Buff steal vs Serpent
Just tested Ebony Maw (6 r1 unlevelled, awakened) against my Serpent (7 r2 sig 20), in practice mode.
Was just curious, how good this matchup can be.
After many attempts realized that it is practically unplayable.
Ebony Maw can steal power gain buffs and nullify Fury, which in theory should be awesome against Serpent. But in reality after each heavy and power gain steal Serpent got cullforce charge.
Doesn't sound like a big deal? Well, it is. At 8 charges Serpent starts doing burst dmg with pierce passive.
With constant buff steal he gets to 8 charges very quickly.
Now to my question. Is that even supposed to happen? In Serpent's kit it is mentioned, that he gets cullforces charges when his buffs are failed by ability accuracy and immunity, but nothing about buff steal mechanics.
No mentions of power steal either.
Is that normal that he gains charges after Ebony Maw steals Serpent's power gain?
