Is Ascendance bugged?

When I pop Ascendance in combat it only spreads flame shocks and lava bursts maybe 25% of the time. The rest of the time absolutely nothing happens, or maybe it’ll cast once on one target despite their being ten other targets stacked on top.
I’m making sure I have aggro on everything beforehand and it still just doesn’t work.
Feels real bad given it’s a 3min CD.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Ascendance is currently bugged and is working contrary to the tooltip. They announced a hot fix for it on 10/24 but it has not been implemented. I assume that it will be implemented on 10/29 when they drop the guillotine on the spec’s neck.

For now, when you press Ascendance, the bug makes you slam an unholy amount of single-target damage into your target, so in dungeons, target the most dangerous target or boss when you press Ascendance. It is mighty strong, does a ridiculous amount of damage, and still generates about 80 Maelstrom for you to start blasting.
