Torturer talent is broken - 08/08/18 12:37 PM
From the tooltip description in game:
"With Torturer, certain statuses caused by you are no longer blocked by Magic or Physical Armour, and their duration is extended by one turn. Burning, Poisoned, Bleeding, Necrofire, Acid, Suffocating, Entangled, Death Wish, and Raptured Tendons are affected by this talent."
Two issues.
(1)
The part about the statuses "no longer blocked by armor" is broken. It does not work - those statuses are still blocked by armor. The clips below shows my archer taking Torturer, and then I try applying Poisoned, Burning, or Bleeding status on the enemies. Their armor blocks the statuses as usual.
(2)
The other issue is that Acid, Suffocating, and Raptured Tendons should not even be listed here because they were never blocked by armor to begin with. With or without Torturer you can always apply those regardless of enemy armor, unless the enemy has immunity. In fact, the definition of Acid is "Destroys Physical Armor each turn" and Suffocating "Destroys Magic Armour each turn", so by definition they cannot be blocked by those armors.
