Aura of Emptiness problem

[Ibunubi]

<DIV>Even though this spell now delivers Disease based damage ... I've found the spell itself is still checked by Poison.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I noticed while casting, if I got a resist I was given the message "You tried to poison ____ with Aura of Emptiness...", and when I landed it I was given "You have dealt ___ disease damage." I thought it was just a mistake in messages until I noticed a resist on Shadowed Pyre saying "You tried to disease..."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>On a side note ... are Devastations not supposed to stack? Because they currently do not...</DIV>

<DIV>It does do disease damage as it as well as the pyre line and absolution will land on lockjaw who is poison immune.  As far as devastation I thought they were supposed to stack but I am a one man warlock in my guild atm.</DIV>

Devastation stacks like reactives do; when one runs out the next one starts.  So... Devastation Ticks Devastation Stuns 2nd devastation starts ticking 2nd devastation stuns Actually works pretty cool you can chain stun the mob for 8 seconds...of course chaining into dark nebula/thwart/vulian intrusion.

i had a problem last night with poison immune mobs resisting aura of emptiness saying i was trying to poison them and if it did land i would get the you disease line as well

<P>I dont think one devastation goes off after the other since i cant find anything about it in my combat logs.  I can however watch my devastation go and then another warlock cast it and mine seems to stop ... so it goes off 2-3 times and then nothing and i never get the stun icons in the maintained buffs window.  this only seems to happen when im in the same group as another warlock, but if im in a different group i dont ever seem to have a problem ... and i seriously doubt we are randomly haveing that good of timeing ... i think they are both going off at the same time from watching the monster's graphics.</P> <P>Pre expansion it would tell you that this spell would not take affect if you tried to cast it on a monster/s that already had devastation on it/them if you had a lower version of devastation, but if your devastation was higher it would overwrite the lower version of devastation even if the warlocks were in different groups. </P> <P>On this chaining idea i have cast devastation after another warlock casted devastation both warlocks in the same group and i drew aggro even though it was the only spell i cast ... made me think i was getting aggro for both devastations but wasnt showing up in combat logs as doing anymore damage.</P> <P>an encounter aoe ... that is a contradiction of terms.  encounter would be a group or linked spell and aoe would be AREA OF EFFECT (keyword AREA).  If it effected the target and then aoe'd would be pretty neat kinda like blaze use to be an aoe from the targetted monster.  or it could be a group spell that so it would work with absolution, devastation, and nebula better.</P> <P>aura of emptiness before LU16(i think) only poison spells could make it proc and anyone could proc it(necros), but now it seems to proc from any kind of spell cold, magic, poison, or disease but only i can proc it, and all the ticks with dots can proc it.  seems to be getting changed but still has some issues.  every poison resistant monster i have fought has resisted it but then ALL ( you know the other 2 ) my other disease spells seem to land.  While fighting lockjaw i noticed it would land but wouldnt do any damage.</P><p>Message Edited by stoggy on <span class=date_text>11-30-2005</span> <span class=time_text>07:44 AM</span>
