Hello, i already created a ticket about this issue, but i’ll also post it here.
After testing and confirming a problem with Spinning Crane Kick stacks, i was very accurate in the end as more Wind walker Monk players and a couple of streamers also shared the same problem so i went into details.
After testing on the 4 target dummies for a while, i noticed that not only you are unable of getting 4 or 5 stacks while using Storm, Earth and Fire, but it actually SUBTRACTS your 4th stack instead as well, meaning your normal aoe rotation takes you from 1, to 3 stacks, to 4 stacks, then TAKES AWAY 1 or 2, and instantly drops you to 3.
This is 100% a bug, and it DOES affect the actual damage of Spinning Crane Kick spell, both in action and on the amount that appears on the spell’s tool top while stacking it.
It’s an insane handicap to have to deal with this, PLEASE for the love of god fix this soon as it massively affects monk players, specially people who want to focus on M+ such as myself.
I provided an example screenshot that shows me a few seconds into engaging the dummies, you can see all 4 dummies have the debuff on them, but my Spinning Crane Kick dropped to 3 stacks instead of being at 4.
The stacks were stuck at 3 even when i was single target switching between the dummies applying the debuff to each manually.
Storm, Earth and Fire actually SUBTRACTS EVEN MORE sometimes, taking u down to ~2 stacks as well on multi target fights, if used after u get initial stacks.
It is as if Storm, Earth and fire actually just takes away stacks instead of giving.
And actually i won’t ask the stupid question of “why”, as this is CLEARLY a bug , and fix it otherwise u are screwing windwalkers aoe dps massively.
Thanks.
