Issue: Despite attacked creature failing the DC three times within a round, the on-hit imbue will only proc twice at most per round. Uncertain if this relates to every single imbue, but it does affect the electric imbue for certain and possibly the negative (will continue testing for the negative).

My character's a spellsword too, and I've noticed this as well. Here's some screenshots of my combat log. The negative imbue on-hit effect fired twice in a row on the first round, and granted my character hp reflecting the amount of damage dealt to the giant accordingly (full hp at start of combat, hence the "healed 0 hit points" bit). Thereafter, it seems to only apply hp per dmg dealt every other hit where a will save was failed. The spell used for this imbue was Finger of Death.

As per updates found here.

My character currently has 3 attacks per round, at +31/+26/+21as shown in the screenshots above. According to this (screenshot of the relevant chart below), at 3 attacks per round, each of those attacks consists of one flurry. It should be firing off on every one of them - not every second attack.



The "skipping attacks" part shouldn't come into effect until a character has at least 4 attacks per round, at which point it would fire on one attack and skip one attack from the 1st flurry, then fire off two more times in the round for the 3rd attack (2nd flurry) and 4th attack (3rd flurry).

The issue I believe has something to do with 2 factors. Sometimes combat goes faster than 2 seconds between flurries, and in the case of Lightning Imbue, it seems like the timer only kicks in after the animation finishes, and it's ball lightning animation is a long one.

I stand corrected then. But TBH, I have tried every imbue and haven't seen one yet that fires on each attack with 3 APR.

The fact that the imbue procs on hit 1 & 2 in round 1, 1 & 3 in round 2, and 2 & 3 in round 3 is interesting, and I would be curious to know if that patter repeats.

Tested sonic today and it fires on all three flurries.

Im mor 100%, but if the block timer is set after the vex are called, then the lag in applying the vfx (which is longest for lightning) could slow down the timer being applied, but the next flurry wouldn't be delayed. That is, the longer vfx would cause a longer than 2 second delay, meaning the block timer is not through before the next flurry was ready.

It's also interesting that the will save fires on all the flurries, but the healing only on two, leads me to thing it's the application of the vfx. Should be an easy fix.
