Critical Bug list in Death Blow

Here are the bugs related to the Barbarian’s Deathblow in Season 5.

I hope they will be fixed as soon as possible.

  1. Aspect of Encroaching Wrath not applied: When equipped with the third blade, the encroaching wrath buff is activated when consuming 100 Rage, but the increase in the damage of the Death Blow is not applied despite the buff being consumed.

  2. Aspect of Limitless Rage not applied: When equipped with the third blade, the limitless rage stack is activated by Rage acquisition, but the increased damage of the Death Blow is not applied despite the buff being consumed.

  3. Edge Master’s aspect not applied: When equipped with the third blade, the increased damage of the Death Blow is not applied regardless of the Rage gauge.

  4. Fists of fate’s unique effect not applied: When equipped with the third blade, Fists of fate’s unique effect(randomly damage from 1% to 300%) is not applied, the damage range of the Deathblow does not change because the unique effect is not applied.

  5. The Enhanced Death Blow is not applied to Shockwave which is the unique effect of Overkill : If the Enhanced Death Blow is applied, the shockwave should inflict 150% increased damage to the boss. However, the shockwave damage is not applied to the boss, which increases the gap in the ratio between the Shockwave damage and the original Death Blow damage.

Are these happening with Third Blade only, or is Crown of Lucion involve? I’ve notice all four happening as well. Without Lucion. Gonna go test out Steel Grasp with Third Blade and Ancient Oath.

There’s been no acknowledgement or proposed fix to any of the aspects or the Crown.

Only a nerf to Starlight to make the build unplayable next season.

Blizz gonna blizz.

I’ve got a feeling there’s something going on with the game “re-identifying” Deathblow as a “Core Skill” and it’s messing with its interactions that are originally tagged as a Weapons Mastery skill and it’s not applying it properly. I think the game is just confusing itself. I was surprised to see Expose Vulnerability work in a single swing, and not Two swings to apply… Idk man… I put my money on the above assumption the aspects aren’t attaching to Deathblow properly when Third Blade Makes it a Core skill. It essentially has both Core and Weapons Mastery tags in the skill sheet.

I’d start there for where the problem lies because they work fine without Third Blade and Lucion

We see a similar wonky interaction with Whirlwind and Lucion… Whirlwind won’t increase the Stacks of Lucions dmg buff no matter how long you channel it, however it does increase Starless Skies stacks… Which also gains a stack when spending primary resource. It DOES however HOLD Lucion stack at 5, but it won’t ever increase it

You are right. When using the third blade, the tag of the core skill is added, and it seems likely that the problem is that the weapon mastery tag is not applied properly.

These bugs are not fixed in Season 7 still.
