Merc Caustic Arrow Denies Profane Bloom On Kill

Mercenary Toxicologist's Caustic Arrow appears to take priority over Death's Oath/Blight damage output when it comes to triggering the on kill effect Profane Bloom.

In PoB I do approximately 30 times the damage output of my mercenary, yet so long as a mob dies on caustic arrow's ground, profane bloom does not occur.

Despair/Enfeeble is being applied via Blasphemy.

Notice the lack of pink pops on mob death, which should occur 50% of the time on my kill (which should be occurring 30x more likely than mercenary kill.

It is preferable so you can actually see the ground effect and lack of pops better, but the forum reasonably so doesn't like video embeds.

Mercenary gear:



Profane Bloom for reference:

"you or your minions kill" on profane bloom. Unfortunately the mercenary isn't your minion so he doesn't trigger your effects.

Unfortunately the mercenary isn't your minion so he doesn't trigger your effects.

The issue is I'm unable to trigger profane bloom 100% of the time on the condition a dieing mob is standing on caustic arrows chaos pool. An incredible discrepancy between my merc and I's damage output exists that should favor me immensely.

My guess is that the server handles tick rate updates for dot damage in a way where on the tick that both me and the merc participate in a kill, the merc may have priority in a list that grants them credit before me.
