Dante's beacon of light is broken

[Tman]

Just a heads up this isn't working - it says it blesses nearby allies with 50% more damage. I placed two barracks next to Dante and no additional damage was inflicted. I tested this with other heros and no discernable difference in damage.

I did notice something when he died - he floats in an etheral shape - wondering if the blessing only happens when he's dead, but damn that would be a crappy power if it only works when he's dead.

This passive kicks in ONLY when Dante dies and is active ONLY while Dante is dead. When he respawns, the passive is deactivated. And no, it is not a crappy power. It has its uses.

From the official wiki:

BEACON OF LIGHT (passive) (1/1/1 hero point): Dante's presence, even when dead, blesses nearby allies granting them 15/30/50% extra damage. Upgrading this skill also allows Dante to move even while dead and thus choose his respawn spot.

Then they should change the description from "even when dead" to "only when dead".

"even when dead" implies that it it active when alive.

You have a point but this is a minor detail. I believe they wrote it in such way to add a little "flavor" to the text.

Are you kidding me? This ability is always active and working correctly

[Tman]

I'd have to disagree that it works when Dante's alive. I put two barracks with ninja's on Sunken Citadel and have played this many times. It's really hard to die purposefully but I did manage a few deaths and can confirm they do a lot more damage when Dante is dead.

It is a passive ability that works only when Dante is dead and only for the duration of his death. On respawn, it is deactivated.

It always works, alive or dead.
On my side there are no problems, soldiers are getting the dmg boost when Dante is nearby getting a blue circle under their feet (again, it works when he is alive or dead):

I did a quicktest on two levels with Dantes skill on lvl 3 and soldiers at lvl1.

Pff...I just noticed that you are right and i feel like an idiot.

Maybe it doesn't work on the assassins when they're cloaked? It should work on all troops regardless of Dante being alive or dead.

They said it may be delayed a few days because they had some issues with the translations.So it may be lunched in the first days of December.
