New weapon implicit "Trigger Level # Flame Dash When You Use a Socketed Skill" Never Triggers

Bug report #2910158920



I've tried socketing several skill gems with and without supports, INCLUDING Flame Fash, and none of them can trigger the implicit.

When you use a socketed skill it triggers the COOLDOWN on flame dash, but nothing actually happens. No character movement, no fire, etc.

I removed my flame dash gem from my armor as well- when it's equipped you have 2 flame dash skills available, and one says "cannot be cast" so it's clearly registering that the weapon provides it, but triggering it does nothing except put flame dash (and all other movement skills) on cooldown.

Update: I've gotten it to work, however, some spells will trigger it, others won't.

Blade vortex, and most movement skills I've tried will not trigger it, however movement skills that don't share a global cooldown (like Whirling Blades) will trigger it.

If there's a caveat on what kind of spells are supposed to trigger it and which ones won't that would be good to know.

It works with certain channeling spells like Cyclone, but aura spells with the same tags don't trigger it.

Thanks for your report, we'll look into it.

What other skills did you try?

Blade vortex, dash, flame dash, plague bearer, and some herald auras (none of those will trigger it) and perhaps that's by design, but it just seems like any skill that isn't marked "channeling" that has some kind of duration doesn't work. Switching stances with blood and sand wasn't working, but channeling skills like Cyclone will trigger it once (right on the initial cast). Toggling auras didn't seem to trigger it, and plague bearer is a kind of weird in-between, not quite a skill not quite an aura, and same with blade vortex. you cast it once and it has a continued duration effect.

Flame Dash not triggering Flame dash makes sense, since the first use would trigger the cooldown, likewise for the other movement skills I tried (minus whirling blades which works because it doesnt put flame dash on CD)

I didn't do a ton of in-depth testing before I gave it to a friend, but he confirmed it doesn't work with blade vortex for him, and that if you use it with whirling blades it basically just casts flame dash and "stuns" you for a second while the whirling blades animation completes.

I assume it has something to do with cast time, but some skills will do:

SKILL -> FLAME DASH -> cooldown

and others go:

FLAME DASH -> SKILL -> cooldown

Example: strike skills trigger the dash and then execute the strike when you arrive. things like whirling blades trigger DURING the flame dash and produce no real additional effect. things like cyclone start the channel and the flame dash simultaneously, and the channel continues throughout.
