Curse on Hit + Arc + Spell totem Fail ?

Hello , i wanted to use vulnerability curse on arc totem , but arc totem just doesnt want to do it . Tooltip i see Applies linked curses on hit , but nothing happens .
I really hope this isnt normall because when i take the time to think the ways people abused cast on ... crit , death hit etc... im just getting sick that this perticular thing doesnt work the way it should .

It is working the way it should. The tooltip is wrong.

I think im going to puke ....
Mark1030 do you feel that i should dispute every thing i see inside the game and go check it on 3rd party sites because some developer felt its not worth their time to correct some tooltip text for years ?
Do you think im wrong to feel angry for wasting ****load of chrome orbs to get the offcolours i need just to see this **** ?

ps Not angry at you , just feel very very fuked here :(

The skill does summon a totem that casts arc that does hit everything ,bit i know what you mean .
So if this doesnt fulfil the rule for the curse on hit to trigger a curse then why in hell is the curse unable to be cast manualy then ?

We cant have this work when it wants by whatever rules it likes . Either the arc totems casts curses on hit , or (fuk logic who needs it) the text is removed, curse on hit doesnt do anything cuz its not suppose to work with totems, and i can cast the curse myself.

ps Why am i conversing about this with other users ? Isnt Bug Reports being monitored by anyone that can actually look at the code and say if the totems are bugged with curse on hit , or the curse on hit gem is bugged and is locking a curse when it shouldnt cuz its not supposed to work with totems ???

Totems have always been separate entities from you, like minions, mines, and traps.
For the gem to trigger the damaging hit needs to come form you, that's how the trigger gems work.

The only reason it shows on the tool tip is because some of the tags make it show up, there are several other combinations of skills and supports that do this even though it dose not work in practice.

Nothing you are reporting here is a bug, that why you haven't had a response from a mod.

Sorry for necroing this old thread. But as I am a necromancer, I can do it :)

So - it actually still does NOT work to link

- spell totem
- arc
- curse on hit
- vulnerability / elemental weakness

so the totem casts arc AND applies curse to enemies?

OR has anything changed since 2014?

Nothing has changed. On your skill bar you will have a totem that casts a curse and a totem that casts arc, but the curse on hit does not apply to spells cast by totems. If you get an item that does curse on hit though, your totems will apply the curse if they hit. Asenath's gloves or a corrupted implict can add curse on hit to gloves.

Thank you very much for the quick reply and the information!
Although, to be honest, that is not a very clean game design. You would actually think this should work. Maybe GGG should either correct the tooltips or correct the way it works.
