Bane and Vixen's Entrapment Gloves no longer interact and I don't think that's intended.

Previously Bane had the Curse tag so casting it would trigger the Curses in Vixen's gloves. This was a really nice synergy for laying defensive curses down on top of your Bane damage. However now Bane only has the Hex tag, so this interaction is dead.

As it was definitely not an overpowered option, just a handy interaction I propose either Bane gets it's curse tag back, or Vixen's gets a Curse AND Hex interaction.

Seconding. I can't seem to find any information if that's intended behaviour or an oversight, and would really like some clarification on that. Because I'd like to know if I have to rework my favourite build even more than already necessary. :\

Mhmm, I was really enjoying levelling as Bane, and I'd done a test build on standard last week and I was super excited bringing it into this league. I only realized the issue after I got to level 50 today (Which is huge for me I'm a slow leveller). So I feel really deflated now, I don't know how to fix my build to account for something different.

Because Bane is not a Curse, it’s a Hex so it wont proc Vixens, and because any Curse linked to Bane is a trigger and not a self-cast, it does not proc Vixens.

Yeah it totally blows but took me a bit to figure out why.

Bane would need the Curse tag to proc Vixens

Or make the Entrapment proc on Hex, not Curse. The change on the Bane tag was most definetly not unintended, I'm just not sure if they forgot about Vixen's there. :)

Yeah giving Bane the Curse tag would undo some of what they tried to accomplish this league, but giving Vixen's Hex interaction wouldn't break anything.

A GGG response about whether or not this is intended would be great... I am sad :(

I'm sad too buddy.

I was also sad and annoyed because my league starter was an Occultist who uses the Bane/Vixen's mechanic. But now that I've tried Impending Doom linked to a standalone curse, which is then cast to trigger all the Vixen's curses, I'm not very sad anymore. I'm not missing Bane much at all. I'll need to see how well Impending Doom scales but first impressions are good.

My qualms are less about Bane than about Vixen's; I play SSF and don't wanna spend the next half year getting the right enchantment on the next set of gloves...

Meanwhile, someone else has opened up the next thread on the very same topic - so I'm just bumping this one. Out of pure spite, malice and defiance, of course. :D
