Issue Summary:
On the patch notes, its listed that you “Fixed an issue where attacks that do Area of Effect damage wouldn’t trigger effect that trigger on Critical Hits - such as Siennas Fireball Staff with a charged attack.” It doesn’t seem that this is the case as long as you are not the host - atleast for Hagbane Swiftbow.
Steps to Reproduce:
Equip a Hagbane Swiftbow with Scrounger
Enter someone elses game
Shoot a Charged Attack at the floor around enemies/into a horde and hope for a crit
Watch it apply only 1 instance of the Scrounger effect (assuming you hit an enemy with the arrow itself) or 0 instances (assuming you hit the floor)
I submitted this bug yesterday - about 16~ hours ago - but I might have submitted it too late for their work day or something. They approved it 5 hours ago which is why its showing up now.
Either way, it seems they have their own plans on how to deal with this, and they don’t want this to be a feature in the game - which I honestly agree with. AoE weapons were already really powerful enough without having Scrounger/Heat Sink to give them nearly infinite ammo.
