Talk:Eldritch decay (ground effect)

Hey, @Neokowloon i know you are not on good terms with me for whatever reason. I hold no grudge towards you so lets talk about the mechanic. As far as i know, and i havent seen any evidence of this not being the case so far, Madness Propagators dont drop Eldritch Decay on death under any circumstances. So can you please agree with me that this is the case? Also the Elder Tentacle attack doesnt spread Eldritch Decay either. The temporary ground left behind is purely visual and deals no damage. Can we please just get along? Iam not interested in fighting you and i only want to improve the PoE-Wiki with the knowledge that i have. --Divinityy (talk) 21:19, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Madness Propagator in Elder arena. It lived long enough, self exploded (need to dig out video from shelf) or killed by player (need to meet condition one "live long enough"), so it still an "on death effect". The bug that fixed in 3.2.2c, is exactly this, Madness Propagator keep spawning and then keep explode to create ground effect (some people like to keep their corpse and watching the arena without re-spawn), this behaviour is ez to get video proof.

As I said, Elder Tentacle part is forked from The Elder, which if you can get prove, feel free to remove the misinformation from The Elder article and from this. Apparently Engineering Eternity's video shown it is visual only, but Red Elder frag is not that expensive to buy and record a new video.

What i concerned is POE wiki is full of not cited content which sometimes dubious , for example new Atlas mechanics , quite a lot of content in the wiki look like speculation grade. Neokowloon (talk) 21:44, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes i totally understand this. but when they spread the ground (you said self exploded or killed by a player) they dont die. so its no on death effect. i dont know the exact time it takes for them to drop the ground, but it defenitely isnt on death. I dont know how i can prove this to you because there just isnt any evidence of madness propagators dying and leaving the degen behind because of said death.

I cant really record videos right now, but i bought a normal (now red tier elder?) set. I took some screenshots of my char standing on the ground and no debuff icon is visible. i will upload a picture shortly. --Divinityy (talk) 21:50, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

This video is from incursion league and doing the challenge "Defeat Elder after allowing Eldritch Decay to drop 5 times". However, i need time to view it frame by frame. Neokowloon (talk) 21:53, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
