    bane not always spreading all 3 diseases?

    Hello. Im new to scholar and whenever I use bane on a target with miasma, bio and bio II, I notice the nearby enemies don't always have all 3 dots on them. They rather always have 2 of the 3.

    Is there somethimg I should know? Something im doing wrong?

    Noticed that as well.

    According to my trial and error the further the mobs the less they get. if they arent packing close, clipping with each other so to say, they aint getting all dots.

    I'm pretty sure it needs to be within a certain time limit as well. a Bio at 5 seconds wont register.

    At least what i have experienced

    In addition, if you just finished rotation, and immediately Bane the last Dot wont pass cause it didnt registered yet in the system.

    Bio has travel time-- it doesnt register instantly. You might be using bane before all dots have registered. Make sure to wait a second for all 3 dots to pop up before hitting bane . I've never had an issue

    ive noticed this after i normall press bane right after bio was cast. then if i waited a sec and did it, all three would register. its just a timing thing. nothing too big. just gota remember to wait 1 sec after the bio cast

    My rotation with Mobs is Bio 2, Shadow Flare, Miasama, Bio, Bane. (I'll run in and use Miasma 2 if we have a good tank, otherwise i spam ruin 2 or heal people until it's time to refresh). I have noticed that if I don't wait that extra second right after casting Bio, Bane won't spread that DOT. When things start getting laggy, sometimes the last DOT won't fully register in the system and you may be casting Bane too early for that one to spread. Just wait that extra one second before using Bane.

    As with any status effect, there will always be a delay of sorts between cast animation and effect due to the server applying the status. This makes it possible to use a skill like bane "too" quickly. The same issue crops up with swiftcast + raise. You have to wait to actually see the buff/debuff show up on the status bar (or enemy) for the next skill to have the proper effect.

    Easiest way to make sure is to watch above the target. If you see +Bio float up, you're good to Bain.

    if your swiftcasting shadow flare move that after bio. So Bio 2, Miasama, Bio, Swiftcast + Shadow Flare, Bane. This will account for the "travel" time of bio.

    I noticed this too, Bio II and Miasma are applied as soon as you finish casting, Bio takes a second. I wait until I see the + Bio to come up, then Bane....Its a little annoying though.
