Thief Venoms and Ashes of the Just do not work on the Harvest Temple boss

[Sejsel.8473]

Damage of condition-based Thief builds in Harvest Temple has been underwhelming for unknown reasons since the release.

It turns out venom utility skills do not apply conditions to The Dragonvoid gadget. The same issue applies to Ashes of the Just on Firebrand. This might affect other gadget bosses as well.

Made a short video showing the issue.

This issue also affects Conjured Amalgamate, at least its arms.

ANet, are you looking into this? Losing Ashes on fb is a significant dps loss so it would be nice if it gets fixed.

[Sejsel.8473]

To give a more thorough list of affected enemies:

In raids and strikes, loosely sorted by importance:

• Harvest Temple Dragonvoid
• Conjured Amalgamate
• Deimos in last phase (below 10%)
• Deimos "chains"
• Hands at Adina
• Sabetha cannons
• Shards at Xera
• Spirit Woods walls
• Gorseval walls
• Samarog spears
• Qadim's lamp

Open world: too many to list, including bosses like Tequatl, Drakkar, and others.

Has this been fixed yet? Or is it still an ongoing issue.

I just checked to make sure, it is still not fixed as of the latest patch.

Ah perfect timing - right after I become a Voidwalker using *power* firebrand. 😄

I realize this is a more difficult thing to handle, but this would be a perfect opportunity to address the fact that these same structure type enemies do not give any stolen skills. This is very relevant in strikes/raids, where the lack of strong stolen skills completely kills the viability of power Daredevil builds. This would be a great moment to set the groundwork for future boss design to allow Daredevil to be playable on structure bosses.
