Does not stack up while casting Hellfire to damage oneself.

The tooltip says āeach time you deal melee or ranged damage to an opponentā.
I know that its possible to be your own worst enemy, but that does not apply to this trinket it seems.

Thing is it should proc with Hellfire on ourselves. It also reads āEach time you land a harmful spellā. It procs on CoE/CoR on enemies, and dots, as intended.
It doesenāt even proc any channeling damage to anyone! Neither Hellfire nor Rain of fire.
Furthermore wanding procs the melee/ranged attackpower portionā¦??? Alot is off with the trinket currently.
Or, and this may shock you, maybe it actually works like intended and private servers had it wrong
Never set foot on private servers, played all of actual TBC from the first 'til last day however.
Or you take the entire text and understand context?
" [Each time you land a harmful spell on an opponent, you gain 8 spell damage for the next 10 sec., stacking up to 10 times."
Well what happens when your hellfire deals dmg to an opponent? Exactly that.
Nothing. Nothing happens when your hellfire damages an opponent.
Please fix blizzard, we spent a lot of money on those cardsā¦
Neither hellfire nor rain of fire triggers it when ālanding a harmful spell on an enemyā. We donāt need snide remarks and details, itās clearly dysfunctional.
Seed triggers it correctly so itās an issue with channeled spells. Would be great to know if it works with Blizzard or not.
you are correct that it is bugged, you used to be able to hellfire youself and get charges, but it seems to not be the only bugged deck. im using madness on my pala, and only 6 out of the 8 buffs are present, 5% dmg and 35 haste buff both missing
Lmfao
Laughing at you, not with you.
However, it seems as though each enemy hit by a seed explosion counts toward your buff. So that at least makes it a good trinket for trash in itās current state I guess.
ā¦still hoping they fix it for hellfire of course. Filed a bug report.
Are you your own opponent? No.
Is an AoE a direct damage spell? No.
So there is your answer.
It doesnāt work if you hit your opponents with hellfire eitherā¦ Also seed works fine, so no problem with AoE spells.
Each time you land a harmful spell to an opponent. Were did you came up with that direct damage?
I stated early on what others have since commented, letās stick to the trinket and its interactions with spells rather than technicalities in what was written by whom.
It works as intended with dots, casted single target damage spells, drains, non-damage debuffs and AoE such as shadowfury and seed of corruption.
It does NOT work at all with channeled warlock spells that are of aoe-type. Not sure about mages Blizzard.
Neither does it work with the self-caused damage portion of hellfire, annoyingly.
And thatās all there is, regardless of tooltips and whatnot.
We need a fix for Rain of fire ticks, Hellfire ticks and Hellfires damage on the caster.
who mentioned private servers?
As noted it works perfectly with exploding seeds, and even non-damaging spells such as curse of elemets etc.
Thanks for this analysis btw, itās very inconstant indeedā¦
something else that doesnt work is paladin getting crusade stacks from blessing of sacrifice on a hellfire warlock, also bugged
