I was about to make a topic about this issue.

I haven’t played my bonemancer since 2.4 because he is NL and now I play ladder.

But I can confirm this issue with corpse explosion targetting.

It’s really hard to target now and it’s a painful experience to use.

I feel it’s just like if there’s a mob above a corpse you can no longer explode the corpse since the hitbox of the mob hinders the hitbox of the corpse.

It’s really important to fix this bug since it’s one of the most important skill of the necro and it’s a pain to play atm.

Can confirm this. Please do something about it. Its just horrible to play Necro with CE at the moment.

Yeah with corpse explosion selected, OBVIOUSLY mouse2 should only target corpses. Why hasn’t this been fixed yet.!

Allso, the sound of corpse explosion is allmost completely gone.

In skills.txt, the ItemTarget field for Corpse Explosion is set to 3, which it is supposed to be. This setting is supposed to make the skill target a nearby corpse in the event you attempt to cast it when you do not have a corpse selected. It seems that the game client is ignoring this setting currently. Given that selection of corpse vs. enemy appears to be done isometrically, corpses become very difficult to target when an enemy is just south of the corpse, as the enemy’s selection box occludes the selection box of the corpse, and the game client seems to have no preference for selecting corpses or living enemies when Corpse Explosion is selected.

A partial workaround can be achieved by attempting to cast Corpse Explosion with nothing selected on the cursor. If a corpse is near enough to the cursor, the skill will cast.

The simplest workaround atm is to hold the shift key and click on the opposite side of the corpse. If the corpse is on the ground NW of your position, simply shift+right-click a little further NW of the corpse to your screens edge, not in-between your character and the corpse, but on the opposite side of the corpse; furthest from your character.

I bought the game a few days ago and made a necro as first char and instantly felt that CE was broken. I was wondering if it was just me, but glad to know it’s not.

From patch 2.4.3

  • Fixed an issue where corpse skills were not auto-targeting corpses when using just right click

Yay
