Necro Bug is Back

While doing vKA last night on my EC Cro I noticed that mystic siphon is NOT applying the shock status effect for EC. I tried moving positioning, changing the tether location on corpses and nothing was working. To test my theory on if it was the tether or just EC being glitched I slotted crushing shock as a spammable and then all 3 status effects showed. Can anyone else confirm this bug happening to them as well?

    PC NA (Tank/DPS) - [PVE]
    Started ESO - Oct 2020

    Necro Main
    Tank main from 300cp - 1200cp at which point I switched to DPS - I was 100k on every class except werewolf. I cleared 115k on necro, but I am completely done with parsing. My hands won't let me anymore. Lucky there is still heavy attack and arcanist options available. Otherwise I would possibly have to give up eso entirely.

    So in short, Necro problems include:

    Empowering grasp is broken (doesn't apply its buff to pets consistently)

    The tethers are broken (don't apply damage around the corpse)

    Corpse Consumption is broken (can't consume corpses unless a freshly created corpse is in the pile)

    Tracking for BG scoreboards is broken (pet damage and healing isn't tracked).

    Skulls cast queue is finicky (frequently queues an extra cast)

    Hey at least the class has cool animations right?

    Yes I can confirm and if needed record a video to show this.

    The tethers line itself does do damage and the aoe attached to the player is doing damage, however the aoe around the tether's corpse is not dealing damage.

    Also this applies to both siphons the explosion from Detonating Siphon appears to is still be working.

    Mystic Siphon with 76% uptime but did no damage.

    I'm glad you were able to get logs for this. I am PS/NA so no combat metrics for me. I was going to try and grab a clip wearing EC and show Siphon not procing shock buff on EC.

    @ZOS_Kevin I had put in a ticket for this (240123-001930).

    I will have to delete my post! Teach me for not checking others first. I have experienced the same problem today whilst testing on a target dummy.
    I also submitted a ticket.
    Struggling to find a new class to call home.Please send help.

    So they addressed it in the recently released patch notes for PTS....

    " Shocking Siphon: Fixed an issue where this ability and morphs’ damage were not properly creating their Area of Effects around the corpse they were targeted on. "

    Where does this even leave us until the patch gets released on PC & Console?

    Has anyone tested detonating siphon yet?
