Shukrani + SB Phantasm

Does shukrani shapshot when phantasm is cast or improve stacking damage dynamically when you enter spirit realm with phantasms active? Or something else?

According to Maxroll

  • The 100% Damage bonus while in the Spirit Realm from Shukrani’s Triumph is an additive damage buff, meaning its effect is additive with other buffs such as Pierce the Veil.

→ Mechanics section

That doesn’t quite answer his question, it’s missing the second bit of necessary information, but the other piece of info you need is also from the mechanics section of that maxroll guide:

All damage buffs are dynamically calculated for each tick during the accumulation phase with the exception of additive buffs like Sacrifice Provoke the Pack or Big Bad Voodoo Slam Dance, which are snapshot upon Phantasm cast.

Since Shukrani’s is an additive buff as you pointed out, this means it should also be snapshot on cast.

…and shukrani damage buff does not work correctly for Phantasms (from maxroll guide):

Be aware that due to a bug Phantasms spawned while you are in Spirit Walk will not accumulate any damage until the effect ends, so avoid this as much as possible.
