Erroneous Righteous Fire Visibility/Effect

How's this for unusual gem behavior?

Taking an active Righteous Fire gem out of an equipped socket (or unequipping the item that has the active Righteous Fire's gem socketed in it) while Righteous Fire is running will:

A. Disable Righteous Fire's ability to deal damage to nearby enemies (of course).
B. Continue showing you the Righteous Fire ring/animation as though it's still active (wait, what?).
C. Continue burning you for 90% of your maximum life per second (yikes!).

Moreover, if you now RE-EQUIP the Righteous Fire gem, the outer ring/animation (i.e., the outer-most circle that displays Righteous Fire's effective offensive radius) will DISAPPEAR entirely but the skill will INSTANTLY resume dealing damage to nearby enemies again (without you needing to recast/re-enable it). To reiterate this point, you will now resume killing nearby enemies but won't have the outer circle around you to illustrate how far your Righteous Fire's radius can actually reach.

Now, once you've unequipped and re-equipped the active Righteous Fire gem, the ONLY way to ever see Righteous Fire's outer ring again while it is active is to remove the burn effect from your character (e.g., change maps, consume a "Dousing" flask, etc.) and recast Righteous Fire once more.

Lastly, however, if you unequip the entire weapon or armor piece that the Righteous Fire gem was socketed into while the Righteous Fire gem is still in it, you will get the outer ring back (despite no longer having the Righteous Fire gem on your character). BUT if you take the gem out of the weapon/armor FIRST (i.e., BEFORE unequipping the weapon/armor itself), and THEN unequip the weapon/armor it was in originally, you will NOT get the outer ring back -- only the inner ring's animation will (erroneously) remain despite the gem no longer being offensively active or equipped.

For clarity's sake, succinct example steps to reproduce the above are as follows:

"
1. Equip a helm.
2. Equip a Righteous Fire gem to the helm.
3. Step out of Lioneye's Watch into the Coast.
4. Cast Righteous Fire.
5. Unequip the Righteous Fire gem from the still-equipped helm.
5a. Notice the visual effect of Righteous Fire hasn't disappeared.
5b. Notice the damage per second caused by Righteous Fire is still active.
5c. Notice you are no longer dealing damage to enemies around you.
6. Re-equip the Righteous Fire gem to the helm.
6a. Notice you are now damaging enemies around you with Righteous Fire again.
6b. Notice you no longer can see how far your Righteous Fire can reach.
7. Unequip the entire helm (with the Righteous Fire gem still in it).
7a. Notice the full visual effect (with outer ring) has returned.
7b. Notice you are still taking damage per second from Righteous Fire.
7c. Notice you are still not dealing damage to surrounding enemies.
8. Re-equip the helm with the Righteous Fire gem still in it.
8a. Notice you lost the outer ring of Righteous Fire showing you its effective radius.
8b. Notice you are still taking damage per second from Righteous Fire.
8c. Notice your Righteous Fire has regained its automatic damage to surrounding enemies.


Please let me know if there's any additional information that could help, and thanks for all your hard (read: AWESOME) work! <3
