It seems that currently Tankbuster gets very inconsistent results with Puddle Punch on the trigger rate (see below a picture of my build which is very spirit/melee focused; Edit, do not mind the names of the tiers, as changing my build screwed them over and I have changed them since)
Sometimes I get a trigger when I have Melee charge bonus (7s passive) or a 2 stack of Crushing Firsts (upgrade from Melee Charge), but otherwise it does not trigger. Even when I get a proc of 184/185 spirit damage (+ regular damage of 246). Which is strange as the (spirit?) damage threshold should be 165 - see attached vid for build/souls/etc. --> First hit is below 165 spirit, but above that on the other damage, even when we get above the potential threshold on the spirit side (if this would be the limitation), with 184/185 spirit damage it still does not trigger TB.
Buying even more spirit focused items (i.e. Enchanters Emblem in my build), does give a good trigger rate eventually, but it seems it is more scaled with total spirit power, than just the damage threshold listed on the item).
If we just read the description, just the 'pure damage done by the ability' (i.e. 165 damage) and not the 'spirit infusion', the trigger of this item should theoretically be even way earlier, roughly between 10-12K souls depending on items and once you unlock the lvl5 puddle punch.
It does trigger consistently trigger with splatter, no issues encountered here. (I assume with Ball there will be no issue as there is pure spirit scaling, like splatter, but did not specifically test it for this case)
so not sure if this is intended behavior or a bug, but certainly makes me reconsider when/if to buy it in my build.
