1. Zephyr’s Focus does not proc when casting Stone Shards, while Obsidian Focus does.

2. Diamond Skin does not work with bonus Toughness, such as toughness gained from Obsidian Focus.

I feel 10% is a joke for a grandmaster trait…

I wouldn’t think that Diamond Skin would work with extras like Obsidian Focus…otherwise it would be constantly back and forth, as you’re likely not casting Stone Shards for eternity.

It couldn’t do that, might be op, 30 extra condition damage.

I’d say lack of full testing.

I think Zephyr’s Focus has always been bugged with sceptre earth 1.

It appears to work with Signet of Earth.

It appears to no longer work with any bonus Toughness, including Signet of Earth. It seems that this Trait doesn’t synergize with Earth attunement as well as I’d like.

There are several skills that doesn’t trigger Zephyr’s and Obsidian Focus, which you might think they should.

Like..

  • Stone Shards
  • Flamestrike
  • Lightning Surge
  • Conjured Weapons channels

Rather sure they aren’t channeled skills, but only has an very long casting time. I know it works with Meteor Shower, Arc Lightning, Dragon’s Breath and Cone of Cold, which do damage while channeling. So perhaps that is the problem.

In the end, the traits aren’t really useful, except giving you a minor boost if using Ether Renewal.

Never understand why you’d want 10% of Toughness. Even at 2000 Toughness adding 200 Condition Damage is nothing because chances are you already have more than enough (1400+) as is.

I think the trait is bugged in that it shouldn’t work for skills that aren’t considered “channel” skills like they do not have an extra effect or they only have a long cast time.
