Earlier today I obtained 40/40 points in the Mastering the Elements node of the Mastering the Elements specialization. This does not appear to be functioning properly. The tooltip reads “you are able to gather more elemental essence from elementally-charged herbs”.
However, after - and only after - maxxing out this node, all Infurious herbs that I have been picking up have been rewarding one and only one Rousing Ire. This is in contrast to before I chose the node, when Infurious herbs would drop anywhere from 3-8 Rousing Ire (averaging about 5). I have looted about 20 herbs since this point and all have suffered from the same issue.
Additionally, this talent does not seem to be functioning properly. I am looting the same amount of elemental essence from herbs as I was when I had fewer than 40 points invested (i.e 2-3 essence per node, 5-9 from an overloaded herb). I thought maybe there might be a low chance to get an exceptional proc (i.e 5% chance to get 3x extra) but after looting for an hour I didn’t experience any elemental herbs dropping more than 3 rousing nodes.
