    A few people have noticed, but don't speak up for fear of it being a bug and not a feature, since it isn't mentioned in the power description at all.

    Remember the good old days when you could downvote an ill-advised post to make it invisible? Sweet memories...

    Edit your post to delete your comments before the devs see it or they will likely "fix it" like they did She Hulk

    I like how this character had two skills that did not work as described, yet we made a big deal over the one that negatively affected the players, while we try to hide the one that benefits us.

    Fix her BLUE!
    Green? What green? I ain't never met no green, No siree!

    I never actually noticed until it was mentioned. I am a terrible, terrible mpq player... just mindlessly matching stuff.

    Nah, you've just reached that MPQ zen state. It's good for you.

    Perhaps not everyone reads every post on the character discussion pages, but it's definitely not a new thing. I'm definitely a supporter of 5 points in green skill. Makes SW not just a purple AP battery, but also a slightly targeted AP battery also(Especially easy if you aim at the sides/corner/have friendly tiles like her own blue ability). And in case no one bothered to read the SW thread, I will repeat it here, 5 points in green can destroy enemy charged tiles(you cannot destroy your own friendly charged tiles) to get double of the charged tiles too. A total maximum of 25 AP (1+4*2*3=25) assuming you destroy 4 charged tiles.

    her purple isn't working as advertised either, because the stun will often hit the guy that is then killed by its damage...
    And the blue always gravitates to sides or corners which makes it's effect a lot less spectacular even if it survives the countdown.

    All skills that deal both stun and damage always apply stun before damage. This is actually pretty useful in most instances, as it helps to stop effects that activate on damage (Hulk, Captain Marvel, etc.).

    However like you say, when the stun is applied randomly, it's just an annoyance. Part of the reasons why Doc Ock is such a trash character.

    Oh well it was good while it lasted. I knew someone would eventually come on here and publicize it. Might as well enjoy it for the next couple of weeks until the devs fix it. *Sigh*

    I thought charged tiles were neutral. They aren't?

    Hi all,

    There is currently a bug with Scarlet's Witch's Hex Bolt. The ability is generating double AP from tiles she destroys. This is unintended and a fix is incoming. A small patch is planned to go out around the end of day (EST) today.

    Thanks!

    we blame you! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    This must be a new D3 nerf land speed record. 24 hours from Phaserhawk opening mouth to nerf being implemented. I'm going to call the nerfed ability Phaserhawk Bolt from now on.

    Wow, the OP was up 1 DAY and they announce a fix...

    How about we all complain about SW's blue constantly burying itself in the corners for a whopping return of 2-3 purple and get them to fix that within 24 hours?

    Oh wait.
