Bloodless scream bugged

Bloodless Scream unique for necro, darkness skills are not chilling.

The description says:

  • Your Darkness Skills Chill enemies for up to 40%. Lucky Hit: Your Darkness Skills have up to a 100% chance to generate [7 - 10] additional Essence against Frozen targets.

It does not say it turns your Darkness skills into cold skills, it says “Your Darkness Skills Chill enemies”.

sorry wrote that wrong, but I havent seen any chilling taking place.

Its not bugged, but it is surprisingly bad. The chill does apply, so affects on chilled enemies work ok. The biggest problem is getting freeze to apply, which is the primary reason you would pick this up. You have to have other sources of chill to get freeze to trigger at all. Cold mages (which kinda only makes sense to run if you have bloodless scream), penitent greaves (ok, but doesn’t fit necro that great imo), or frostburn (basically skips the chill factor and comes with a dead stat for necro).

I am thinking the problem is that it does not work with DoT shadow to stack chill, at least not what I could tell. Which is most of the biggest effects for darkness skills. I think it only uses on cast hits, which is super slow on a 2h scythe. I am running reap, sever with the lucky hit blight pools, the greaves that give sever the shadow trail and the darkness version of corpse explosion and it still does not build enough chill for freezing. This thing really needs some love.

so maybe the chill cap at 40% is the problem with it
