Level 32, in a malignant/forsaken tunnel. About halfway through the tunnel my corpse explosions/tendrils started going off automatically. I don’t think this is intended. Is this a bug or did I do something accidentally? I’m on PC if that helps.
one of the blue hearts auto casts corpse skills (and skellie summon)
Yep, that’s it. Hmm, not sure if I want that or not.
It’s one of the orange hearts actually.
The blue heart for necro places a Decripfy under your foot.
It might sound bad to have them go off automatically, but if you combine that heart with corpse generating skills like reaper skeletons + decompose or the passive that gives you ca chance to make corpses on all attacks, it is really really amazing in the quality of life department. Now instead of carpal tunnel from pressing corpse explosion 30 times a minute, you can actually see what you are fighting and use your core skills on them instead.
Oops, yeah orange. Blue is the color I seem to get 90% of my jewelry in.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The activation will always go from LEFT to RIGHT with summon skeleton casting first no matter where it is on the bar. (The heart doesn’t say anything about raising skeletons but it does)
Because of this you always want to have TENDRILS before EXPLOSION from left to right.
In my experience it doesn’t matter what order the skills are on your bar.
It always fires minion>tendrils>explosion, in that order. For reference my bar is corpse-tendrils-minions.
Also fun fact, tendrils casted from this heart don’t trigger the tendrils CD, but they won’t trigger when tendrils is on CD.
Interestingly I’ve had the Decrepify appear and I do not have that gem slotted nor any points in the skill!
I think I saw that CT from the heart is on 3 sec CD, CE will proc every 1 sec. CT from heart WILL consume the corpse, while your own CT will not.
You can do interesting things with this by using your CT from far away, then run up and the heart will proc CT again. So you can chain stun mob packs. Helps a lot with survivability if you can get the setup right.
Also fun fact, tendrils casted from this heart don’t trigger the tendrils CD, but they won’t trigger when tendrils is on CD.
The auto tendrils also consumes the corpse, where as the casted version does not. Important to note since you can’t then follow up with a corpse explosion when it auto casts tendrils on a single corpse.
In my experience it doesn’t matter what order the skills are on your bar.
It always fires minion>tendrils>explosion, in that order. For reference my bar is corpse-tendrils-minions.
One of the devs retweeted what was basically this. AKA Left to Right doesn’t matter. It’s already a set priority.
CTT being on CD change nothing, the heart still procs a CT every 3 seconds, just tested it.
