Tempest Strike's 'Bolt Charge on Jolt Kill' Does Not Count Properly
After testing multiple sources of Jolt kills, I can confidently say that the effect added to the Tempest Strike Aspect does not properly count the number of kills. This is [i]without Spark of Frequency[/i] but here are my numbers from all sources of Jolt on the Hunter Kit
[u][b]Stacks of Bolt Charge[/b][/u]
Any Jolt Kill [Tempest Strike equipped]:
> 2 Stacks on the first kill regardless
>>[b]Note: [/b] All numbers following this will be from kills outside the first
> 1 Stack on every kill to an enemy inflicted by jolt (not multi-kills, usually need to be spaced out)
>> [b]Note: [/b]Includes Voltshot, Jolting Feedback, Lethal Current, and any source of single target Jolt.
> 0 Stacks from kills by Jolts chain lightning damage from any source
Tempest Strike Melee:
> 0 Stacks if the enemy is killed by the very outskirts of the wave
> 1 Stack if killing a group of enemies, [b][i]Regardless of group size[/i][/b]
Gathering Storm:
> 1 Stack from initial impact [b][i]Regardless of group size[/i][/b]
> (up to) 1 Stack from secondary lightning strike? [b][i]Regardless of group size[/i][/b] (mostly 0 during testing, probably incremented by damage alone)
Raiju's Harness:
> 1 Stack from Super cast lightning kills [b][i]Regardless of group size[/i][/b]
Spark of Shock:
> 1 Stack from grenade kill [b][i]Regardless of group size[/i][/b]
> 2 Stacks if the grenade lasts long enough to kill at the beginning and end of its lifespan(Spark of Magnitude)
Ascension Aspect:
> 1 Stack from special movement kills [b][i]Regardless of group size[/i][/b]
Gifted Conviction:
> 1 Stack from bouncing explosive kills [b][i]Regardless of group size[/i][/b]
I think you can see the pattern. Spark of Frequency is required to even remotely match the base potency of Bolt Charge on the other classes. If the Jolt kills would be able to count correctly then it wouldn't be much of an issue but as it stands right now, every single damage source that can apply Jolt and kill a group of enemies cannot grant more than 1 stack of Bolt Charge. It reminds me how the other classes have easier access to Ignitions than Hunters. Please update it to count properly.

I made a mistake by having on the Artifact perk Dielectric which gives a stack of Bolt Charge from from killing Arc debuffed targets. Here are the numbers without the perk (changes are underlined): [b][u]Stacks of Bolt Charge[/u][/b] Any Jolt Kill [Tempest Strike equipped]: > [u]1 Stack on the first kill regardless[/u] >>Note: All numbers following this will be from kills outside the first > 1 Stack on every kill to an enemy inflicted by jolt (not multi-kills, usually need to be spaced out) >> Note: Includes Voltshot, Jolting Feedback, Lethal Current, and any source of single target Jolt. > 0 Stacks from kills by Jolts chain lightning damage from any source Tempest Strike Melee: > 0 Stacks if the enemy is killed by the very outskirts of the wave > 1 Stack if killing a group of enemies, [i][b]Regardless of group size[/b][/i] Gathering Storm: > 1 Stack from initial impact Regardless of group size > (up to) 1 Stack from secondary lightning strike? [i][b]Regardless of group size[/b][/i] (mostly 0 during testing, probably incremented by damage alone) Raiju's Harness: > 1 Stack from Super cast lightning kills [i][b]Regardless of group size[/b][/i] Spark of Shock: > 1 Stack from grenade kill [i][b]Regardless of group size[/b][/i] > 2 Stacks if the grenade lasts long enough to kill at the beginning and end of its lifespan(Spark of Magnitude) Ascension Aspect: > 1 Stack from special movement kills [i][b]Regardless of group size[/b][/i] Gifted Conviction: > 1 Stack from bouncing explosive kills [i][b]Regardless of group size[/b][/i] Dielectric (Artifact Perk): > 1 Stack from Jolted target kills [i][b]Regardless of group size[/b][/i] >> Note: Does not stack with Tempest Strike except for the first stack of Bolt Charge (1 -> 2 stacks on first Jolted kill) > 1 Stack from Blinded Target kills (Spark of Beacons, Blinding Grenade, Etc.) [i][b]Regardless of group size[/b][/i] So not only does Tempest Strike count the number of Jolt kills incorrectly but now I learned that the Artifact perk [i][u]DOES NOT[/u][/i] stack with Tempest Strike outside of the [i]first kill[/i]. This is ridiculous. How am I supposed to capitalize off the new Bolt Charge keyword when I can't even obtain stacks properly during ad clear when that's the main method of getting stacks as a Hunter?! Hunter has so many sources of Jolt but what's the point of tacking on Bolt Charge if none of them work to give any stacks properly? Please fix
