Basically title. When I cast Malefic rapture, it always caps my Malefic Affliction at 3 stacks exactly, no matter how many times I cast rapture. Can’t seem to get dread touch to work because of this. What am I missing?
Works fine for me. All I can assume is you aren’t talented into it. You might have chosen Death Blossom instead of Dread Touch, so double check that.
It could be that it is working, but there’s a damnable bug for target dummies that de-syncs UA from you. I.E. Your first UA is fine, until it randomly desyncs, so you cast another UA which doesn’t overwrite the first but adds a whole new UA on top. When the first UA times out, it takes your stacks with it, despite still having a UA on the target!
Makes really testing your DPS/rotations a nightmare to truly utilize since in actual combat you aren’t blowing 3+ shards except outside a Taint/Whatever the other talent is call and/or Soul Rot burst window (With Dark Glare added on top if specced into it).
Often times it happens after the initial burst where you’ve downed all your shards just to get the 3 stack only to lose them all because of the desync.
I’ve double and triple checked it, I’m talented into Dread Touch. I even tested by just going to a random mob and only placing UA and casting MR 5 times. It always just caps out at 3 stacks. I don’t get it.
MR only stacks to three. DT is a seperate buff. Do you have a DT weakaura?
I don’t have weak auras set up, but I’m not gaining any additional buffs either
So I figured it out. The debuff, for whatever reason (probably settings) doesn’t show along with the rest of my dots above the enemy’s head. However, it does show up on the target window.
Thanks for mentioning the separate buff. That helped me out a lot.
I am glad you figured it out.
I use a weakaura to track it.
Makes tracking it so much easier.
Glad I could help
You can’t go over 3 stacks; it’s casting Malefic Rapture after you get 3 stacks (so 4 casts total in order to get Dread Touch to happen).
