Acolyte of Chayula Bug - detonated volatility buff

Acolyte of Chayula Bug - detonated volatility buff
Playing Acolyte of Chayula and one of the huge issues with this ascendancy is the up-time regarding the buff from detonated volatility.

Theres no way to automate detonation and Catharsis makes a skill unusable if you dont have a stack of 20 volatility. To solve this I put Catharsis on my basic attack as a buff trigger.

However, there is no way to reliably keep the up-time on the buff as each detonated stack HAS ITS VERY OWN EXPIRATION TIME despite being visually stacked (in the UI at the top left of the screen).

I detonate 100 stacks and it says i have a uptime of 10 seconds. I detonate 40 more 3 seconds later and then the buff says I have 140 for 10 seconds, but after 7 seconds the original 100 expire and im left with 40.

I believe this is a huge bug holding back this ascendancy and/or a oversight by the developers. If this is intended then it reduces the viability of this build and tbh ill never play it again as this ascendancy does not match invoker at all and is not viable without the original sin ring.


if this is intended then they need to provide a path of automating detonation and/or remove the requirement of Catharsis only being able to use the skill it supports if you have 20 stacks of volatility.

I hope a developer sees this.
