Earthquake aftershock only spawns one aftershock per enemy

[Flintler]

Unsure if this is a bug or intended as this behavior isn’t mentioned in the tooltip. Regardless of how many minimum/maximum aftershocks you have for earthquake it will only ever spawn a single aftershock per enemy available. If you only have a single enemy nearby (e.g. a boss or high hp rare) you only get one aftershock instead of your minimum amount (up to 5 minimum with investment). I hope this isn’t the intended behavior.

Second note, it seems there was some similar reports in the past, but the Upheaval node appears to have no effect on the aftershock behavior or damage.

The Upheaval issue is a known bug:

Earthquake Upheaval Node Not Doing Full Damage

So the upheaval node on the earthquake skill tree turns the skill’s aftershocks into a DoT that is supposed to do its normal hit damage every second to an enemy as long as they are within the aftershock AoE. I’ve noticed however, that the first hit will do its normal damage but the subsequent hits will do roughly 5% of that. I even tried taking the following node, unabating, that increases aftershock’s damage to see if that would somehow correct the damage but it did not. I mostly tested this o…

The other issue hasn’t been reported yet.

It is intended behavior. I updated the tooltip to be more clear. I’m working on the upheaval node right now.

Thanks for updating the tooltip. I had hoped to make a aftershock build stacking the DoT of upheaval on big bosses, but I guess that’s not going to be at thing.

On the plus side, earthquake is getting some buffs and bug fixes that will make it better in general.
