Hello!
As the subject says, the Warlock's negative blast type bonus damage is not being applied correctly. At least, I don't believe it is. It's only applying the bonus damage when my summon is active. This has been happening since the warlock changes in the Occult Mysteries update a couple months ago. Before the change it was always in effect. Now it seems to be tied to a similar mechanic as the Charisma modifier bonus damage, where you only get the bonus damage if your summon is active. I would just like to know if this is intentional or not, and if it isn't here's your bug report!

Re: Warlock Negative blast damage not being applied
Have you tested to see if the AB and AC debuffs from fire and cold are also applying when you don't have your summon present?

Re: Warlock Negative blast damage not being applied
I've not tested that. Would love to, but no real way to without help (and she's a solo player primarily)

Re: Warlock Negative blast damage not being applied
I'm not sure it's meant to apply extra damage without the summon.
From the wiki:
From the wiki:
This implies that the summon has to be active for the effect to take place, since it is considered life-steal.Essence of Life-Steal: Steal's the target's HP and heals the summon. This adds an extra 1d4 Negative blast damage for every 3 Warlock levels, and heals the summon for 1d4 for every 3 Warlock levels. No healing takes place if the target is immune to negative energy damage.
Re: Warlock Negative blast damage not being applied
As far as I've noticed, the summon needs to be active for any of the additional effects to proc during a blast.
