Darkness Bugs. 0.3

Bump, still a major problem with darkness.
bump, and some mobs from 3 act vaal city just deplet darkness to zero before ES. skill is broken. The funny thing is that it's easy to fix, because it just returns zero due to incorrect data processing.
+1
bump again, actually this bug exist from december 2024, please fix https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3630833
...
Just tested after the latest patch with ogham manor blood pools.
Bug still in the game. Bumped, please notice.
+1 still not fixed
Bumping this thread - I've recently run into this issue, and tested it with a tiny ES pool (30) and a large Darkness pool (680) with Ogham Manor blood ground effects.

The 30 ES goes down as you'd expect for a low-level zone's DoT, but the moment the 30 ES disappears all 680 Darkness becomes reserved. This cannot be intended functionality. (It's also a bug for ES to be taking damage before Darkness.

This is a pretty major bug and quite disappointing that it hasn't been fixed for so long.


Edit: Including a short video clip of the bug in action

Thank you. I recorded a few tests of Darkness and DoT interactions in different conditions if you want these: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3846413

This is fantastic, thank you so much for this! Really hope GGG starts prioritizing this (and figures/pushes out a fix quickly).

Acolyte has a lot of flavor but everything's just janky or broken (I've been seeing posts about a bug with the Chaos Leech nodes, but I haven't been able to test them myself) and that's kinda sad.
