Purple Flames of Chayula

I'm Reposting this in the Bug Report forum from the Feedback section, though I am unsure if an actual bug is present:


Investing 4 ascendancy points into the AoC's Flames gimmick rewards you with

Lucid Dreaming:
Effect and Duration of Flames of Chayula on You is Doubled

This bumps the measly 5s duration of the purple remnants to a passable 10 second damage buff that does not auto refresh upon gathering more stacks of purple flames.

Perhaps its design intent or simply an oversight but the duration of Purple Flames granted from a Mantra of Destruction-Empowered kill is not affected by this ascendancy node. I expected the 8 seconds to become 16, but was disappointed upon discovering that wasn't the case. If the duration of these Mantra-sourced flames isn't modified by the ascendancy, what about the bonus damage? Is it only the base 7% per stack instead of Lucid Dreaming's expected 14%?

Another inconsistency is that Flames generated by Into the Breach are not affected by Effect Duration modifiers. They are always either 5s or the 10 w/ Lucid Dreaming. Mantra-sourced flames ARE affected by changes to skill effect duration.

It appears the game has made two separate buffs and identically labeled them both "Purple Flames of Chayula" yet they function differently and independant of each other. Are 10 stacks of Mantra's purple flames weaker than 10 picked up as remnants? Does scoring kills with Mantra of Destruction paradoxically worsen an Acolyte of Chayula by overrwriting their Lucid Dreaming-boosted flames with an inferior buff?

Bump for please at least acknowledge any bugs and inconsistencies affecting Acolyte of Chayula ascendancy.

returning to this topic prior to the 0.3 release:

I hope some clarity is given for the functional disparity between Purple Flames generated from Into The Breach remnants vs. Mantra of Destruction, especially in regards to how they relate to an Acolyte of Chayula with the Lucid Dreaming Ascendancy node!

I think I posted similar bug report back in 0.1
