[Submitted 68654] Levelling Moon Beams and Root are not consuming pooled XP at the expected speed

1 Moon Beams and Root are not working on targets consistently.
2. Yes, over 95% of the time the spells do not draw xp from the pool.
3. n/a
4. Both spells are not drawing xp and succeeding well over 95% of the time. It has been inconsistent as well. For example, I received 2 gains with moon beams in necropolis barrens targeting ghosts. Repeated just after and no gains now for days. Root same pattern, gains this morning, and zero all day. Had 16 mill xp in the pool, both spells are set to gain. This is regardless of target, or time of day in SOTA.
5. It seems that friends with lower moon beams and root have success. Both of mine are in the 70-80% range. Take my character out for a spin and see for yourself--I don't know how to describe it any better.

 

Confirmed - both my skills are at ~ 40 and were often not consuming pooled XP and when they did, it seemed to only consume a tiny amount even with a very large XP pool.

At this level I expect both to be increasing much faster and consuming much more XP when used.

I tested in Greymark Forest against some boars and Elves.

I tested on a practice dummy, and moon beams @ level 42 consumed 81 XP from my pool of 48 million xp. Root @ level 42 consumed 161 XP.

 

Just want to add that their seems to an inverse correlation on spell success as the skill level rises. Was with friends in Soltown raising moon beams easily on a target. I did the same 20-30 times and no spell success, no increase in level whatsoever. It was easier to gain previ0usly. I had not tried these spells in some time.

Root appears to be fixed. Gains and success on casting worked in Solace Bridge Outskirts and Cabalist Siege (Aerie).

No change on Moon Beams--still not succeeding and drawing from pool as it should.
