Trying to do the Highmountain world quest Munitions Testing just now which has the Expanding Shot power as its choice today, and my character’s power is at a point in HWT that the beasts are one-shot whenever I cast on them. I have 2/10 progress despite killing well over 15. Tagging them before casting the ability doesn’t seem to help.
The damage recorded also doesn’t make sense, as these mobs have 30M health but are dying to single ~6.5M hits. Makes me wonder if this power is somehow afflicted with the issue occurring in TWW delves where enemies die to being hit with powers despite no excess recorded damage.
EDIT: Yeah there’s definitely some issue going on here which is related to the delve powers bug. I’m able to channel Expanding Shot on Gurbog da Basher who patrols the southern end of the area, and even though I only visibly see ticks for about 6.5M, his current health gets reduced by an additional ~70M or so alongside each tick. Not damaged, but just reduced. This really feels like some internal testing flag was left on for extra action button abilities in world and delve situations.
My report on that issue: Certain delve abilities deleting enemies post-11.2.5

Yep I cannot complete this quest. Use of the Razik’s protoype on the quest mobs gives no credit.
If you search, this WQ has been bugged since 2021, largely for the same reason I suspect. Not super surprising that if they couldn’t (or just chose not to) get it fixed for retail it’d arrive in Remix with the same probelm
While true, the bug here is being encountered for different reasons though.
Someone doing the world quest in 2021 is likely one-shotting the mobs due to legacy scaling, with legitimate damage.
Meanwhile, here, there isn’t enough damage being recorded to one-shot the mobs but they are dying anyway of unknown reasons that point to a link to the delve abilities bug.
The Quest is available today so Abuse the Hell out of it for Infinite Power Bronze XP Speed level from it with no problems since you one shot everything and you can farm that Rarespawn nearby and kill it within 3-4 shots Go Ham People You arent breaking the Rules since the World Quest has been Mass Flagged as Broken so you are just doing what Blizzard want you to do farm something that can help you and if Blizzard Complain then thats on them its not like we are abusing Game Mechanics when its not our intention to abuse it its just game mechanics done right.
