Hadar's Grasp not procing Creeping Death?

Why. Just why. That's a huge portion of DPS lost.

    Cool. Didn't notice that one. Because I used to use harrowstorm for prone as my main CC which was fire damage and didn't do creeping anyway. But now our only other CC encounter (worth a damn) is broke too. Super!

    Add it to the list of SW bugs for the devs to throw in the trash and not read and LOL at us SW who waste our time sending them. Yay!

    Is it because you're not reapplying warlocks curse after HG consumes it? Did you test on something under the effects of TT. Note I believe HG consumes WC when if WB is on the target much like SS.

    I tested it out and this is right:

    Curse > Haders Grasp......procs creeping death only on the first tick that consumes the curse.
    Curse > Haders Grasp > Recurse....procs and stacks creeping death on all the HG ticks.

    Unfortunately recursing doesn't work for Dreadtheft alone because you'd have to break beam to recurse.
    Dreadtheft is a little weird with regards to creeping death.

    Curse > Dreadtheft.... normal curse is consumes, get usually just 2 stacks of CD
    Warlocks Bargain > Dreadtheft... does NOT proc CD, at all
    Curse > Warlock Bargain > Dreadtheft..... stacks the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> out of CD (up to 50 to 70 stacks)
    Warlock Bargain > Curse > Dreadtheft......also stacks CD like above
    TT Curse > Dreadtheft....stacks CD similar to WB+Curse or Curse+WB > Dreadtheft. No normal curse needed.

    Oddly, WB is needed to converts normal curse into a nonconsumable version of normal curse. And TT can be thought of as a WB+normalcurse rolled into one, in terms of proc CD for encounters where curse is consumed.

    BTW Curse+Warlock Bargain or Warlock bargain+Curse or TT alone works the same for other curse-consuming necro encounters like Hader's grasp. Converts normal curse into a nonconsumable curse so there is no need to recurse after HG.

    Ye, I figured this out a few days ago, just couldn't be bothered to repost.

    Just need to do curse > wb > HG and people will melt.

    Well that's a work-around, I guess. This still needs to be fixed though. Can't always do WB first, especially if you have to CC that CW before they get you, etc.
