So, the Rare Chaos Perk “Purge the Infected” states that my core skills also apply poisoning over 4 secons which spends Spirit to be guaranteed Critical Strikes. However, I have noticed that when this perk is equipped I am losing Spirit with every attack from my Companions and other skills, not just my core skills, and I DO NOT have the Unique Chaos Perk Savagery equipped to make my companions core skills.
The perk does two different things:
- Core skills inflict poisoning. It does this for free.
- Any direct damage hit on a poisoned enemy (regardless of skill category) will become a guaranteed Crit at the cost of 5 spirit.
Your companions and other skills are benefiting from the second effect, but their auto-crits come at a cost.
Ok, thanks for clearifing that. I apparently kept reading that wrong. Thanks again.
The real bug with Purge the Infected would be in combo with the “Savagery” (Unique) perk.
With Savagery on, Companions are supposed to be Core skills too. One would assume the wolves active attacks would be considered a cote skill by Purge the Infected, but it doesn’t, or maybe its applied to the base damage of the base crappy hit only, in which case it would be useless. I wanted poison wolves so bad… XD
