[1.3] Elemental Harmony doesn't work with damage blockers

#1 Post by Dracos »

I saw this with both Block and Anti-Magic Shield in the way, but basically:

If you are hit with an element, and various effects reduce its damage to zero, Elemental Harmony as a sustain will never trigger.

Realized this during running the volcano with tons of Fire Resist and Anti-magic shield up. Despite waltzing through seas of fire, Elemental Harmony never triggered, thus preventing getting the nice helpful speed boost for that stage.

Since it says "On Hit" and not "On Damage", it seems like a bug. It's unfortunate, since Wild-Gift/Harmony seems a natural pairing with Wild-Gift / Anti-Magic (Avoid the damage, then hit them harder with the provided buff).

This is how all similar effects work. If you take zero damage, it doesn't trigger damage-taken effects.

I thought that had gotten fixed on some other ones (wildfire or something). Text should reflect if so though.

Either way, it makes for an unfortunate pairing with its natural partner Anti-magic shield (Since if you go AM, you only have the Harmony tree as an option for sandworm).
