aspect of bestial

Aspect of bestial Rank 2 and rank 3 dont work, havent worked since they changed the power, and not sure if ever will work given cryptics lack of fixing the problem. I notice every other stacking powers rank 2 and rank 3 work just fine. And yes this has been since they changed it from the bonus to the stacks. essentially if you have rank 2 or rank 3 it will always reset to one instead of the rank number.

    All forms do that now. They used to automatically reset to their set rank when they are lost in combat, but now you have to wait to start building them up. Essentially, ranking up a Form or Defiance is a bad idea if not discouraged, except for Inertial Dampening Field.

    That isn't what he's talking about. Aspect of the Bestial never automatically builds up the second or third stack when ranked up. To my knowledge, it's the only form with this problem.

    Basically, the power functions identically at any Rank.

    yea pretty much, just kind of irks me that this issue has been around since they changed aspect of bestial from percentage to stacks...and all cryptic done has thrown new coats of paint over the flaws. ah well hopefully next patch altho i'm not holding my breath that they'll fix it mainly cause i don't wanna die.

    Why rank AotB when it is easy to gain stack of enrage while using bleeds? Spending points for any stackable form seems like a waist since you can do it in combat. Except of the ones that have stacking delay like Enrage. That form has 4 sec delay before stacking another stack. :P

    BUG: All Forms are supposed to have an internal cooldown in gaining stacks. Most of them do not.

    Just FYI. :D

    And others do, but you can bypass it. For example Form of the Swordsman has a 4 second cooldown, but if you Bleed multiple foes at once (by fully charging Scathing Blade, for example) you'll get one stack for each. Alk Bleeds must be applied by the same tick of a single attack. If they happen at different times, only the first applies Focus, the rest are blocked by the cooldown. I think the same is true of Form of the Tempest and crits, but I've never checked.

    actually the bug i am referring to is the fact that at rank 2 or rank 3 it resets to one stack instead of its rank...kind of irritating if you ask me, when you see every other stack buff work properly except for the one you use. Again maybe next patch it will get fixed but not holding my breath till it does finally get fixed...mainly cause I dont wanna die.
