Hi,
I realized a bug with corpse explosion. Since the update it is very hard to focus on corpses to let them explode when there are many enemies that are still alive. Before it was possible to trigger corpse explosion near of corpses instead of clicking the EXACT corpse. It seems that the prioritized selected item are ALIVE monsters instead of corpses WHEN corpse explosion is the selected skill.
This destroys the mechanic to chain react and leads to massive damage loss!!! Summonancer is a dead build with this!
This was a great mechanic all over d2. Please stop spoiling things in D2R that were already awesome before!!
Best,
BB

Have not tested this for myself but I would imagine this bug was caused by the changes made to Holy Bolt to correct targeting issues with it.
Yes, exactly the same issue. Clicking on gold, items, or living monsters will not allow CE to go off. It seems revive runs equally poorly, but I have not tested that as much. Darn near unplayable on Necro now.
Seems to happen with anything that targets corpses. With a very high skill in CE you can somewhat bypassit by clicking far away into the ground so that some random corpse explodes, but still it’s annoying. I imagine it’s way more annoying with lower skill level
Also having lot of trouble with barbarian Grim Ward

It sucks, but holding SHIFT and using CE works just fine.
So sad that I did not check this before ladder… died so many times to this crap… luring monsters to just stand there and CE won’t go off… Please fix this asap

Can confirm this happens. This needs to be a top priority for Blizzard to fix. Skellymancer is almost unplayable due to this, breaking a skill that has worked fine for TWENTY years!!!

I can confirm it.
As necromancer is my main character I felt instantly that something is not right. Please Blizzard - it ruins my start of the ladder.
However it works fine with quick casts - but I like classic controls more.

it seems to be a targeting issue, though this is just my limited experience we are talking about. it seems to me you cannot target corpses with your mouse while you have corpse explosion skill active while alive monsters are standing on top of the targeted corpses. essentially alive monsters block the ability to target corpses under them.
either way its absolutely awful to use this skill now, very frustrating and is your main damage dealer still as a summon mancer as the “buffs” to skeleton mages did absolutely nothing other then stop them dying to monster farts.

Same issue here, please this has to be fixed, don’t let this thread die this needs to be seen, CE is VITAL to so many builds but right now it’s just broken, it never worked so difficultly for the past 20 years so it shouldn’t suddenly become ridiculous like this now! My partners build is actually USELESS entirely right now because the skill is not working properly, it’s SO janky

Wondering if this issue has even been noticed hopefully this is really a bug and not something they tried to implement cause this would completely wreck everything

That would be good we have a reply for this bug if it’s plan to correct it.
Same issue here. CE is really hard to trigger when there are a group of live mobs over a corpse. I realized it from the very beginning. Please fix this. Thanks
Hopefully this gets fixed, I haven’t played a necro since the update but my friend has noticed the issues with Corpse Explosion targeting.
I created a post with little more details but i did not see this post until now. I am too having the same problem since 2.4 update. Anytime monsters or your own minions stands over the corpse, you can’t cast any skill that involves with corpse (CE, raise Skeleton, or any related corpse using skill).
OMG… You are a hero. Quick casting is an… OK temp fix <3 ty. Made it playable again.
I felt something was off but thought maybe it was just me. This is indeed quite frustrating, since I don’t necessarily like using quick casting. Hope it’ll get fixed soon.

I find even quick cast fails when the corpse is under an elite boss:(
Having the same issue - please fix with next patch Blizzard
