WX-78 can use a mimicked Deconstruction Staff when implanted with a Possessed Shadow Atrium

This is not officially in the game at the moment due to the shadow affinity skill being locked until its cooked more in the beta, but, assuming that the ability of an implanted Possessed Shadow Atrium to use mimicked items will remain, and that Construction Amulets and mimicked crafting ingredients have specific checks that ignore said ability to prevent them from working, I'm inclined to believe this might not be intended.

 

Using the Deconstruction Staff allows duplication of ingredients when combined with a Construction Amulet. This is normally fine, but being able to use a mimicked staff means that half of the cost of doing so is removed, and goes against the notes added for clarification in some of the checks:

-- Do not check ShouldItemMimicBeRevealedFor here, ingredients must be earned.

 

It'd probably be good to address this prior to unlocking the shadow affinity in the live branch, whether this behavior is kept or not.


Steps to Reproduce
  • With WX-78's shadow affinity, implant a Possessed Shadow Atrium.
  • Equip a mimicked Deconstruction Staff.
  • Use it to deconstruct something, and notice that it'll work.
  • Compare that to using a Construction Amulet, or a mimicked ingredient for crafting something, and notice it won't work.



User Feedback


A developer has marked this issue as fixed. This means that the issue has been addressed in the current development build and will likely be in the next update.

Why do we need to patch this out? I find duplicating deconstruction staffs very fun. It's post rifts and requires you to fight shadow pieces two additional times. It also takes a lot of time. If we do consider this too overpowered then why not nerf the speed? We could make it take a day for each mimicreep to spawn.

I think I'm not going to close my game for a long time...
