement is not fulfilled.

Yes to both. On the rare chance it does work properly I never see it actually sacrifice a skeleton. And when it doesn't summon anything it's still consuming mana. Just bugged all around.

Yes, it's super painful to use it, the game would be so much more enjoyable if they could fix it :/

Guys!

Try holding down the button for 1+ sec.
For some strange reason it really helps.
Works like 90% of the time.

I am on pc on controller.

I have the same issue with a keyboard on PC. Very often I press the key and I see that the mana is spent, but the tower does not appear. It is pretty annoying that you have to press multiple times and, usually, try to stay pressing for a second or two to make sure that it works. In the heat of the action, you just don't have the time for that.

But I actually noticed the same with other skills. When I had flame of wall on my keyboard it would also not cast on every key press; but on the left mouse button it casts instantly every time.

same bug :/ we loose lot of mana to spend it 1 time
the skill should focus nearest invoc auto

I’ve read the comments. On the controller you have point in the direction of your minions. It’s best just to see a group of enemies and roll back and activate pain offering, works every time no matter how many gem’s socketed.

This worked for me. Pain offering started not to work when I changed Item. I removed the gem. Moved to a different location. then When I tried putting it back the gem slot is not there. Main Problem is that I replaced my ring. Old ring has 1 extra gem slot. New ring does not have that buff. Hope this helps.
