Siphoning Strike Periodically Seems to Not Get Charges When it Should

Had several instances where an enemy was shocked, hit them with Siphoning Strike lightning effect disappears from the enemy, but no power charges generated.

im having this same problem too

This bug has been problem for me like 1 month now. There is tons of shocked enemies and I use siphoning strike and like 5 shocked mob dies and not a single charge gained :/ ??

Only way I can understand this can be happening if enemies are dying at the same time when charging and they die just millisecond before to something else like Herald of Thunder proc or something similar.

Edit. But yeah sometimes this is happening with staggering palm too. So no idea?

Issue still remains (28.02.2026). I am playing with a normal Quarterstaff (no Hollow Palm) and am in act IV of the campaign (so no excessive attack speed etc.)

Sometimes Siphoning Strike doesn't hit at all (especially at range, despite more than sufficient accuracy), doesn't grant power charges or doesn't trigger its shockwave when it consumes shock on enemies.

The most bugged skill gem I have encountered so far. Weirdly enough, it often works fine for long periods of time and then suddenly "breaks" and the aforementioned bugs start to occur.
