FYI: Dregs is broken

For anyone how missed the post a few days ago: Dregs is bugged.

If you ever find yourself speeding the same greater rifts over and over, and sometimes a rift just feels really hard suddenly, check your buff bar. Chances are Dregs has broken and you aren't getting the unique affects.

So far I haven't found the cause, or how to fix it without ending the rift. Given how massive the damage loss is, consider that is possibly faster just to abandon the rift and start a new one rather than continue.

I noticed this today too. Seems to happen randomly and it only works again in a new GR. Has to be a bug.

Same, sometimes it works only at the start of the rift as well

I have not felt this at all, I feel very consistent on my speeds. What class/build are you playing?

Inna monk. It breaks very frequently. Like, on the order of at some point every few greater rifts randomly.

Doesn't work for me. I even tried leaving the grift and wandering around the open world. It remained broken until the grift was closed.

Honestly between this and the water ally bug, seems like maybe Monk is just going to be a headache this season. Unless they fix some of these issues.

What’s the water ally bug?

Basically a lot of people are saying they feel different this season. I don't have the build running yet, but the Inna's allies are on a hard timer so if you pop the ability they have the chance to immediately end and spawn a new ally that just stands there. From all of the comments it sounds like it didn't used to be this way, but I can't confirm it.

Try using the poison damage CDR gem as Inna. It feels super smooth, you just need to have an Inna weapon that rolled base damage as poison

WD Arachyr I have no problems

because of the way the stacks reset you can dash into an elite and it instantly melts or you stand there spamming serenity hoping not to die before they do. My speeds might be consistent but it never feels consistent

Is it broken on all platforms?

Unknown. But it for sure happens on PC.

Now OP has made me aware of it, I think it's definitely happened to me a few times on Switch. I would assume that spans across the other consoles. Noticed only when pushing, and not on speed GRs.

I only use it on pushing, and this must be why I sometimes have a horrible time completing.

Never happened to me but that's because I'm still chasing fire damage or % DMG plus the stacking pet damage. I have wasted so many embers chasing this combo

From my playing it is broken with water ally but not fire. Would be interesting if anyone else could confirm this.

The part that pisses me off is that I haven't seen anything about this in the PTR, which suggests this was something they broke between the end of that and season start.

This explain why I did a 127 rift in 5 minutes... Then couldnt kill anything in a 128

Is Dregs with pet dmg even worth using with this bug? What do you guys think

Platform? I have not experienced this at all. Playing on Xbox One.

Is this on a specific layout of dregs or all variants?

I noticed some rifts I’m super slow in killing I’m on ps5

Also is it just broken with water spirits? I just used fire and didnt seem to bug out. I am not a big fan of fire though. It hits hard but the cooldown is so long I feel like I do no dmg until it's up. With water the attack is longer so I kill more mobs and it seems to hit harder for me while it's not on active too. I must be doing something wrong. I wish the water pets didn't bug out so much ;(

Never!!! I will finish this rift if it kills my character over and over again!
