This thread is designed for us (the gamers) to help assist the developers in fixing key bugs/issues with the HoX, so we can get these problems fixed faster.

Please keep all comments related to the topic, either based on bugs or concerns with HoX gameplay. I'm trying to keep the list as realistic as possible, with actual bugs and valid concerns for gameplay problems. Try not to go overboard on new ideas/suggestions, as we need to focus on getting the current issues fixed first.


Reported Bugs:

I've labeled bugs in priorities. I realize some of the priorities might not be the same for all ppl, but I'm trying to put the most critical ones up top to hopefully be noticed first.

High priority bugs:
*NEW* after August 19th patch.
* Body and Spirit Wrack- is not giving any mana to the Herald after a killing blow.

* I eat your heart- No longer spawning a blood pit every time after a minion kill, Also- sometimes not healing the Herald after a minion kill.

* Thundering Flames - Does not silence like it states. (More thoughts on this feat are listed in the feedback section.) - debatable, if working as intended

* Roots of Hell - It does not give you the same knockback resistance as full plate.

* Insanity of Xotli - Do to this being ignored... I bump it up to High priority. When going to DE or AoX form this, when feated, sometimes drains stamina from the HoX instead of enemies, unlike what is intended.

Medium priority bugs:

* Flame Tongue - randomly does not add a new (or additional) buff, even when HFB does hit and damage the target(s). (Isn't the application supposed to be 100% of the time?) [Possible fix coming on the 27th]

* Hellfire Feast - reported to not return the proper amount of mana. (debatable)

* Jammed spells - Spells seem to get "jammed" sometimes, if you cancel them right as they're finished being casted. Locking out other spells until you recast that first spell again. Ex: casting HFB, interrupting it right at the end, then trying to cast another spell and it won't work until you cast HFB again to "clear" it.

* Fiery Enervation - states on the tooltip it inflicts fire damage, but it doesn't. Is the tooltip misleading or is it supposed to deal fire damage along with the debuff?

* Wrath of Xotli - not adding as much as it is supposed to? (For me, it doesn't appear that the tooltip is updated at all, but unconfirmed if the actual damage works.)

* Itemization bug - Some T1 HoX gear is giving 2h-blunt damage, instead of 2h-edged. [Fixed]

* Itemization bug - T2 HoX-required weapon set is a dagger/tome, which is useless for HoX.

* Exultation of Xotli - Reports of it not increasing the damage of the majority of combos. [Unconfirmed- I have not witnessed this problem]

* Hellfire Breath - Reports of not being able to hit large mobs with it (ex: Mammoths)

* Hellstep - Reports of getting stuck sometimes after using Hellstep, and not being able to move or turn your character. The only way to fix it is dying or relogging.

* Hell on Earth - Reports of friendly players nearby getting the slowing effect on them, and not just the caster.



Low priority bugs:

* Polymorph bug - When demon form fades off, your hair style changes and the weapon remains offset to the demon model. Some armor types also change colors. (Workaround: Swapping your helm/sword off and on will temporarily fix it.)

* Flame Cleave - does not have a graphical effect as the tooltip would make it out to have.

* Desecration - doesn't appear to update the tooltip with the proper cooldown, yet the effect itself appears to work.

* Polymorph bug - When exiting demon form while running, the animation doesn't re-adjust back to human form, and the character skates until you stop moving.

* Graphical bug - Reports of a graphical fire ring remaining around the player after dying in demon form and res'ing back up. Sometimes the same thing happens, but with your hands on fire. (Workaround: Can be fixed by relogging.)

* Combos lag - sometimes the animation repeats itself when the combo has already been completed. Note: does not seem to affect game play, and overall damage, as long as one knows they he/she can move to cancel this 2nd animation. [Possible fix on Aug 19th]

Possible Discrepancies or Unconfirmed reports:

* Weapon sheathing - Random occurances of the weapon being sheathed in combat, after casting a spell such as Hellfire Breath. This can potentially hinder being able to use combat maneuvers and combos properly while in battle.

* Combo issue - After recent patches, it seems like combos are sometimes doing no damage (completely missing), reporting no dodges/parries, and the target is in fact right in front of you on your client. Nothing displays in the combat log either, as if you were swinging in the air. (Fixed- combat log now reports dodges and parries)

* Pillar of Infernal Flame - fails to damage nearby enemies when the target dies before it goes off. Sometimes it randomly does not hit any enemies, regardless of the target being alive. (Mixed reports on this being fixed or not. - still an issue)

* Polymorph bug - Demon form (or possibly buffs?) wearing off will cancel a combo being setup. (unconfirmed- from my experience the combo completes)

* Crimson Shield - may not work properly? Reports of the tooltip value not equalling the actual value it absorbs per hit.

* Iron Shield - may not work properly? (reports of it working fine for some people)

* Buff cooldowns - Reports of buff cooldowns randomly being set to an hour or more. Seems to sometimes occur when logging in. It can be fixed by re-zoning.

* Combo scaling - Some combos don't seem to scale damage as well as other combos (possible bug maybe with them?)ex. PoBW, and hell strikes



Generic Bugs: (possibly effects every class):

* Combos canceling - There is a random bug that affects all melee classes, where you hit the combo and it immediately keeps canceling it. [Still an issue] (Possible fix?)

* Graphical bug - Sometimes the character goes bald while hidden (low priority)

Recent Fixes:
* Undying Glory of Xotli - (fixed) buff is removed when zoning.
* Burning words- Tooltip description fixed
* Purge - is not working as specified? [Working as intended, tool tip just recently changed to reflect what the spell does Aug. 19th]
* NO MORE DAMAGE TO DEAD BODIES!!!!.. Fixed Aug. 19th

Upcoming Fixes:
