Like the tittle says, diabolic ritual only progresses when Demonology warlock spends shards on Hand of Gul’dan, while Destro can progress it with Chaosbolt, Rain of Fire and Shadowburn.
Why we can’t progress ritual with Dreadstalkers, vilefiend, Grimoire felguard? Like what the hell blizzard?
Actually, the diabolic ritual in Demonology works when the warlock uses “damaging abilities,” and each shard used reduces the damage count by one second.
Does the game not consider spells that don’t deal damage directly from the warlock like dreadstalkers etc? I had never noticed it before O__O
I think it is a genuine lack of understanding how specs actually play on blizzard side, in terms of gameplay and serverside codding.
Because they even made the mistakes with implementation of new talents in TWW and hero talents. Like all new spells doesn’t interact with soul leech, and wither that replaces Corruption of Immolate doesn’t generate shields. Because Soul leech is codded not as a mechanic that gives shields from ALL one single target spells/abilities of you and your demon, but as spell that works with a handpicked group of spells, instead of the entire type of spells that is available for warlock to cast.
Wicked Maw - the debuff from Vilefiend and dreadstalkers that increases damage that target takes from shadowflame works the same way, it doesn’t apply the debuff for the entire school of magic, it applies the 20% debuff for selected spells that deal shadowflame damage, and umbral blaze is not affected by the wicked maw because it is not on the list.
