I'm working on a fix for this. If I'm right, the items aren't gone. I'm hoping to get them to display right. I'm the meantime just don't delete any categories. Some people have recovered tabs by making a couple new categories.

Why not save an encrypted local copy of that every couple of minutes and use it in case of data loss?

We can't use any systems which really on client side data storage. As soon as we do that, the gates are wide open for cheating in multiplayer.

I'm in the middle of working on this right now. From what I can tell the items are not deleted. I'm still working on fixing the issue though. It also only appears to be an issue if you have changed the order of the categories.

Is there any way to get back the progress I lost? I was set back almot an entire chapter with my new necromancer . :/

I don't know. I haven't heard of any success stories for data recovery from one of these rollbacks yet.

Why don’t they work though?

I would assume any node in any tree would work with the sub skill in said tree.

It just seems like an unnecessary issue?

This one little thing limits the synergy between many nodes in many skills when it just seems like it shouldn’t.

It's just a byproduct of how skills are set up systematically. These target conditionals need to be individually coded for each skill and sub skill which wants to use them. This goes in a mutator for the skill. Some subskills don't even have a mutator because nothing changes their behavior. The two exceptions that I listed have had those properties manually passed down to the subskill mutator so that it works there too. We are looking into a systematic change that will allow us to do this automatically but it's something that will require a fairly significant change to accomplish.

We have identified a new problem that caused a set of rollbacks in the EU region. We shouldn't see any more instances of this specific cause for unintended rollbacks. We are working on a long term fix for it not to become an issue again in the future.

I'm not 100% sure this is the cause of all of the rollbacks in this thread but the timeline fits quite well.

You were right to challenge my assertion. I definitely no longer think this. I tested it off the dummy and went out of my way to make sure I was watching only DoT numbers.

My problem is that my build hits so many times it can muffle the DoT numbers! The yellow numbers from my hits would cover the white numbers and I was missing them. However when I stop attacking and leave the DoTs to just do their thing they're never yellow.

Sorry!

It's all good, I just might be the person who made that system and know it pretty well. :)

idk what that means

More damage to ignited enemies.

It is conditional on your target having the status of being ignited.

More damage to high health enemies.

It is conditional on your target having the status of high health.

I've never seen yellow dots. But it seems like majority of my hits are big and yellow. Does that mean I'm criting every hit??

yes

No. I got linked the thread here, I replied here. Please avoid hyperbole to try and prove a point.

Edit: I literally replied to a thread you posted in earlier today.

Would love if a dev confirmed but I feel like DoTs being yellow is because they're a combination of multiple DoTs, but that's a guess based on observations. My Bladedancer that deals Poison, Bleed, and Ignite, gets yellow DoT damage almost all the time.

I challenge the existence of yellow dot damage numbers.

Do non-conditional nodes (or nodes whose conditions depend on yourself rather than the enemy) from the respective trees apply to each of the subskills listed above? I know you mentioned on Discord that at least for Spirit Wolves they shouldn't apply because Spirit Wolves isn't considered a subskill.

I haven't checked every single node so there is bound to be an exception. However, since Spirit Wolves is not a subskill but rather a minion triggered ability, it does not inherit these things.

Ok, one last question about subskills, do the rules you mentioned also apply to subskills inherited from other sources such as mastery trees? Such as Fire Aura, Shock Nova, Shaman's lightning procs, etc. Do they also affect ailments applied by the skill?

sadly, it depends. Most of the time, probably not

As always this does not pass to equipable skills which might be triggered, e.g. Lightning Blast triggered by disintegrate.

I presume this is because they use their own skill tree unless otherwise stated? And what about the meteors cast by, uhh, black hole (it's been a while since I played, I forget names)? They're an equipable skill, but they explicitly don't use the tree. Should they benefit from black hole's effects?

black hole meteor is the exception, let's call it comet instead and it's like any other normal subskill now

Hi Mike, thanks for the response, I did a lot of the testing for this video and couldn't figure out a pattern after testing Static Orb and Chakram (though I see how Chakram works).

Another thing that is often discussed in the community with subskills is conversion, especially with the new more consistent conversion in 0.9, the way subskills do or don't convert still seems very inconsistent. Is this still intended to be handled on a case by case basis, or should there be a rule for that as well?

Ideally they would all follow a rule. I don't have details on which will or won't be converted going forward yet.

Hi everyone, Mike here from the aforementioned discord text. I'm really sorry about the mass confusion that I've caused, I messed up when I answered that person's question. I checked one of the conditionals and assumed the others worked the same. The Vengeance "while below" node does get passed along.

What I should have said was "stats which are conditional on the status of the target don't get passed along". I know how misleading what I said was because there are conditional effects that are based off of you which do get passed on.

These inconsistencies are definitely a problem, and we will be working to make these rules more obvious, explicitly stated, and consistent so that we can take the guesswork out of making a character.

So, I checked the list, and here is what does and doesn't work. Conditional effects which are based on the status of your target do not get passed to sub-skills. Conditional effects which are based on you do get passed along to sub-s...
