I tried chained spear on dummy. It obviously inflict slow debuff but it doesn’t trigger detested cursed property and probably we can’t get some bonuses like “Damage to enemies loss of control”. Please fix it. Slow debuff is obviously a loss of control effect.
Edit: Seems this bug is fixed. Now chained spear with Shackled Fate essence proc detested curse.
The Nettled curse is based on your hero gaining a shield and causing counterattacks to enemies that hit you…
As Chained Spear does not cause your hero to gain a shield it does not proc Nettled.
Sorry i mistakenly typed nettled instead of detested. My question is about detested.
I think you’re talking about the Shackled Fate essence for Chained Spear.
Tested it and it definitely did not trigger the Detested curse.
After that I tried the Impaler’s Breath, Cracklefell and Temple of Battle essences, which all triggered the Detested curse.
Now what I could see when going to Skills and selecting Chained Spear is, that Shackled Fate marks it as “Gather, Buff” whereas the other 3 mark it as “Control” or “Gather, Control”. Perhaps the Cursed Property is triggered according to those tags.
One could argue if the essence is labeled wrong, due to the slow debuff on the enemy (which should also earn it a “Control”), but it seems like it’s “working as intended” right now.
Thanks for the insight. I didn’t notice skill marks. As you know, we can see which debuffs we inflicted on training dummy. When i use chained spear on training dummy with Shackled Fate essence, it shows a debuff called “Slowed” that has chained spear symbol. I uploaded screenshots. You can check the links below.

We slow our targets by using chained spear skill with shackled fate essence and slowing effect considered loss of control. For exemple i can trigger detested curse by using Fa rune’s “Primary Attacks … reduce enemy Attack and Movement Speeds …” affix. So IMHO detested curse must be triggered when i use chained spear skill with shackled fate essence.
I agree, that Shackled Fate should trigger the curse by considering what debuffs it puts on the enemy.
But just from the information provided by the game and how I imagine the cursed properties work, I don’t know if it’s a bug in the implementation or indeed intended behavior.
Hopefully the Community Mangers will pick this report up and forward it to the Devs to clarify what’s the intention behind the Shackled Fate essence.
As you mentioned before chained spear skill marks turn to “Gather” and “Buff” after using shackled fate essence. Shackled fate essence description is: “Chained Spear now conjures a Spirit of the Ancients for a short time, that repeatedly casts Chained Spear, damaging, slowing and pulling in nearby enemies.”. I think categorizing it as a buff is totally non-sense. It must be “Gather” and “Control”. I hope they’ll fix it soon.
