Purging Staff

[GlassGo]

In description said that this purging fire work on enemies while in reality it spread on escort too.
Lost escort because of that.
Bug or something?

Purging Staff ??

I think there's a fixedart staff that gives you a free cast of Plaguefire spell. Or whatever it's called.

And yes OP if you cast AOE skills & spells and an escort is in the way you will damage them. Even if you just shoot a projectile they could walk in front of it after and get killed. It can be a good tactical move to switch places with them before attacking. Or even cast a spell on them like phase door or banish to move em out of the way to safety.

No, that's not the point I meant.
When enemies died from Plagufire they explode - that's fine.
But description said that it spread on ENEMIES which isn't true, this is how that escort got major damage.

Might want to make a post about it in the bug forum then. They recently changed another item which caused similar problems, it was these artifact boots that left a trail of fire and would damage & kill friendly minions. last patch made it so they only hurt hostiles.
