[1.7.2] Detrimental effects bypassing draconic will

#1 Post by ratbuddy »

At least nihil and atrophy, possibly others (from those temporal effects trees?) but those are the ones I noticed. Activated draconic will, stepped into view of enemies, immediately hit with detrimental effects - this shouldn't be possible according to the prodigy text.

I think this is due to Nihil and Atrophy being "other" type effects. I didn't look at the Draconic Will code, but I assume it's making an exception for "other" status effects because these are things that can't normally be prevented or manually removed. For example, the degen from Cauterize is an "other" effect and the prodigy would be totally overpowered if you could just prevent or remove that effect. I don't think that will changed. Changing effects like Nihil to be be "magical" type instead of "other" would allow them to be prevented/removed, but that might cause other problems.
