From running it, i believe it can hit multiple times. Idk if it's bc it's an aoe, or if it's because the enemy moved between the shalks and therefore getting hit by two?

You only get hit once by it by a single person. We’re you fighting multiple people? Could be possible another guy hit you but he was further away

Fighting 2 Wardens, hit by 3 subs - 2 by same person. And no there was no time to recast and hit another time because I died instantly with 2 dawnbreakers piled in there.

Seems the shalks themselves actually have collision and aren’t simply an animation (for example, if you face towards a corner and cast wall of elements, part of the animation extends through the wall. If you do the same and cast shalks, I’ve noticed two-three shalks piles on top of one another depending on how close I am). That would lead me to believe that maybe each of the three shalks is a separate instance of damage. If that’s the case and the shalks are stacked or if you’re overlapping two shalks, you’d take multiple hits from the same cast.

I have no clue how zos’ code actually looks for this though so that’s mostly speculation and might not actually be the case.

I've noticed that sometimes this skill hits twice? Is this just a random bug or intended....I've gotten hit with it multiple time, 4-6k twice from one sub. It's not all the time but randomly it occurs.

Well if you slot a skill icon with the picture of a bug, activate the skill icon with a picture of a bug and bugs pop outta the ground...then I can't see how anyone could think that it was a random bug. No sir, someone intended for that bug to be there.

But seriously, what @jypcy said.
