Storm's Aid node in Tempest strike is summoning unskilled Storm Totem

[Merakon]

I wanted to make a lightning shaman build that utilised the interaction between Tempest strike and Storm Totem, that is using the storm’s aid talent on tempest strike so I could summon a storm totem automatically and then that storm totem will buff my movespeed and lightning damage with the nodes stormrider+grounding conduit.

However, not once did the totem summoned by storm’s aid ever boost my movespeed or lightning damage. I had my character sheet open for a long time and it never changed.

When I manually summoned the storm totem it did boost both my movespeed and lightning damage, almost immediately.

I also noticed that my manually summoned storm totem was much tankier than my auto-summoned one, which died in a few hits.

My conclusion is that the storm’s aid node is summoning a lvl 1 storm totem and perhaps not even scaling with attunement.

Known issue:

Tempest Strike specialization - Storm's Aid

The Storm Totem summoned by this specialization does not seem to take on the Storm Totem specializations. In addition, it is possible for the player to summon a second totem when the procced totem is already up. However, the procced totem will replace the player summoned totem. I hope it’s not meant to replace the player summoned totem because the proc rate seems a bit low for that

This has been posted before though there wasn’t a response then. There was a response here though that I think might be applicable to your post though.

This will be fixed in 0.7.9. Thanks!
