The Windfury Totem SituationTotem Furie-des-ventsor isn’tThe PTR Fix

June 2nd:
Totem Furie-des-vents - Summons a Windfury Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster for 2 min. Party members within 30 yds have a 20% (up from 10%) chance when they auto-attack to swing an extra time. - Verified on PTR, but inactive on live.

Fracture hits are supposed to proc Porte-tempête (stated in the patch 9.0.5 notes here) - It still doesn’t.

Fracture and Frappe de glace are our only weapon-based attacks that don’t proc the Arme langue de feu imbue, but they do trigger all other attack-based procs (except for Fracture with Porte-tempête - see above).

Impact foudroyant has two (beneficial) bugs!

Shadowlands introduced square root scaling on a number of area of effect attacks as one way of throttling uncapped AoE potential (especially among melee specializations), and this was something that was added to Impact foudroyant; however, it was only applied to the on-cast effect, and the splash triggered from Frappe-tempête and Fouet de lave casts during the Impact foudroyant buff are still entirely uncapped.

The splash effect from casting Frappe-tempête and Fouet de lave during the Impact foudroyant buff also generates Arme du Maelström stacks, while not triggering any other on-hit or proc effects (historically, only the Impact foudroyant cast itself has been able to proc things). Either this is an accident or it should be triggering everything.

Casting NecrolordVague primordialeHorion de givreVisual glows have issues with abilities on the action bar:

If a Frappe-tempête is parried with Porte-tempête active, the ability goes on cooldown but Porte-tempête is not consumed, resulting in the Frappe-tempête icon continuing to glow - this is really jarring for players that expect for the ability to be available for use whenever it lights up.

This visual bug also applies to Venthyr's Moisson en chaîne despite being on cooldown if the shaman has 5 or more stacks of Arme du Maelström.

Fouet de lave can sometimes fail at the tail end of Main brûlante procs due to the cooldown reduction buff expiring before the global cooldown latency finishes, leaving you with a dead global and a fizzled button press.

Isn’t made instant by Arme du Maelström, requires a hard cast set up, scales with nothing.

Made instant by Arme du Maelström, but doesn’t scale with stacks after.

Still instant, double dips on both its own buff + current Arme du Maelström stacks without technically consuming any, so required you to build back up to 10 stacks total due to scaling past the regular 5.

Excess scaling with Arme du Maelström fixed, and now only scales with up to 5 stacks present.

Patch 9.0.5: Reworked to only work on Chaîne d’éclairs, buffed up to 300% from 150%, but no longer scales at all with Arme du Maelström stacks present resulting in a net loss.
