Decimating Bolt not doing damage when facing away

Hello,

i recently figured out, that if you use Decimating Bolt on a target and then face away, it wont do damage. But you get the buff still.

Didn’t test for all specs, was destruction at the time. And in Zereth mortis if it matters…

Same thing when you LoS the cast at the end before it impacts the target.

The spell is the most weirdly coded spell I’ve ever encountered and I’ve already seen a lot.

There’s a big advantage to this, though.

Decimating Bolt can actually profit off positive effects after it’s been cast and already in the air, too.

You can pop Dark Soul right after the cast and it will crit. You can even do this with havoc.

Cast DB, Havoc another target and the spell will split… it’s hilariously broken.

Last trick which is quite busted as well, you can abuse that fact when vsing MW Monks that don’t pay attention to their statue.

  • Blast statue to 5% HP.
  • Decimating Bolt and turn away so it doesn’t kill it

Congrats, you now have an easy 5% omegaboost decimating bolt every 45s without setup, as long as the monk doesn’t resummon the statue.
