Primal Primer (Azerite Trait) w/ multiple Enhancement Shamans

Every enhancement shaman can consume every other enhancement shaman’s primal primer debuff. Additionally, only 1 primal primer debuff can be active on a target at any given time. If multiple enhancement shamans are present with the azerite trait, then all will contribute to the first debuff applied (but only the person who applied that debuff can benefit from it - other enhancement shamans will consume it (whether they have the trait or not) without gaining any bonus damage).

When a primal primer debuff has multiple contributors, its bonus damage calculation also seems to break down (from testing on the PTR with 3.56% versatility and 34.8% mastery, if I applied 4 primal primer stacks @ +210 per application, and another person applied 4 primal primer stacks on top of that @ +174 per application (+1536 total in the pool, in theory), then my base lava lash (4002 damage) should rise to ~6146 (4002+1.348x1.0356x1536), but it only went up to ~5946 or so (implying that I was only getting +138 bonus or so per stack from the other enhancement shaman’s contribution).

This bug is difficult to reproduce in-game since it is unlikely for 2 or more enhancement shamans to be present.

Sounds like bug fixed to me.

Bumping since still broken after patch.

Still broken. As the OP said. Primal Primer does not create separate stacks for each shaman. Only the shaman who applied the first stack can benefit from the damage bonus. Any shaman using Lava Lash will consume all stacks of Primal Primer on the target regardless of them having the trait or not.

This has been borked since launch and reported numerous times. Please fix it now that vacation’s over.

  • Fixed an issue where multiple Hunters could not stack Latent Poison onto the same target.
  • Fixed an issue where multiple Survival Hunters could not have Internal Bleeding from Wildfire Infusion on the same target at the same time.

  • Using Sundering will now correctly remove Ghost Wolf.

:thinking:

Still happening…

There was a hotfix that was sent out just a while ago that should correct this interaction.

Primal Power should now properly only be consumed by the shaman that afflicted the original debuff.

Good that is was fixed, but that took a while before it was fixed.

Thank you! Seems fixed now.
