Yom Rune Doesn’t Count as Ultimate for Druid – Fails to Trigger Vehement Brawler's Aspect and passive Cataclysm

PC Bug Report
1

When using the Yom Rune (Petrify) as a Druid, even if you have already unlocked and specced into the Petrify Ultimate skill in your skill tree, the game does not treat it as an Ultimate skill activation.

As a result, the following bugs occur:

  1. Vehement Brawler’s Aspect does not trigger, even though Yom is supposed to cast Petrify.
  2. The Cataclysm passive (which should activate on Ultimate use) is not triggered.
  3. Any bonuses from Druid passives or items that depend on using Petrify (e.g., increased Critical Strike Damage after Petrify) are also not applied.
  4. The non-Ultimate skill cooldown reset effect from level 5 Petrify does not trigger when using Yom.

In short, Yom Rune is casting Petrify visually, but internally the system does not recognize it as a true Ultimate skill, leading to a cascade of missed interactions and passives.

Please investigate this issue, as it heavily impacts Druid builds that synergize around Ultimate skill activations and Petrify bonuses.

There’s all sorts of problems with runes and Druid spells.

There’s a rune (Que) that casts Earthen Bulwark. If I have the aspect that adds 6 seconds to the duration it says it will be 3 seconds long on the rune text but does actually lasts for 9 seconds. However if I have Que socketed then sometimes when I cast Earthen Bulwark manually it doesn’t make me unstoppable… I get frozen in place in some fights… and other times it works like expected.
