Cauldron Set Charm stops working

Still, the “of the Cauldron” set charm stops randomly working during combat frequently. This can easily be replicated in Infernal Hordes, and with consistency in Horadric Strongrooms. This really is game breaking for classes that build around this set.

A workaround is to re-equip during combat, teleporting to a different zone and back, or dying, after which stacks start building again. But that’s of course a nightmare to play around with.

I use Cauldron and don’t have this problem. What build you are running? (I’m using Incinerate)

I am not the only one reporting this issue, however in case it matters for debugging:

I run a homebrew firewall build (you couldn’t ruin this game faster for me than presenting a build someone else thought of, but that’s probably beside the point!).

I spam fire infinite teleport/familiar or main attack, and get my 15 stacks, then firewall away, repeat. Using El’Druin to speed that all up a lot in dungeons.

Why hasn’t this been fixed yet? It’s been a month since it was reported. This is GAME BREAKING. I did not buy this game to play what you want me to play or feel like fixing. Get it together.

I couldn’t replicate this problem.

Do you have your build saved in some site?

The bug is that Cauldron stop gaining stacks?

I also reported that bug, sometimes the set just stops working and you have to re-equip at least one of the set charms.

Can’t reproduce it with specific events, but i had it stop working mid-Pit when the guardian spawned, mid-Infernal Horde, after teleporting to a Helltide, from what i saw it looks random, no idea what to test to reliably reproduce it.

But i guarantee you, it IS broken. Just like Armageddon aspect :slight_smile:

I believe you.

I just want to know what happens when it breaks. Like, the buff disappears and you can’t get stacks anymore? The stacks stop accumulating? The stacks reach 15 but the Overheat doesn’t activate?

You stop getting the Buff, just as if you didn’t have the set equipped at all.

This is still a bug and it is game breaking for me right now. Running an Incinerate/Inferno build in S14. How has this not been fixed?

I have notice this bug as well about half thru a inferno you stop getting stack. When the inferno is done you start gain stack again.

Having the same problem here. I built around almost all of my skills costing mana, when the set bugs, my char is just a dead pile of junk until I unequip a piece and put it back again. Having the issue at any activity, nightmare dungeons, pit, hordes, everywhere. Works for around 10 minutes than it stop randomly. Prob gonna quit the game until its fixed.

Any plans to fix this bug it has been a pain since this i my main charactor and am finding it hard to go pass t8 and right in the middle of the pit or what ever am doing that involves been in a fight long the 5 mins i have to stop fix the issue then continue on. It gotten me killed a couple times or are you just worried about making characters look pretty.

Even with this bug i still managed to get up to Tower 145. But yes its the bane of my existence right now. It takes long enough to get a good mob/map/boss (dozens of runs), and then the odds of your cauldron set bugging out at some point on that good run is VERY very high… So its nearly impossible to push this. Even when the thing says its stacked at 15, dont trust it. its very obvious its not working at all sometimes. Blizzard too busy making $30 skin packs to fix this.

Lets say 90/100 runs are crap mob/map/boss rng, leaving 10 runs. Then your set bugs at least half the time, so theres 5/100 runs that are possible… and thats if you dont die. This is what it looks like at T145. Fun game, peak gameplay.
