e: I can't read. The bug is that the internal cooldown for mystic reverb doesn't work as you can get back to back Reverbs just not within the 3s delay. Leaving the rest in for posterity.
This might be intentional but it's a bit unclear from the tooltips. Mystic Reverb does not apply a 2nd time if the imbued ability hits again during the short delay. This is easiest to reproduce with an Echo Shard or long duration ability. In the Echo Shard case, I would expect a 2nd application of Mystic Reverb that had its own delay as it's an entirely separate cast of the spell.
In the example:
1. Slash (442 damage)
2. Echo Shard (+20 spirit)
3. Slash (491 + 172 damage)
I would expect a 2nd Mystic Reverb following step 3 for ~196damage.
The same behavior can be observed using an ability with a long duration like Seven's Lightning Ball. The numbers are a lot smaller but the idea is the same, you cannot apply Mystic Reverb during the 3s window. This case is a bit different since its one Lightning Ball cast so arguably should only have one Mystic Reverb activation. Selfishly I like playing Yamato so that's more what I care about
Some alternatives:
- Start a new Mystic Reverb timer for additional hits (could be a lot of hits for an ability like Lightning Ball)
- Refresh the initial Mystic Reverb timer and add to the damage (maybe abusable for large reverb hits?)
