    Serpent Lantern

    I was expecting Viperia to be made into an Alert Boss TBH! Kinda Dissapointed!

    More fun than doing Serpent Lantern, it hasn't aged well and drags for too long even if you start Roleplaying as a Metal Gear Solid character

    Bug
    Lead Tempest isn't triggering Concentration with the first condition ("Whenever one of your Ranged attacks is partially maintained")
    Truth be told, I only noticed it now so I don't know if it's been that way since the latest Concentration patch, or if it just borked again. The few other powers I tested are working fine

    Edit:
    Bug
    When you use Epidemic to destroy the Python Tanks during Serpent Lantern, they aren't counted

    Can't wait to blow hours trying to get python tank kills to register for a shot at the new style.

    FYI it isn't just Epidemic; non-target AOEs in general have been an issue for me (such as lead tempest). I'd recommend avoiding them and sticking with single target powers for that section until it's fixed.

    Does the Viperia Hair 2 only drop from the reward box at the end of Serpent Lantern, or can Viperia herself drop the hair?

    Only from the box at the end.

    Bug:
    Blight Touch is not utilizing Brawler spec buff SETUP.

    I have both r3 Ego Blade Annihilation and r3 TK Lance. Additionally, I have r3 Ego Blade Weaponry and Toxic Blades PVD. While Toxic Blades PVD is proccing SETUP, Blight Touch's REND is not "spending" SETUP.

    Bug: If you Defeat Viperia by Banishing her with the Crystals and the Snake Statues, you don't get a Drop Bag!

    You don't get a reward -period

    That's it, you banished her with the Loot


    I ran Serpent Lantern with two characters after the update 1 DPS and one TANK which I completed just now!

    The DPS had enough damage to Brute force its way and defeat her without the need of the statues (only 2 rotations) and got the Reward Bag!

    TANK on the other hand due to low dps input, was stuck with 3 Rotations of using the statues, which Banished her and got NO Rewards at! No gold circle, nothing! Just an empty room


    Additional Note: The Serpent Mage's Baneful Banishment is an insufferable mechanic

    I thought she was IMMUNE during the statue phase. It had been many years since the last time I ran Serpent Lantern. So, when I ran it recently (about 2 weeks ago) I did the statues. Took me 3 or 4 rotations and I did NOT get a reward circle. Which makes me wonder that the reward circle isn't popping up if you take more than 2 rotations of statues to take down Viperia now.

    Thoughts?
