View Full Version : Damage in Cursed Woods
Hi,
last 3 curses in Cursed Woods state that all damage done is greatly reduced except for Nature/ Shadow/ Cosmic damage.
When selecting one of the last three curses, some procs work while others do not. For instance, the procs of the Sb Shield and Kraken Blade work, but the proc of the Blood Artifact does not. Neither the Sb Shield nor the Kraken Blade has an elemental proc (verified by using Cursewood gems and confirming with a dev), so they are considered a normal damage source. Why do they work while the Blood Artifact does not?
The curse description does not specify "only weapons" or "selected items"; it explicitly states "all damage done." While the Blood Artifact proc may not be particularly useful with a 20x stack, its damage could be significant in the upcoming Arcane Cursed Woods. Could you please make it work with last 3 curses too?
Thanks!
Tip for players: Do not use Nature/Shadow/Cosmic damage elixirs during 16x-20x stack tries, they do not work with sb procs, save your tokens.

What I believe you're seeing is just the effectiveness of those specific proc's mixed with the debuffs from the curses. When you say the Blood Artifact does not proc, are you saying it never procs, or are you saying when it procs, it's not effective?

Active proc of Blood Artifact deals 0 damage, while active procs of Kraken Blade and Sb Shield do deal damage with 1 of last 3 curses picked. None of these three items have elemental damage procs, so I thought all of them should be dealing some damage.

Same with star beast daggers proc they deall 100% damage to mobs in cosmic curse woods shadow curse wood and nature cursewood even tho they have no elemental damage that i know of and nothing in the description about elemental damage anyways i feel like it was intended cause i was able to complete 20 curses without buying elemental set for each curse

Yep the Blood artifacts proc does 0 dmg even with blood armor and other buffs. Boss ability is like this as well it does 0 dmg. The description of the curses make it sound like an additional dmg reduction to the player not a 100% negated dmg.
All other dmg reduction curses can remain unused and both of these dmg sources still do 0 dmg.

Pre-thanks for ruining the only viable way to do 18/20 stacked curses when they remove ele damage from sb procs @dmqp -__-

Iam pretty sure its intended tho not many can obtained elemental sets hell i dont even use any of them in order to clear elder wood maps solo or solo ebp hedo. Ps also think elemental mythic sets should drop from bosses or mobs in elder woods instead being in locked crates

SB procs have always had 0 "ele damage." I mentioned in my post that the dev confirmed this.
The last 3 curses state that 'all damage is greatly reduced except for elemental damage'. This means we should deal damage from everything, the normal damage is just greatly reduced while damage from elemental procs (blood weaponry) is not reduced. This is why SB weaponry still deals damage from procs... not because they have "ele damage," but because their damage is greatly reduced, not completely removed.
I was just pointing out that some sources of normal damage (Kraken Blade/SB Shield in my tests) deal damage, while others (like Blood Artifact, fumigator bracelet) deal 0 damage. It would be great if all damage sources follow description of last 3 curses and deal reduced damage. That is the whole point of my thread. Some items deal damage while other do not, to me it is a bug and that is why i have reported it.
Frankly, in the upcoming Arcane Cursed Woods, the artifact's damage would be helpful, so I hope they will look into it.
