Howdy,
I have noticed a few times in M+ and in raid that my flagellation instantly only gave me 1 stack of the haste buff and skipped over the whole first part of the ability where it lashes damage.
I assumed it was being parried, dodged or blocked and I was just getting unlucky, but after reading on wowhead, it says that it can’t be parried, dodged or blocked.
I was wondering if anyone else has been having this issue?
(Sorry if it has been posted already and I can’t see it)
i actually see this problem as well… not sure what cases it though.
When I activate Flagellation, I get 1 stack. Then about 1 second later I get 4 for a total of 5. Then it’s 1 stack per CP spent. I don’t know if this the intended behavior or not. But it’s pretty consistent.
I still fell like I’m getting gypped because the most stacks I can get is 22-23 out of 30. That’s about 75% effectiveness of our covenant ability. Are there any other class / covenant combinations that give less than 100% effectiveness? I don’t think so. It really sucks when you pop Flagellation, then 5 seconds later you have deal with a mechanic and waste your cool down.
With the bug that I am having (and Celestina it seems), you activate Flag. and you don’t even have the stack building, you just immediately get 1 stack and that’s all.
Something to keep in mind.
Flagellation has two components.
A debuff on the target and buff on the player, which has two parts. It sounds like you might be only tracking the target debuff, which doesn’t have stacks.
The player buff is the part which stacks and will show as a stacking buff. The first part is the lashes that stack based on CP’s spent. Then after 12 seconds the player gets a different buff that increases haste based on the stacks built up during the first buff.
There are 3 spells in action, all named Flagellation. Make sure you’re tracking the correct one.
I’ll defently start paying attention to 5he damage since you brought this up.
This is very unlikely, unless the WA breaks halfway during a m+.
However, the next use everything is fine again… dont think i’ll be able to replicate it though.
Maybe lag? Or maybe it is bugged.
Not bugged. Testing [Flagellation] with without weapons or enchantments stepped back after getting in range.

Discussing Conduit - Lashing Strikes I’ve seen the buff tool tip and effect on character screen being delayed second(s) when buffed/using weapons/enchantments.
